A one hour drive from Iran’s capital, Tehran, towards the west, Villa No. 1090 sits on a 1200 square meter, relatively flat, rectangular shape site in the Kordan region. In a country with a cultural shift towards modernization, and as the families are increasingly facing stress and anxiety of the nowadays life, the design intent was to bring back a sense of belonging and provide abundant space for get-togethers and family habits.
By facing towards south, the villa floods its interior with natural light, through a full height glass wall into the adjacent triple height void space.
The villa consists of three floating levels. The lower level is basically a floating deck over the ground filled with plants, and the middle and upper levels are suspended by four structural picture frames from an insulated, cast-in-place, exposed concrete shell.
One of the key moments of the journey in this house is the lower level which is an extension of the pool deck, designed to be used as a covered patio for the front yard.
The middle level consists of the main living room, kitchen, and dining space and provides a different experience of the front yard through the triple height void space.
As one ascends to the upper level, which is mainly composed of bedrooms and the upper living room, multiple void spaces allow the natural light to travel between different levels of the villa, and provide a visual and physical link.
The material palette for the interior of the villa is consistent with the materials used in the exterior. Exposed concrete, wood, and plants are the main elements of the material palette, which have been used throughout the interior and the exterior of the villa in order to create a sense of rhythm and harmony between indoor and outdoor spaces.
