URBANJOBS

URBANJOBS is a design-driven interior architecture studio based in Istanbul, Turkey, specializing in holistic, material-conscious design solutions across commercial, hospitality, and workplace sectors. Founded in 2017 by architect Murat Dede, the studio is known for its seamless integration of spatial function, user behavior, and aesthetic refinement.

With a strong focus on contextual design, URBANJOBS approaches every project as a tailored response to its environment and purpose. From minimalist offices and curated restaurants to hospitality interiors, the studio combines custom craftsmanship, fluid layouts, and expressive material palettes to create spatial experiences that are as functional as they are emotionally resonant.

URBANJOBS believes that architecture should not only serve practical needs but also shape how people feel, think, and interact. Their signature style blends natural textures, reflective materials, and precise geometric forms, resulting in timeless interiors that speak to both identity and atmosphere.

Notable projects include the Özlenir Headquarter in Istanbul, the Scalla Restaurant with its sculptural copper-clad façade, and the minimal yet impactful Zula Zorlu Bar. In each work, URBANJOBS emphasizes human-centered design, attention to every detail—from lighting to door handles—and a commitment to sensory storytelling.

URBANJOBS has been featured on platforms like Architonic, Archello, Archilovers, GS Magazine, and TrendHunter for its innovative and refined take on contemporary interiors.
