The open villa wants to be invisible, to sit quietly, an actor is at the service of the script, if our film is the formation and development of the texture. Bell responds in explosive pieces. It embraces the earth with open arms and divides it evenly between its components. The open house offers a new platform based on old Iranian architectural archetypes such as the central courtyard, porch, etc. A platform that keeps functions fluid to adapt to space. Through winding paths from beginning to end, he wants to tell a story, take the audience to the depths of space and give him a spectacular tour. The form of an open house in the purest possible form is minimal, economical, and economical and without jelly cocoons. The open house is open to everyone.

The archetype of the villa is formed from houses outside the city and in the middle of nature, which in European examples of this building have four views facing the trees and the surrounding nature. But in this project, considering the time dimension (2021) and the place dimension (Iran), we try to redefine the archetype of the villa. Villas have always been an architectural space surrounded by nature and trees, and its inhabitants have always looked around. But this time we want to break the pattern of the past and allow the architectural space to include natural elements and trees and let the residents of the villa look inside. Today, villas disrupt the visual beauty of gardens by breaking the skyline of trees. By changing the design process of the villas from vertical to horizontal, we can continue the skyline of the trees and maintain the visual beauty of the garden.
