suddenly there was a sound in the garden/a sound that bore resemblance to nothing/as if a perfume was looking at itself in the mirror/always through an invisible opening/this sound was released in the darkness of my life/did my life have another atmosphere before?
Theoretical Foundations of the Plan:
The formation of a weekend residence (villa) in the suburbs is because of development complications of metropolitan Tehran, and in its own way has caused the “Rudbar-e Qasran” region to be chosen as a developing area.
Due to the economic constraints for land supply and the annual cost of operation, this project is considered by the employer in the form of independent residential apartments. The main idea of the project is based on creating private villas with independent yards and heightened green spaces, which while meeting the functionality of the project, can provide maximum communication with the surrounding nature both visually and in terms of providing green space. The main model is based on the interpretation of traditional housing concepts and emphasis on the role and function of the yard as a connecting joint, and also provides the view and light of the interior space with respect to the commanding view.
Site Characteristics
1. Paying attention to the project context and maximum use of natural elements related to it (mountain, river and green space)
2. Adjusting project spaces for maximum compliance with climatic factors, natural ventilation and light radiation control
3. Observance of the upper plan criteria in terms of height and allowable occupancy level
4. Predicting the development of project phasing and how the project mass is produced
5. Paying attention to the role and functionality of space as a suburban domicile (second home)
Architectural Characteristics
1. Emphasis on creating a continuous spatial relationship between open and closed spaces (space porosity – duality of mass/void)
2. Utilizing the traditional Iranian housing model to observe the spatial hierarchy from public to private areas
3. Creating private yards at height in order to interpret the concept of open space (yard)
4. Providing visual corridors through semi-open space to the surrounding natural environment
5. Providing heightened green space for the function of a temporary residence (private villa)
6. Observe the view of the yard in each residential unit
7. Using intelligent systems for energy saving (sustainability)
