Since 2000, I have been working professionally in the tourism and hospitality sector, and since we realized that we are happy when we make others happy, Gökhan and I have been developing our own projects. Nowadays, we live with our daughter Güneş, in our colorful garden covered with geraniums and daisies, and with our cat Misha, who has adopted us by making our garden her home.
“Being together” for me...
...means reproducing oneself, existing, developing, the games we played as children, and feeling among friends while walking alone in a neighborhood I love.
CoBAC Team
We believe in being together, in giving back more that what we get. We gathered a group of people ready to help you make to most of your work, your time and your workspace. This the CoBAC Team.

To build a common ground for people of all backgrounds where they will come in contact with each other, physically, emotionally and creatively, just like the way tree branches grow and come together - this was our driving vision as we imagined CoBAC. And for the last 15 years, that is what we've been working on, with passion, compassion, persistance and faith...
For me, "being together" is...
...a cosy shelter on a rainy day, a sail in the middle of vast seas;
it is the art of existing like a forest surrounded by people as free as trees.

Hi, I'm Berke. I was born in Bolu in 1995. After the age of four, I spent most of my life in Istanbul. I don't actually do the profession I studied in. I've loved cooking since I was little; that's why I chose the kitchen as the area where I feel most comfortable and free in my professional life.
I love analyzing and researching topics that are beneficial to me, especially fashion, sports, technology and science. If you say "fun", I can be one of those who enjoy being with my loved ones the most.
"Being together" for me...
...is the totality of clean and beautiful memories that we spend with the people I love, understanding each other and showing mutual respect.

Hello, I am Enescan Tepehan. I work as a chef at CoBAC Casual Kitchen. While I prepare every meal I make with dedication, I approach my job in line with my principles. My most basic principle is that for every meal I prepare, I first ask myself, “If this meal were to come to me, would I want to eat it?” If my answer is positive, I present the meal to the service. In other words, I present the meal I prepare to our members in the same way I would want the plate to come to me.
For me, being together…
...means being a family rather than a team.
