Saya, which means shadow, is chosen from the local dialect of the project’s owner’s hometown. The reason for choosing this name was the effective shadows that were formed on the formal structure of the building due to the sunlight during the day or external lighting at night.
The process of creating the main form of the project was based on the local and cultural studies of Targh Roud village, the client’s birthplace, as well as the family behavior of the project owner. A culture of behavior was formed that is very simple, governed, and limited in relationships outside the family and bold, dynamic, and homogenous within the family.
The process of forming the project is such that the external layer of the project observes a calm and regular relationship with the audience, and the central core of the project induces intimacy, dynamism, and companionship through filing and emptying, as well as soft curves.
The Saya villa project has a powerful and calm exterior and a dynamic and intimate interior rooted in stone, representing originality and effort. A root immersed in color and a free and suspended figure. A formal and very impressive mass that responds to all the functional spaces of architecture.
The layout of the project's functional spaces and internal forms originates from Iranian behavior and culture and the needs of family life, respecting centrality, privacy, and hierarchy, along with a suitable combination of form, texture, and color, along with a respectful look at nature alongside modern life.
