Concept Study

Formula 1 Week Istanbul

Independent Concept

A self-initiated study exploring how a Formula 1 race week could be authored as a city-wide luxury destination rather than a weekend of separate events.

The concept weaves Istanbul's cultural fabric — Bosphorus, bathhouse, bazaar, brutalist concrete — into paddock hospitality, private dining and after-dark programming.

The Idea

One narrative across seven days: arrival, the city, the circuit, the night. Guests move through a single authored story rather than a schedule of venues.

02

Paddock Hospitality

A modular suite language in brushed aluminium and muted neutrals, warmed by champagne detailing and low, directional light.

03

City Programming

Private dinners in historic interiors, waterfront receptions and a members-only late lounge, each tied to the same material and tonal palette.

04

Guest Journey

Transfers, accreditation and viewing choreographed so the logistics of a race weekend never surface for the guest.
