About Us
WHO ARE WE?
Miras Restorasyon was established to offer a professional perspective, drawing on nearly 30 years of experience and expertise gained through administrative and field roles in institutions dedicated to the preservation of our cultural heritage both in Turkey and abroad. In our projects for mosques, inns, baths, madrasas, tombs, museums, and archaeological sites, we apply traditional architectural techniques in light of contemporary scientific restoration principles. We differentiate ourselves through our interdisciplinary expert team and our commitment to valuing people and knowledge, ensuring the preservation of the original character and historical fabric of the structures we undertake. We view our historical heritage not merely as physical structures, but as living entities reflecting the spirit and aesthetic understanding of their era. With respect for our culture and values, we restore the spirit of structures bearing the traces of the past or those that have lost their function, ensuring their preservation for the future without erasing the traces of their history.
