GOOA Architecture was founded in 2011 in Istanbul by architect Emre Arslan.
Since its establishment, the team has continued to work in strong collaboration with the aim of creating modern, comfortable, and timeless structures. By balancing functionality and aesthetics in design, GOOA prioritizes the unique context and user needs of each project. Through innovative solutions and sustainable approaches, it seeks to enhance spatial quality and create lasting value.

Functionality and aesthetics are the cornerstones of our designs. In every project, GOOA aims not only to produce a physical structure but also to create livable, perceptible, and context-specific atmospheres. Guided by principles of energy efficiency and environmental awareness, our projects offer users reliable, flexible, and sustainable solutions. Material knowledge, conceptual depth, and design strength are among the key dynamics of every process.
GOOA regards the practical realization of architectural thinking as a responsibility and takes an active role in the implementation phase of projects. From foundation to roof, every stage of construction is carried out with attention to technical competence, occupational safety, and compliance with standards, ensuring that projects are completed accurately and on time. For GOOA, what matters is not merely the completion of a building, but its ability to tell its story in full.
As of 2015, particularly in Bodrum, GOOA began offering turnkey construction services with trained and professional on-site teams, in addition to architectural design. This approach allowed the entire process—from concept to realization—to be handled as one cohesive whole.
As an interior reflection of this architectural practice, the brand Materia.list was founded in 2025. Offering interior furniture, complementary objects, and material solutions, Materia.list extends GOOA’s architectural approach to the scale of product design, focusing on simplicity, functionality, and timelessness. Together, GOOA and Materia.list establish a design chain that spans from space to object. This structure upholds the belief that architecture is not merely a shell, but a multilayered experience that shapes life itself. In every line and every material decision, this philosophy comes to life once again.
