About Jaqalan 别墅
Jaqalan（在土耳其语中意为“朋友们”）由两栋建筑语汇统一的别墅组成，坐落于伊斯坦布尔泽凯里亚柯伊郁郁葱葱的自然景观之中。设计以极具视觉冲击力的坡屋顶为特征，屋面一直延伸至地面，既应对了该地区丰沛的降雨，又塑造出鲜明的视觉识别性。开阔的露台与通高落地窗营造出室内外的紧密联系。通过太阳能光伏板与节能材料的运用，Jaqalan诠释了可持续的居住方式，以极简主义与在地环境的和谐共生重新定义了当代住宅建筑。

Sustainable materials like concrete and metal are used, along with solar panels for energy efficiency. Ample open and closed spaces promote social interaction and connect residents with nature, setting a new standard for contemporary residential architecture.

- 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.
