ABOUT
Qh.Studio is a architectural and design studio founded by
Kübra Mercan Harputluoglu in 2022.
​
She was born in the Netherlands, after completing her BSc. in Architecture and Construction Engineering, Kübra obtained her masters degree at Eindhoven University of Technology in Architecture, Building and Planning. During her career she obtained several experiences in Africa, USA and Europe and worked with international companies. Thereafter, she founded Qh.Studio in 2022.
With a background in both architecture and the visual arts, her work bridges disciplines and scales: from built houses to conceptual drawings, from material studies to curated exhibitions. She sees architecture not only as construction, but as a poetic lens through which to explore memory, rhythm, and light.
Through QhS, Kübra develops projects that are tactile, intuitive, and layered. Her work is often grounded in slow observation, sketching, and photographic inquiry. The studio focuses on small-scale projects with high emotional and conceptual impact, from family houses to spatial installations and research-based proposals.
Recently, Kübra Harputluoglu is a member of Dutch Business Association in Turkey and taught at Beykent University in "21- "22.
Her projects have been awarded and exhibited internationally, including features in architecture festivals, open calls, and photography platforms.
In parallel, she gives talks and lectures on design process, material atmospheres, and the value of small-scale thinking in architecture today.
​
Qh.Studio believes in building with care, care for place, for craft, and for people.
