Nila villa project was commissioned to our office while Shahin Khazar town (project design site) had strict rules and restrictions for design. However, due to the request of the employer to remove very large terraces facing the sea and various small spaces, the work of designing and solving the project problem was doubly difficult according to the criteria of the town. The project land has two-way access from the north with a view to the sea and the south as the entrance to the site. One of the issues that had to be considered in the design of the plan was the location of the spaces according to the mentioned access, climate and landscapes, which caused conflict in some parts. Since the total area of the project should be 350 square meters in 3 ceilings, the division of areas into floors according to the wishes of the employer was another issue of this project. In this project, by creating spaces integrated with pure and rectangular geometry, we expressed the needs in simple language in the design, and by creating a very large wedge, we were able to place the floors in different positions, which ultimately led to a dynamic volume with full and empty spaces and openings. Wide to the north and south to create very good ventilation and views of the sea, as well as large courtyards on the floors, all of which face the sea, and these courtyards are connected by exposed stairs. In this project, due to the fact that the plans were placed in different positions on the floors, vertical access was not possible with a single staircase. The only vertical access is the elevator, which on one floor has created a bridge in Wade due to the movement of spaces, which is one of the internal charms of the project. From the outside, the volume with a simple and understandable language for everyone is the winner of this building. Also, the creation of skylights at three different points with three different uses has prevented the creation of a peaceful and violent volume, both from outside and inside from the viewer’s point of view. And as soon as we were sure, especially on the western front, by creating dense green space, we prevented the creation of uninhabitable space in the hours of the day, and at the same time, we turned this threat into an opportunity to create a new landscape.
