What Dome+Partners does

Dome+Partners is a privately held architecture practice founded in 1997 by Murat Yılmaz and headquartered in Istanbul, Turkey. The firm delivers architectural design and interior engineering services across a broad typology including residential, mixed-use, commercial, cultural, hospitality, educational, urban planning, marina, and theme-park developments for enterprise clients such as real-estate developers (Rams Global, IS GYO, Varyap, Nef, Lens Proje), financial institutions (Halykbank), holdings (DIA Holding), and government bodies (Government of Kazakhstan). The firm operates from offices in Istanbul, Astana, Almaty, Tashkent, and Berlin (Dome Germany GmbH), with completed projects across Turkey, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Germany, Azerbaijan, and Iraq.

The firm's core technology is Building Information Modeling (BIM), which it was first to adopt among architecture firms in Turkey, enabling comprehensive design and engineering of large-scale, complex projects irrespective of project location. Select projects (Metropol Istanbul, Viaport Houses, SPK HQ) are LEED candidate or LEED Gold targets, indicating a sustainability positioning integrated into deliverable contracts rather than a standalone offering.

Commercially, Dome+Partners operates a project-based professional-services revenue model: revenue is generated through design and engineering service fees quoted per project by scope and complexity, with no publicly disclosed pricing schedule. Distribution is direct enterprise engagement (sales-led), and marketing is anchored in a portfolio-driven website (dome.ws) and industry award recognition, with the firm accumulating 25+ international design awards across 2023-2025 from programs including BLT Built Design Awards, DNA Paris Design Awards, German Design Awards, World Architecture Festival, and multiple Property Awards (International, European, Asian, Arabian).
