View ProfileHilal Ustun Caner
Turkey (TR)
Hilal Ustun Caner graduated from ITU in 2008 with a double major in Architecture and Landscape Architecture. Shortly after her graduation, she stepped into the world of design by collaborating with one of Walt Disney’s designers, Valerio Mazzoli, on Turkey’s first theme park, Landora. Following her coordination role at Vialand Theme Park, she went on to design Viasea Theme Park, leaving her mark on a series of successful projects. With over 17 years of experience, she continues her practice at Hucre Architecture, where she explores the intersection of design, narrative, and craftsmanship. As a storyteller, Hilal approaches design as a narrative, where every space carries its own voice, waiting to be revealed. For her, architecture is not just about shaping structures but about crafting experiences—immersive, emotional, and deeply connected to their users. She believes that spaces hold memories, emotions, and meaning, and her role is to translate these into tangible forms. Every project begins as a journey of discovery, where she carefully listens, observes, and interprets the unspoken layers of a place and its people. With a refined yet expressive architectural language, she curates materials, textures, light, and spatial flow to shape environments that feel both timeless and personal. Aesthetics and functionality are inseparable; a space must be visually striking yet intuitively fluid. True uniqueness lies in the details—craftsmanship, materiality, and the subtle interplay of light and shadow. Rather than following trends, she defines her own path, focusing on authenticity and lasting impact. For Hilal, architecture is not just about building—it is about storytelling, shaping spaces that evolve, breathe, and resonate with those who inhabit them.
