Hamsou House is a residential project that reimagines the relationship between architecture, memory, and generational coexistence. The concept of “historic” in this context refers not only to the physical endurance of the building but also to the cultural resilience of its inhabitants. The house becomes a mediator bridging the lived experience of its residents with the urban fabric of the city .The project addresses a core architectural challenge: how to accommodate two contrasting generational ideologies within a shared domestic space. The older generation seeks to reinforce ideological boundaries, while the younger generation aims to dissolve or soften them. Rather than erasing these boundaries, the design proposes a strategic displacement shifting them from interior divisions to the outer membrane of the building.Inspired by the spatial logic of Yazd’s pedestrian alleys, the house introduces intermediary zones between private living areas. These transitional spaces scaled to human proportions reduce the thickness between built mass and circulation, favoring openness and adaptability for future generations. The boundary between generations is no longer internal but redefined at the urban edge of the site.The building’s orientation reflects this duality:Outward-facing and introverted, it resonates with the cultural memory of the city.Inward-facing and extroverted, it aligns with the aspirations of the future generation.Instead of rigid partitions, the project emphasizes interaction over separation, allowing architecture to become a platform for freedom and shared legacy. The name Hamsou meaning “aligned” captures this genetic duality: from within, attuned to future consciousness; from without, rooted in cultural heritage. Freedom, in this sense, emerges as the reward of reconciling these two forces.
