We picked up this call from our Facebook group and confirmed basic details with the host. Eka Cave Maison is a five-room cave boutique hotel in the Ürgüp area of Cappadocia, run by Hasret and Evren. Alongside the hotel, the hosts have recently rented an unused 140 m² warehouse that they are transforming into two unique Airbnb-style rooms inspired by the spirit of Cappadocia. They are looking for hands-on volunteers to help create, build, and produce the space together, with a “mystical, minimalist, and modern” design direction (note: reference images shared online are for inspiration only, not the exact final design).

Hello everyone,
I am a hotel operator based in Ürgüp, Cappadocia, currently running Eka Cave Maison, a boutique hotel with 5 rooms. I come from a restoration background and deeply value creating spaces that respect historical texture while being aesthetic, authentic, mystical, minimalist, and modern.
We have recently rented an unused 140 m² warehouse, which we are transforming into two unique Airbnb rooms inspired by the spirit of Cappadocia. During this creative transformation, I am looking for volunteers who would like to create, build, and produce together.
