Mazandaran Province, Iran

5000 sqft - 10,000 sqft
In northern Iran it is a common building tradition to raise the ground floors up to even 2 meters above the ground, by use of sleeper walls in order to prevent moist from penetrating the house. A main concept in designing Arghavan villa was to modernize this tradition by eliminating the masonry mass from this sleeper wall and altering it to an empty living space: semi open and relaxing.
While spaces for gathering and partying are placed on the ground floor, where the sleeper wall is usually supposed to be, the more private areas are stacked on the top, having a less transparent envelope, enjoying controlled views to the outside.
Although the ground floor is in first place for gatherings and public occasions, it is designed to offer a tranquil living area for more private times. The pool extending from inside to the out, a poolside for sunbathing, and a terrace on the upper floor that provides a shelter on the top of the poolside, all work together to make the freed ground floor a cozy place for lonely times as well as a functionable area for gatherings. Using peripheral terraces, especially on the southern façade as parts of a home’s circulation, and providing accesses to the rooms through these terraces, is again a pattern traditionally used in these areas of the country. The concept is elevated by applying contemporary materials and construction techniques.
All rooms and areas of the villa are accessible from different areas of the site, making the relation between inside and outside as penetrable and fluid as possible.
