A grand Tuscan-inspired manor built around a still-water courtyard and arched colonnades — an ultra-private sanctuary of warm natural materials.

A contemporary residence of clean geometric lines, opening toward a pool court and garden that extend its modern language outdoors.

A hillside complex that steps with the topography around a shared pool and terraces, giving each home privacy within a collective landscape.

A 41,100 m² thermal wellness resort where pools blur the indoor–outdoor threshold, woven into the topography as one continuous facility.

A vertical office on a tight urban site — its green podium and planted timber ‘living facade’ with automated irrigation turn the envelope into growing architecture.

A 15,000 m² hangar and technical complex for the Coast Guard Command at İzmir Airport — civic presence given to a technical program.

A warm, child-centred family interior dissolved into one fluid living area — bespoke down to a dedicated dressing room.

A pivot from interior architecture to healthcare product R&D — hygiene-focused units and shields taken from sketch to full-scale production.

Esra Yılmaz Uğur is a licensed architect. She holds a Master of Science in Computational Architecture from Yıldız Technical University and a professional degree from Karadeniz Technical University, with an Erasmus year in Alghero, Italy.
Across fifteen years she has led work spanning healthcare, aviation, housing, hospitality and interiors — at Öge Architects, Plan Z Architecture and Memorial Healthcare Group — before co-founding Magma. She believes good space comes not from ornament, but from proportion, material and light.
