Designing a villa is a great opportunity for each architect to explore personal ideologies in architecture. In this project the investigations included combination of dual qualities such as: structure and the façade, private and public spaces, as well as open and closed spaces.
This villa was part of a bigger project consisting of four villas in Lavasan, Iran. Therefore, it was decided to follow a singular strategy for all four villas, which was to use the “Three squares and four spaces” geometry.
Four volumetric spaces were defined as the main structure and space organizer. These four volumes were shifted over each other to maximize view and integration with greenspaces. These volumes form the public spaces of the villa. In addition to the main volumes, there are some cubical boxes floating inside the spaces, defining the private spaces of the house.
The main volumes include openings on the surface to create connection to the exterior greenspaces. This villa was designed on three levels, basement, ground floor, as well as first floor. Different levels of the building were organized to have maximum connection to each other. On the basement level, there is an in-ground garden with a water pool with visual connection to the interior space of the house. Moreover, at the ground and first floors, there is a volumetric connection between the public, the private, and the landscape of the project. Here the organization of the interior and the exterior was established by the surface openings and the created spaces in between the volumes.
