from the very beginning of the design process of this project, we faced two challange; The first issue was the contradiction between the existential philosophy of the villa and the approach to residency in lawful villa towns located in the Tehran Dasht-e Kordan region; laws that led to the blurring of the boundaries of the independence of the villas in relation to each other which due to the observance of privacy, forced us to build it on one floor. the next issue was the ambiguity in the situation of the future residents of the villa, of whom no trace was seen today, due to the fact that the project was customized by the client for sale and not for housing. but the important question for us was how to meet the needs of future residents? and can the level of client expectations be the right benchmark for design?
The sense of suspense, or being free was a response to this contradiction and ambiguity. so we decided that in relation to the mass-context, the building move up from the ground and appear suspended to be a metaphor for the sense of abandonment from the routines of urban life. the presence of sequences in the middle of the plan, which bring the inner, outer and sky space together in a frame like an articulation, is an emphasis on recalling this sense. this is not a combination of volumes, but the modest placement of a small courtyard in the middle of the villa. in designing this project, an attempt was made to redefine the traditional relationship between mass-space, and this relationship from the confrontational state (mass vs space) to the interactive state (flowing and fluid) with the focus on the main building of the villa in the middle as the middle space. the emphasis is neither on the inside nor on the outside, but somehow looks both inside and out; in such a way that mass and space are floating together and are not separable in any way, and this buoyancy is injected into the environment in addition to architectural elements; so that part of the pool is part of the building or all the openings in the four sides of the villa are in a line and connected with the mass. the villa that takes things to the middle, stays there and remembers.
The design of this villa not only did not completely answer our questions, but also raised more questions for us; Some of them were answered, some of them disappeared forever, and we did not reach a definite and clear result in answering some questions at this time.
