- Unique Properties
- The design principles of this project are meticulously crafted to create communal spaces for celebrations and gatherings, while also catering to the owner's need for private sanctuaries and privacy. One unique feature of the villa is that the courtyard is situated at the back of the building, separated from the main facade and parking area. This placement ensures that the courtyard and private areas of the villa remain secluded and at the center of the structure. In addition, the desire for a peaceful space away from the main reception and party hall led to the creation of more secluded private spaces and bedrooms on a single floor. These spaces are connected by a deep balcony, allowing for different activities to take place simultaneously, making the villa more energy-efficient during periods of lower occupancy and contributing to reduced energy consumption.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- The area of this villa is 510 square meters and the form of the house is shaped by broken lines and geometric lozenges that contribute to the creation of corners, not only resulting in expansive balconies but also yielding captivating perspectives. These broken lines serve the dual purpose of providing shading in areas exposed to intense sunlight, meeting thermal comfort needs.

This ingenious separation locates the villa's courtyard at the heart of the structure, preserving the privacy of the courtyard and private areas of the building. - Project Duration
- The project is situated in Sorkhaab, Kordan, Karaj and it was completed in 2023.
- Operation Flow
- Addressing the client's crucial need for a serene and tranquil space detached from the main reception and party hall led to the decision of creating more secluded private spaces and bedrooms on a single floor due to building restrictions. A deep balcony was introduced as a connecting point between these spaces. This arrangement enables various activities, such as parties and relaxation, to occur simultaneously, contributing to energy-efficient practices during periods of lower occupancy, thus aiding in reduced energy consumption.
- Research
- The project prioritized a user-centric and lifestyle-driven design. It began with interviews and assessments to understand residents' needs, resulting in a home tailored to their preferences. The design considered factors like size, room count, and environmental elements. An initial plan emphasized room layout and privacy, with green spaces for gatherings. Resident feedback refined the design, and practical construction methods were chosen for the challenging site. Materials like exposed concrete and bricks added visual appeal, creating an intimate ambiance with filtered sunlight in the living area.
- Inspiration
- The villa's shape features broken lines and geometric lozenges that create corners. This design not only allows for expansive balconies but also provides captivating views. The broken lines also serve the purpose of shading areas that receive intense sunlight, ensuring thermal comfort.
