A mountainous environment with views overlooking the Caspian Sea defined the site context for the design of residential units in the natural landscape of Ramsar. Following necessary evaluations, a vision emerged of what was required to address the project's various needs.
A village reminiscent of small northern villages, yet with a fresh approach, that could provide a suitable platform for the manifestation of the overarching concept governing a complex of which our site was a part, aimed at serving the complex's users during their stay.
Everything that exists and occurs within the complex reflects objectives such as achieving tranquility in nature, healthy living, and unique adventures, all within an environment removed from the daily hustle and bustle of cities, offering a novel lifestyle to its residents.
To cater to the potential desires of the resident users, the units were designed based on three types: small, medium, and large. These three distinct types, while possessing unique characteristics, share a common family resemblance. Consequently, the design focused on typifying certain formative elements to achieve formal and spatial unity among the three types of units, despite their inevitable differences, while also streamlining the construction process for speed, precision, and ease.
The site is located in a small village called Kalak, characterized by its sloping terrain, elevated position, and exceptional views of Ramsar city and the Caspian Sea.
Thus, the arrangement and placement of the units, which numbered 12 as requested (2 large, 6 medium, and 4 small), became a critical consideration.
Ultimately, by simultaneously addressing climatic factors, the units were arranged to ensure each had a suitable view without obstructing another.
The shaping of the volume and space of each type was also carried out based on consideration of climatic issues (slanted rain and the need for air flow, etc.), the composition of local indigenous houses, suitable views, available materials, and the placement of each of the 12 units. Thus, in order to occupy less ground space, prevent excessive density, and provide a more diverse and higher quality view, it was decided to design each unit with a mezzanine. This allowed for the placement of a terrace at a higher elevation. Furthermore, maintaining a connection with the nature outside the residential spaces was another factor involved in the unit designs.
Consequently, the sloping roof, extending beyond the main façade, became a significant formative element, and covering the northwest-facing building facades with these roofs will protect them from the damaging effects of slanting rain.
