About Two Arches 别墅

双拱是一座位于伊朗达马万德静谧环境中的别墅。设计以现代视角呈现伊朗建筑的本源。传统营造原则与空间层级引导着平面布局，为居住者营造私密性与舒适感。受伊朗园林启发，一条水渠构成了场地的主轴线。两道拱券之间的白色墙面将公共空间与私密空间相分隔。在二层，一座桥以走廊的形式连接起这两个区域。建筑面积为200平方米，将混凝土与金属结构同砖砌饰面相结合。

Behind the Design

Press Kit

Unique Properties: Two arches villa is located in a calming environment in Damavand, Iran.
The design process of this villa tries to reflect the origins of Iranian architecture from a modern point of view.
All the principles and spatial hierarchy are considered in the plan design of this building to provide privacy and comfort for its inhabitants.
Dimensions & Packaging: Area of the building: 200 square meters
Tags: Arches, Iranian gardens, trees, bricks, waterway
Production Technology: This building is a combination of concrete and metal with brick cladding. The columns and the floor of the building are made of metal structure.
Rounded arches are generally made of compact brick and plaster and mortar. But in this building we decided to use concrete to shape the arches and then we placed that on a top of metal structure and at the final stage we used bricks as a finishing for the exterior and exterior walls.
Design Challenge: The small dimensions of the site was a challenge that leads us toward a minimal and formal volumetric design.
Research: In the projects that have been carried out in the recent years, AAD Architecture Office has tried to create a high quality living space by considering the potential of the site. This Project is located in a summer area and considering the rich and traditional background of the region, we finally reached this spatial quality and volume.
Inspiration: Inspired by Iranian gardens, we positioned a waterway as a main axis of the site. As well as that, we used a white plane as a form between two arches to divide public and private spaces. In order to make a connection between these areas in first floor, we used a bridge to work as a corridor.
By positioning all the windows toward the main courtyard and the street, we tried to reflect the concept of extroversion and introversion of Iranian architecture in this building.
Project Duration: Location: Damavand, Iran
Design Year: 2020
Operation Flow: Two Arches villa is preparing for implementation so its structure and technology is not completed yet. However, in terms of material, we decided to design this building based on the concrete and metal structure and in order to reflect our initial concept, we
used bricks to cover the walls at the final stage.
