design process

This villa project was located on a land near the city of Bandar Anzali. Which is not so big that we can comfortably and quietly put all the required spaces in there, and not so small that we are convinced to remove something...

Living room, TV room, a living room on the upper floor, dining room, two kitchens, a master room, two large rooms, a covered balcony... all had to be placed in less than two hundred meters. Therefore, in the design process, some spaces were merged together: the kitchen and the corridor and the stairs.

In this land, there were some old trees that we did not want to cut. And for this reason, we made the orientation and the shape of the building subject to those trees.

The concept of the project was formed based on the contrast between the semi-public space (living room, etc.) and the semi-private ones (rooms, etc.). Each of these two components took a different form and shape. One with its sloping roof evoked the routine form of a house.like those ones that we all used to paint a generic house as children. sloping huts that are placed next to each other and on top of each other.

But for the semi-public space, we used a material similar to the walls of old Iranian buildings and colored glass. It was a symbolic reflection of Iranian houses, houses that once existed everywhere in Iran.

Finally, the integration of the symbolic form of the sloping house (northern Iran) and the traditional Iranian house form (with colored glass) formed the foundation of the project.
