NADAS Istanbul is a creative house in Yeldeğirmeni, Kadıköy, founded in April 2018 by Jess Sim and Ahu Kopan. The project occupies a 1930’s house with 3-floors and a garden.

NADAS is dedicated to urban biodiversity, supporting projects that value the diversity of urban life and relationships between people and their environments. Among other activities, NADAS hosts: creative workshops and classes, meetings and gatherings, gardening and planting, product sales, rentals, private art studios, and personal office work (coworking). By providing space for such ideas to be tested, realized, and shared, NADAS aims to build a community around living more slowly, mindfully and empathetically.
