About Chahar Gah Villa

Ny Chahar Gah any Iran dia miorina eo amin'ny faritra eo amin'ny morontsiraka andrefan'ny Ranomasina Caspienne, ao amin'ny tanàna antsoina hoe Anzali. Toerana fonenana izay manandrana hanasa ny tontolo manodidina hiditra ao anatiny amin'ny fomba madio sy hifandray amim-pahendrena. Nanandrana namaha ny sisintany hita maso eo anelanelan'ny atiny sy ny ivelany ity trano ity, ary mifandray amin'ny fiovan'ny vanim-potoana sy mampifanaraka azy, sady mampiasa ny fizotran'ny fifandefasan'ny rivotra voajanahary ho fandiovana ny rivotra. Miaraka amin'izany, manana traikefa vaovao momba ny mangarahara sy drafitra malalaka ny mponina ao, izay manana fiainana manokana sy toerana mahafinaritra miaraka amin'izany mba hahatsapana tsara kokoa ny fiovan'ny vanim-potoana.

This twisting of the roof also prevents air twists. The design of the building is transparent and layered. Sloping outer covering that covers the interior space and interior spaces that are suspended in separate boxes around the hallway and living space. Efforts have been made to create empty spaces at the common border between inside and outside the building; intermediate space to create visual boundaries, the play of light and shadow in the interior.
Design Challenge: Designing a building with contemporary architecture while responding to traditional and climate issues and energy sustainability and at the same time making the most of the surrounding landscape has been one of the most important challenges of the work. Having simultaneous response for fresh air and optimizing energy consumption, transparency and privacy, creating spaces for social interactions and personal space, interacting with nature with a biophilic approach, and shaping the form according to the prevailing winds of the mountains and the Caspian Sea The most important challenges that answered in this design.
Research: The main studies on the climate and indigenous architecture of the region have been done in a library and field, and along with it, the ways that have the best results in terms of sustainability and optimization of energy consumption have been studied. The final result was the sum of studies with statistical data and output graphs of energy software. This region has a temperate climate and is influenced by the Caspian Sea and the Alborz Mountains and has a lot of rainfall. As a result, natural ventilation and rain control are one of the most important issues in this climate.
Inspiration: The traditional architecture of the region is extroverted; Nature embraces architecture and due to the beautiful scenery around and the beach in front of the site, the main idea of the building was formed with suspended spaces with maximum view and transparency; Suspended spaces can help maximize the view and excitement of the space. The outer shell is inspired by the traditional roofs of the area, which, like them, are built on the main spaces. with its wide openings, we can watch nature.
Project Duration: The building was designed in March 2019 in Tehran/Iran and the construction works are starting in February 2021 in Anzali/Gilan/Iran.
Operation Flow: A building that tries to frame the surroundings with large insulated windows in a neat way and its inhabitants communicate well with nature, and this improves light and heat control, and a large amount of ventilation is controlled and performed naturally.
The arrangement of cubic volumes inside the outer volume so that they differ in height creates diversity in the space organization;
At the same time, these boxes preserve the privacy and independence of its inhabitants, and it is possible to be inside or on them, and by placing the space of family activities and services in the open middle space, it focuses on human sociality.
