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.
