Ordibehesht House, Hooman Zandi

This project boasts unparalleled potential due to its proximity to Madi Farshadi and the lush greenery that surrounds it. Its location at the intersection of Madi and Ordibehesht streets has allowed for the creation of a three-dimensional facade design.

The volumetric concept of the design was conceived to seamlessly blend with the surrounding environment and the existing natural forms. Instead of generating various shapes and volumes on the facade, we opted to create a central rift, acting as a unifying element connecting the building’s three sides with nature. This rift was strategically positioned in alignment with Madi Street and the verdant axis of Ordibehesht. Beyond offering picturesque views for the residents, the rift also facilitates changing perspectives for pedestrians as they move around the building.

The arrangement of openings and their dimensions were meticulously designed based on desired urban vistas and the reflection of the mature trees enveloping the project. Brick was selected as the primary material for the entire project and its facade, a deliberate choice made to harmonize with the project’s context.

The brick walls encompassing the structure, instead of segregating it, serve as a connecting bridge between the interior and exterior spaces. This design approach creates an impression that the interior of the house isn’t confined to its inner boundaries but rather elegantly melds with the trees that form canopies for the windows. The utilization of movable brick louvers not only maintains simplicity and unity in the facade but also ensures the desired level of illumination and privacy for the residents.

In conclusion, a simple, tranquil, and intimate brick house has been conceived, in perfect synchronization with its natural surroundings.
