The whimsical architecture
Intending to make your shopping experience more indulging, the architect duo has played around with the store area, which has a high ceiling and big windows. As you step inside Hurrem’s, you will be greeted by a peaceful vibe and exotic beauty. Large turquoise windows wrapped with rich red curtains have been used to throw a middle-eastern feel while the subtle colours used throughout the walls will take you on a trip to serenity. Every element has been added keeping in mind the grandeur of the place. You will take no time to get comfortable on the sink-in sofas and enjoy Turkish delicacies. While the beautiful artwork is unmissable, the ornamental chandelier and astonishing copper and brass hanging lanterns are equally praise-worthy.
