Inspired by the mystical beauty of Cappadocia, Turkey, I designed a resort that immerses guests in its surreal landscape, rich history, and timeless stories. At its heart is Refuge of the Rocks: The Hidden City Unveiled - a magical walk-through experience that reveals the secrets of underground cities and cave churches. I also designed a cart that celebrates the region’s history and cultural artistry.
