The unforgettable Niyazi from "Çiçek Taksi" and Laz Şükrü from "İnci Taneleri," the master actor Gafur Uzuner, lives in harmony with nature in his 4+1 house, which he built according to his own taste on a plot of land he purchased 25 years ago, nestled in the forest in Şile. The house, with its spacious garden, stone fireplace, and works of art, resembles a paradise.

Gafur Uzuner, one of the beloved actors of Turkish television, is living a peaceful life away from the city crowd, in the lush forests of Şile. The artist, who won the love of millions with his character Niyazi in "Çiçek Taksi" and recently appeared on screen as Laz Şükrü in the series "İnci Taneleri," built a mountain house with his own hands on a plot of land he acquired nearly a quarter of a century ago.
A LIFE IN HARMONY WITH NATURE
The most striking feature of the house is undoubtedly its garden. The spacious area shaded by fruit trees and adorned with sculptures and a decorative pond is, in Uzuner's words, like "a small paradise." Relaxing in hammocks, listening to the sounds of nature, and creating art are part of daily life here.
THE WARMTH OF A VILLAGE HOUSE
The interior welcomes its visitors with an authentic atmosphere. Wooden beams supporting the ceiling, a large stone fireplace, cedar sofas, and specially designed furniture add both a village house feel and a warm intimacy to the home. Copper vessels placed next to the fireplace, handmade paintings, and floor cushions turn every corner into a unique story.
"I FIND LIFE HERE"
Uzuner, who built a four-room, one-living room house according to his taste on the plot of land he acquired about 25 years ago, shares the story of this house with the words, "When I came to Şile for a series project, I worked here for three and a half months," on the program "Evrim Akın ile Ev Gezmesi."
“I bought this land back then, and then I built my house on it. I have been living here for 25 years. It gives me both peace and inspiration.”
