The Sefid Villa is located in a pristine area in Jaban village. There is no serious construction that has taken place for hundreds of meters around it. The whole site of the villa was full of fruit trees and our goal in designing this villa was to maintain the view of the landscapes and keep the connection between the building and its underlying nature. Practically, this building was the beginning of man-made changes in its area. The minimalist design led to the selection of a simple shape with a uniform white material. Large windows in all facets of the villa were built to invite as much light into the interior as possible. Furthermore, energy-saving is equally essential to this project, and to achieve it, west walls were insulated with suitable thermal insulation. The villa is designed on two residential floors and a roof garden to maintain the composition of the site and not to interrupt the green spaces on the location. On the main floor, there is a living room and a kitchen designed on two different levels. An indoor spa pool is also located on the main floor. To avoid blind space in the building, the stairs are designed in an exposed form with a combination of metal and wood materials. The void on top of the living room is also designed to bring more light to this floor and create a junction between the living and dining areas.
On the first floor, there are three bedrooms with independent bathrooms, a small living area and a terrace overlooking the adjacent garden.
In the roof garden, a combination of wood, metal and glass has been used. This area has a small kitchen with a semi-indoor pavilion. To cover this area, we used glass railings towards the adjacent gardens and wooden railings towards a relatively limited view of the road and the neighbouring alley. These elements are designed and arranged in a way to provide a pleasant and in case, a private environment for the residents.
The land space of the villa is small, but it has a suitable spatial separation. There is an integrated garden in front of the living room, next to a parking space and a suitable opening in front of the pool window for the exterior layout that has led to the optimal use of the area.
