The design of Villa Sab-Dar (Apple Garden) began with a fundamental question: the relationship between architectural form and its surrounding context. Following a study of the Jaban region (located in the southeastern foothills of the Alborz Mountains, in the southern part of Zarrin Kooh), the design concept emerged from a geographical paradox-drawing the views of the northern mountains and the southern orchards into the spatial center.
Two transparent and semi-open cubes were stacked in opposite directions, so that the relationship between interior and exterior is defined through transparent facades and hollow frames. The design favors simplicity and avoids complexity in the form of these cubes. The interior spaces are organized around a central void, aligning with the essential nature of a villa, emphasizing extroversion appropriate to the regional climate and incorporating a range of public spaces into the program.
In Villa Sab-Dar, greenery flows from the exterior into the interior through the open hollow frames facing the garden, creating a continuous experience.
