The main design challenge in this project was to create two independent residential units within a unified architectural structure. This required not only coherent spatial organization, but also a strategy to enhance both the sense of belonging and individual identity within a shared environment.
The site, limited in dimensions, posed constraints that made maximizing natural light and effective ventilation a core concern. In response, one of the key design strategies was the use of a decentralized courtyard as an organizing element. This inner courtyard redistributes light and airflow, significantly improving the spatial quality of the interior. Moreover, as an in-between space, it meaningfully defines the threshold between inside and outside.
The design methodology was rooted in the interplay between context, function, and spatial experience. This approach draws on the vernacular architecture of northern Iran, while reinterpreting its principles through a contemporary lens. The roof, one of the project’s central architectural elements, is reimagined not merely as a functional component, but as a perceptual one at the human scale. Its transformation in form and materiality—using wood as a warm, organic material—fosters a sense of spatial continuity and cohesion, adding a sensory and narrative dimension to the architecture.
Two Brothers Villa strikes a dynamic balance between tradition and modernity, autonomy and connection, form and function. With deep respect for its context, the project transforms a conventional housing model into a field of lived experience.
