The supremely eccentric house built by Kamil Gök of Dereköy village, Bodrum, Turkey.Kamil Gök built this structure, and also ran a store on the bottom floor before he passed away. In old age, he had discovered the artistic side of his personality, and built numerous fountains, small monuments and busts. He liked forming structures with simple materials, alternating between painted surfaces and sculpted reliefs in their decoration. These works were located mostly in Kamil Gök’s immediate neighbourhood.Unfortunately, his son tore down this building while Kamil Gök was still alive. A modern house stands in its place instead.Source: Tuncer Ertem, Bodrum Ev Stili ve Kültürü, Celsius, Istanbul, 2000.
