Sonsuz Sükran Köyü is a brand new culture and arts village built on the historic and valuable grounds of Anatolia. Adobe houses, artist´s studios and planning is made entirely according to the old seljukian adobe architecture, but inside and in outside areas, artists will put their artistic footprints and use their creativity to design their surroundings. The area of Sonsuz Sükran Köyü is completely foreseen for exclusive, individual, national and international activities and events of culture and arts. The village is built up very close to Cavus Community, that belongs to Hüyük town in the district of Konya/Beysehir. It is surrounded by a breathtaking nature and history. The Village of Endless Gratitude is an area made for artists and culturally active people to live, work, be creative and inspired by nature and history. It is also a meeting point of professional national and international artists. It is a unique project that will make significant contributions to the cultural and economic life of the village, the area and its people. In this way it is a protoype project in Turkey and the world.
The project realization site is close to a new settlement area of cavus community and includes two little lakes around which the adobe houses are built. the village of endless gratitude lays on the foot of two newly named hills. aktepe hill and koru hill. including the hills, lakes and the village of endless gratitude, a new area plan has been established in the framework of the project. within the area, there will be recreation sites, individually designed parks, experimental gardens, adobe houses for settlement, a cultural center and artists studios for working and living culture and arts.
The Village of Endless Gratitude as a district of Culture is first of all, a small village where artists and culturally active people will be living. It is an area that is self-dependent but also integrated in the social and economis life of the community it exists in. Artists and people who have selected cultural issues as their occupation will be living here. Their home will be here. They will not treat their home as some sort of cooperative society or summer house. It will be a distinguished structural unit not only in terms of its architecture but also its function and profile of residents. First of all, it will be quite different as its location is an authentic and untouched spot of Central Anatolia, which has not been a playground for Tourist raids yet. It is also a distinguished preference for its climate and nature.
Best efforts will be made to protect the genuine and primitive characteristics of the area as much as possible. And a model of living that is also integrated with the daily life of the community will be created. It will be designed not merely as a summer recreation site but also as a place the participants will adopt as their own village and meet one another on the new year´s day, feasts, national days, holidays and birthdays.
Onların burada evleri olacaktır. Öncelikle lokasyon olarak, Orta Anadolu'nun turistik taarruzlara maruz kalmamış, özgün ve bakir bir alanı olması münasebetiyle farklı olacaktır. İklimi, doğası itibariyle de farklı bir tercihtir. Mümkün olabildiği kadar bölgenin özgün ve primitif değerlerinin korunması için gayret sarfedilecektir. Ve bu değerler içinde, yöre halkının gündelik hayatıyla da bütünleşen bir yaşam modeli oluşturulacaktır. Sadece yaz aylarının bir dinlenme mekanı değil, aynı zamanda, katılımcıların burayı kendi köyleri olarak benimseyerek, yılbaşında, bayramlarda, milli gün ve tatillerde, doğum günlerinde buluşacakları bir yer olarak tasarlanmıştır.
The village of endless gratitud is a ground that is completely newly built exclusively for art and cultural activities. Considering its status, it has to be seen as a quarter of Cavus village, which as a unit is part of the slightly bigger Hüyük community that belongs to the province of Konya. On this ground, the construction and design of the project takes place taking the historical and sosyal birikim of the village as well as the area into account. The Village of Endless Gratitude in this way is a living, working and activity site for professional national and international artists. It is a project that will be of essential support considering both the cultural and economic life of the area. In this way it is a protoype project in Turkey and perhaps the world.

They also want to transfer their work and activities. Artists want to move out of weary and common places and relationships. So, we are offering them a different alternative that they have long been seeking for. They will be living and working here...Their art and sculpture workshops will take place here. They will shoot films and organize festivals and performances. They will write their books and carry out their researches and studies here. The archeologists will organize introductions and hold activities and make their contributions to archeological studies. Starting from their own houses, the architects and interior designers will create new styles out of the traditions and accessories of the region. In nearly all aspects of art, both workshops and extrovert activities will be organized.
