Ayenevarzan House is the permanent residence of a young couple with a particular cultural and artistic background that differs from the social context of the neighborhood in which the project is located.

Initially, this cultural difference and client’s desires and expectations propelled the project to an introverted design; a design that does not consider a building as a separate entity. The project revolves around taking maximum advantage of sunlight and scenic views of Alborz Mountains, as well as all other potentials that attract us from urban life to rural environments.
