This 200-square-meter project is a family holiday villa surrounded by forest and sea located in the Northern part of Iran.
The main goals of the design were to make benefit from this natural situation, to express the local villas in a modern way, and to respect the privacy of private and public spaces.
The water and the light are two archaic and fluid elements, used to reinvent a dark and severe villa on the Geneva lake, turning it into a house with a contemporary appeal. Long corridors, dark doors and window, fake terracotta floors; in the basement, a pool tiled with an obsolete pale blue mosaic, an old sauna, all surrounded by rustic plastered walls: this was the state of the villa before the intervention. To regain an harmonious dialogue with the “genius loci” of the lake, the beginning was the pool: turn it into a kind of added “living room”, as if it was a normal room, like any other but flooded by the water of the lake.
The private villa is located in Rapallo, near ther city of Genoa, facing the Tigullio Gulf. The land around the site is used as olive grove, in fact there are a beautiful trees with variable height between 3 and 4 meters (about 123 plants). Thanks to the excellent exposure (the slope is developed from north to south and overlooking the sea to the west), can be found also the fruit trees, typical of the Ligurian and Mediterranean peasant culture (fig, plum, carob, etc..) and small “clearings” used for horticultural crops. The project wants to recover the entire olive grove, thanks to the creation of a new building and related exterior maintenance. Stone and wood, (wild chestnut), are the traditional materials.
Villa U is a single-family house located in the residential area of Gräfelfing outside Munich.
The floor plan is triangular, with the long side turned away from the street towards the garden and facing directly south. The remaining two sides, including the entrance one, follow the geometry of the plot. The southern, widest façade is cut open towards the spacious garden with swimming pool.
The building is conceived as a solid block, with three large openings and a double height space carved out within the long southern side.
The geographical location of this project is in the city of Basmenj near the city of Tabriz in the province of East Azerbaijan, which is a cold region.
The project was in a very good position visually, which made it possible to have a good view of the inside of the villa to the surrounding area, but because the project was located at a high point, it prevented us from designing all four sides of the villa transparently. In this villa we did not do any excavation to change the height , in fact, we tried to design the villa on the existing site without changing the height codes.
The two geometrically sharp villas create the impression of levitating among the towering pines and birches of a secluded golf course. Their presence is felt, but subtle.
Ivanka Concrete panels, perforated metal and reflective glass combine in façades, which echo the patterns seen in the surrounding landscape. Beneath the exterior is a sturdy reinforced concrete frame.
‘Terramead Villa’, located on the outskirts of the small city of Thiruvananthapuram in the Southern tip of India. Over past 40 years it stood witness to the transformation of its calm village neighborhood to a busy suburban semi residential locality, with the road in front growing from a single lane to four lanes. It’s second-generation owner who had grown up in this house had a qualm of the rooms not growing up with him and the surroundings!
A re-design of the house was initiated, primarily to have more spacious and better lit up rooms.
Araam Villa is tranquilized in Qare khach village context on southern heights of Maku a city in northwestern Iran near the Turkish border that has long been familiar with modern values due to its border proximity and the presence of migrant minorities; Moreover, the climate of this region is different from the plateau of Iran, it is full of water and has green pastures.Materials and geography are everywhere. It is a trivial matter to say that the value of architecture lies in the geography in which it is located; Or to say it is based on steel, concrete and other elements. Architecture is based on wonder and mystery. And it is a story of striving and struggling against the impossible. Inside the house, the dominance of the landscape leads to a wide and sequential connection for the penetration of the surrounding nature, light, sound and air.

Tourist villas “THE TWO” are located in Đuraševići Settlement, in Montenegro, on linearly developed location, surface area of around 1000 m/sq, delineated on one side with the road and on the other with the sea.
In regards to the set context, the buildings are articulated through two scenes, towards the road and the sea, thus forming integral spatial entirety. In addition to multi-functionality, quality connection between the water and the buildings via a deck and cascaded terraces is key strength of this design.
