Constructing a gate to a residential complex might be considered a
privilege for an architect, as it allows him to get in touch with the most
intimate side of people’s everyday life. The entrance will warmly receive the
people back home, and bless them before they leave for their daily activities
in the world.
Off course as foreigners, we are not too familiar with customs and
habits of people living in the Mazandaran Province. But even though it might be a debatable
point, we think that to be a non-local person might present certain points of
advantage, as you are not involved with many discussions and sometimes
tensions, that many times strongly influence the decision process when it comes
down to make a building and decide how to develop a territory. This might be
true for Iran as well as for Italy, Great Britain, Russia or any other country
in the world.
We have taken our deep fascination for several gems of Iranian
architecture to a point of re-interpretation, allowing us a great dose of
freedom in doing so. We are concerned not only with beautiful forms of the
Iranian tradition, but with topics like light, scale, decoration and with the
art and crafts tradition of carpets and clothing as well.
All of that has been summarized into a simple and delicate gesture, in
an inverted motion for entering as well as for exiting the site, and
materialized through the use of polished reinforced white concrete columns, and
corrugated corten steel plates. The so
constructed gate, gently placed on a green flower bed, becomes an iconic signal
for the driver passing along the coast road, and part of the deep identity of
the resident of the villa complex.
