Story:

Text provided by the architects:

In the Northern part of the Alborz chain Mountain,the site is located in a point, where a steep slope on its south side, suddenly changes to a gentle slope on its north. Moreover, the site benefits from views of both Forest Mountain and Caspian Sea on its South and North directions, respectively. In appreciation of the outstanding location, the building is intended to have a homogeneous dialogue with its surrounding context. Villa’s form derives from stories of big stone pieces, which fall apart from the upper sides of the mountain repeatedly and roll into the skirts. Also,the Villa is covered with stain steel panels,so when it experiences corrosion due to weathering,it could dramatically express itself in harmony with the nature.
