The Design
About Jaqalan Villa
Ang Jaqalan, nga nagpasabot og mga higala sa Turkish, naglangkob sa duha ka arkitekturalmente nahiusa nga mga villa sa lunhaw nga talan-awon sa Zekeriyakoy, Istanbul. Giila pinaagi sa talagsaon nga kilo nga mga atop nga mokanaog ngadto sa yuta, ang disenyo nagtubag sa kusog nga pag-ulan sa rehiyon samtang naghimo og lig-on nga biswal nga identidad. Ang halapad nga mga terasa ug mga bintana gikan sa salog ngadto sa kisame nagpalambo sa lig-on nga koneksyon sa sulod ug gawas. Uban sa mga solar panel ug mga materyales nga episyente sa enerhiya, ang Jaqalan nagpakita sa malungtarong pagkinabuhi, nga nag-usab sa kahulogan sa kontemporaryo nga arkitektura sa pinuy-anan pinaagi sa minimalismo ug kontekswal nga harmoniya.

Sloped roofs facilitate rainwater drainage and house solar panels, while large glass facades maximize natural light and views, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor experience.
- Design Challenge
- A key challenge in the Jaqalan project was balancing innovative design with local regulatory constraints. Building codes limited design flexibility and material choices. Achieving sustainability required extensive research into ecofriendly materials and technologies. Collaborating with local authorities ensured compliance while maintaining a modern aesthetic that resonates with the landscape.
- Research

Qualitative methods included site analyses, resident interviews, and lifestyle surveys. Insights revealed a need for open spaces fostering social interaction, aiming to influence future architectural practices for community well-being and sustainability.
- Inspiration
- Inspiration for Jaqalan comes from the lush greenery and hills of Zekeriyakoy. The design emphasizes harmony with nature while embracing modern aesthetics. Research into sustainable practices guided the choice of eco-friendly materials and solutions like sloped roofs for rainwater management, aiming to redefine contemporary living in a serene and functional environment.
- Project Duration
- Design work commenced in April 2022 in Tehran, Iran, with construction starting in summer 2023 and nearing completion now. The project located in Zekeriyakoy, Instanbul, Turkey. The villas are located in a luxury residential area, leveraging the natural landscape for optimal integration.
- Operation Flow
- The Jaqalan villas encourage interaction through open floor plans, connecting indoor and outdoor spaces. Large terraces and balconies facilitate social gatherings, while strategically placed windows frame views and enhance ventilation. The sloped roofs create dynamic interior spaces with high ceilings, promoting openness and comfort throughout the villas.
