The overarching theme of this project was designing a simple and conventional house on an unconventional plot of land. The aforementioned land was rocky, with a steep slope and narrow width, though it had been terraced beforehand. A road providing vehicular access was located at the lower end of the land, while a more natural path along the mountainside, allowing pedestrian access alongside trees and a stream, was situated at the upper end.
In addition to the site's limitations, there were also opportunities, such as the desirable views of the surrounding natural landscapes, which were, of course, more accessible from the higher terraces of the land.
Considering all these factors, we slightly modified and streamlined the project's planned program to better align with the site's potential and enhance the quality of the primary spaces. In this regard, for instance, the client's requested swimming pool was replaced with a light-filled entrance with a high ceiling, which simultaneously serves as a cozy greenhouse within the house.
Overall, all the interior and exterior spaces of this house were formed by the intersection and interweaving of two volumes with distinct languages: a solid volume with a neutral color and regular geometry, and a more dynamic volume with warmer materials and irregular geometry. The former encompasses the more public spaces with minimal internal partitioning, while the latter houses the more private spaces, which are separated, and the shape and height of the ceilings vary within these spaces. The more dynamic volume, clad in brick from the outside, flows from above into the more static, concrete volume, passing through it to reach the lower level.
Among other provisions considered in this villa is a spacious terrace adjacent to the bedrooms, offering open views of the surroundings. A smaller terrace also serves as the landing point for a staircase that provides access to the house from the upper part of the land. Furthermore, a parcel of land was later added to the existing width, providing residents with more open spaces. The level difference between the two upper terraces in this section was also designed to create a continuous, green, sloping wall between the garden beds.
