I join the previous reviews. We approached the closed area, the guard was shown the building on a map on his phone, he asked with a smile "Is Serkan Bolat?" we nodded laughing. He took his passport, rewrote the data and showed where to go. It's beautiful there, the pond, the benches, the lawn, the flowers, the trees, everything is well maintained. We've taken plenty of photos on this pond. Then we went to the Art Life door, guys, don't go very close to the door, 3-4 meters away from it, it has a sensor and as soon as you get close to the door, it breaks off and the secretary runs towards you shouting "mani mani". We managed to take a picture before the door opened))), but it flew out with the words in English, the meaning is "near the door, the photo is $ 20 per person, inside it is $ 50 per person. But fuck it, we turned on "my don't understand you" and started talking to her in Russian and saying that we don't understand anything, we said "okay bye bye", she also said goodbye and we went on to take pictures by the pond))) It's free. It was fun.👍
We passed through the security checkpoint calmly. We met a local Turk who helped us through, but we had to pay to get inside. The price seemed expensive to us, so we decided not to enter. But the outside is also incredibly beautiful – we took cool photos and enjoyed the atmosphere!
The female guards at the entrance were allowed in without any problems at all. They just asked us "Is Serkan Ill?", we laughed, I answered "yes", took my passport to look at it, recorded it and let me into the territory. They even showed us exactly where to go so that we wouldn't get lost in the territory))
Well, they let us out without any problems, wished us a good day and we left👍🏼

I think it's no secret that the filming of the popular Turkish TV series "Knock on My Door" took place in this office.
Of course, when we arrived in Istanbul, we also wanted to visit this location and photograph the famous door of the Serkan architectural bureau)
The area is very beautiful, modern architecture, good security system.
The disappointment was the greed of the employees of this architectural bureau. As soon as we approached the cherished door, a girl runs out of the office and informs us that the cost of a photo with the door is 600 lira (to stand outside), and the entrance to the office is 50 $ per person. We were a little taken aback, and when this woman went to get some cat food, we just turned around and left. 🙂
Many do not get there or are not allowed in, a blonde woman works at the entrance and charges $ 50 per person for admission (you can bargain and go for $ 30 per child) many do not go there because there is a private territory and what people write about chocolates, it seems to me it is not true, they do not even let you in for money. We were advised to take a taxi there and everything is OK, we stopped by, took a photo. It is very difficult to enter the territory.
I was there a month ago, entered the territory through security without any problems. I gave the blonde girl $ 50 for entering the office. I took about 50 photos there.
If you really ask, they will let you in. I communicated with the guard through an interpreter and tearfully begged. They agreed under pressure! Thank them very much😍
They wouldn't let us in for a chocolate bar either. But we decided to do it like the girl from the previous review. We got in the car to the Turk who lives there and he drove us. But the guard wouldn't even let us in, which is strange. So I strongly advise you not to plan a trip here if you have a long way to go. Since the probability of getting in is small(
At first they were not allowed in, the guard said the entrance was strictly prohibited. But we agreed with a local girl and she drove us.
I received incredible emotions, I am very happy that I saw one of the locations of the series "Knock on my door".
They were not allowed inside, only for company employees.
