This 1400 m2 high-end freestanding villa in Tehran is built against a mountainside, with a garden that is raised 17 meters above street level. The facade is cladded with natural travertine stone: a famous high quality local product collected from the Iranian mountains. The wish of the owners to park their cars underground, resulted in a 20 meter long tunnel below the garden, leading towards the parking underneath the villa.
In this project, we tried to minimize the light which enters to the environment; because the presence of light in this space cause disturbing in examination.
Six levels are designed in this project. The floor plan consists of some spaces such as reception, drugstore, glasses store and guarding and all other doctors and optometrists rooms are designed in top levels.
About the form of this building, an attempt has been made to respect other buildings by using a cube shape, but to create a small distinction, the corners are rounded.
Among all the spaces around man, the most effective one is ‘HOME’ where one can experience a sense of belonging and gets used to it.
The architecture of today’s houses, is just defined and limited among the boundaries used as sleeping spaces, and not a delightful atmosphere, thus this causes some people to lose vitality and dynamism. Meanwhile, by looking at the past, we would find out that with the presence of nature in combination with the houses, life was way different from today.
The theoretical foundation of the LEMAN residential complex
Among all the spaces around man, the most effective one is ‘HOME’.
This House is located in a small town near Tehran, the capital of Iran. The client had to make a decision between selling his land so they could migrate to the capital and building a permanent house; a home where the family could experience a different way of life, in addition to providing tranquility.
The main goal in the design process was to create a differentiating connection between this house and its neighbors; in other words, how it is perceived in the neighborhood and how it contributes to the urban image. This house was designed on the border of separation and connection with its surrounding environment, “what can be seen and how are we observed?”
The Project is located in Mosha, Damavand, 60 Km from Tehran at 2400 meters altitude and we have very strong winter.
The land area is about 600 m2 with dimensions of 30 x 20 meters and a slope of 20%. According to the following expression we confronted with such a difficult circumstance and trying to do our best to get the advantage of available spaces and land in order to meet the client demands. Due to this description, we decided to divide the land in 3 parts: the biggest one located in the north of the land for locate the building in where there is the relevant road. The second part is used for the outdoor entertainment activities and the third part will be the green area of the lot.
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.
This apartment complex is located in the city of Ramsar where the low distance between the Caspian Sea to the north, and the Alborz forest mountains to the south has created a pleasant natural environment and beauty. The principal goals of the project were to make good use of the environmental assets by respecting the context and limiting environmental harm, enhancing human comfort by providing favorable natural light and view, and an integral hierarchy of privacy.
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.
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.
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.
