Theoretical Foundations
A home is more than just a structure; it's a universal concept that resonates in the collective memory of people worldwide. The architect of this project has emphasized this, aiming to weave threads of childhood memories into the fabric of the future. Thus, a home's unique identity is derived not from specific individuals, but from the collective consciousness, giving the form of the home a symbolic significance. This shared understanding of the home's form equalizes humans in the act of living. The Ashian project is a delicate balance between invoking past memories and creating a fluid architectural space that sees the family's intimacy in the openness of its spaces. Imagine large, coherent spaces with a powerful singularity, sloping roof surfaces, and open landscape areas with glass surfaces, all facing the outdoor landscape. This creates a modernist narrative for fluid, continuous spaces and open connections that reduce the objectification of architectural form in the interior space. This home invites family members to come together and appreciate the surrounding nature. Despite the transparency of the main walls, they carry a unique solidity and introspective quality. This project straddles the line between the architect's design concerns and the client's taste, reaching a harmonious agreement on the final product.

Brief Description of the Structure of Ashian Villa:
The design ideas for the building volume included a minimum opening and louvered window coverage in the northern facade to maintain privacy, a maximum transparent wall towards the southern view, a low occupancy level, a higher height, a specific and comprehensible volume, a white color, and a volumetric combination with diverse perspective views.
One of our challenges was the 45-degree angle between the street passage in the north and the north-south axis of the land. This angle, considering the width of the passage, limited the rotation for car entry and weakened the building entrance. To solve this problem, we designed a pre-entry parallel to the length of the passage and hidden angles in less important spaces. This not only facilitated easier traffic and an imperceptible rotation of users in space but also created a suitable perspective view of the building volume from the passage.
Given the 13-meter level difference between the north and south sides of the site, we divided the project site into different levels with low heights. Each level was given a different texture, color, and function, stimulating the audience's senses and creating a variety of spatial experiences. This also facilitated the tolerance of existing level differences and user access to the south of the site.
On the east and west sides, we had to consider the neighbors' privacy, city regulations, and the impact of the harsh western light and wind, so we defined minimal openings.
We also have a spring water entrance on the site's northern side, which we needed to preserve and direct. To address this, we installed a reservoir on the northern side that filters and stores the incoming water, then uses mechanical facilities to transfer it to the fountain.
