In 2011 he moved to Istanbul, where he began a fruitful activity as a senior architect for the “TUNCA MIMARLIK” studio in Istanbul, where he designed several buildings both in Turkey and in other foreign countries (United States, Turkmenistan, Azerbaijan, etc.), especially hotels, resorts and shopping centers.
