What Oncuoglu Architects does

The firm provides professional architecture and design services spanning master planning, mixed-use developments, retail, hospitality, office, residential, cultural, educational, and public-sector projects, with stated portfolio scale of 350+ projects across 30+ locations.

The firm operates five staffed offices in Ankara, Istanbul, Dubai, Tashkent, and London, and has delivered work in countries including Turkey, Uzbekistan, Russia, Albania, Moldova, Senegal, Morocco, Malta, Kyrgyzstan, Germany, Qatar, and Costa Rica. Its underlying technology is human-led architectural and urban design expertise applied to large-scale projects, with particular depth in X-large mixed-use and master plan typologies; no proprietary software, AI, or platform technology is disclosed.

Oncuoglu earns revenue through project-based professional service fees on commissions from enterprise real estate developers (e.g., Ziraat GYO, AKA Group, Hyper Partners, Polimeks), government and public-sector clients (Uzbekistan Ministry of Construction, Turkey Ministry of National Education, İSKİ, Niger Ministry of Finance), and international hospitality operators (Courtyard by Marriott). Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, and go-to-market is direct enterprise sales via relationships, partnerships with international contractors such as Turner PM, and reputation earned through international awards from bodies including the IADA, European Property Awards, Asia Pacific Property Awards, and African Property Awards.
