The Design
About Jaqalan 빌라
터키어로 '친구들'을 뜻하는 Jaqalan은 이스탄불 제케리야쾨이의 푸르른 자연 속에 자리한, 건축적으로 하나로 통일된 두 채의 빌라로 구성된다. 지면까지 이어져 내려오는 인상적인 경사 지붕이 특징인 이 디자인은 이 지역의 많은 강우량에 대응하는 동시에 강렬한 시각적 정체성을 만들어낸다. 넓은 테라스와 바닥부터 천장까지 이어지는 창은 실내외의 긴밀한 연결을 이끌어낸다. 태양광 패널과 에너지 효율적인 소재를 적용한 Jaqalan은 지속 가능한 삶의 방식을 구현하며, 미니멀리즘과 맥락적 조화를 통해 현대 주거 건축을 새롭게 정의한다.

- Production Technology
- The Jaqalan villas utilize reinforced concrete and steel for structural integrity. Advanced techniques, including modular construction, enhance efficiency and minimize waste. 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
- This design research focused on sustainable architecture's impact on residential living. The objective was to create a harmonious environment that integrates with nature. 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.
