The Borusan Music & Art House is a contemporary urban renovation project located on a pedestrian street in the historic Beyoğlu district of Istanbul Istiklal Caddesi. The area is characterized by late Ottoman era structures from the 19th & 20th centuries. The Borusan Music & Art House was originally referred to as the French Apartment, and was one of many retail and residential buildings lining this busy avenue.
