Article source: nextoffice The spatial structure of this project is based on how to combine an umbrella-like roof towering over a pool resembling a bowl. These two elements look roughly alike in plan as well as section.  Image Courtesy © Majid Jahangiri

On the lower floor, a terrace bearing resemblance to a deck can be found which provides the residents with an open area.

The ground floor features the main apartment, a bedroom, and an additional separate apartment, and the first floor includes the living room, a swimming pool (suiting two seasons), and a gym.

It is worth noting that the ground floor as well is separately connected to the open-air space.
