Villa Sepid, is an expansive residential building with an area of 542 m2, designed as a triplex villa to maximize the available space, and is currently under construction.
The restrictions based on the town’s construction regulations in terms of adjacency, permissible construction zones, and the use of sloping roofs, shaped the fundamental structure of the building. Vertical perspectives were employed as a tactic to ensure the maximization of spatial efficiency construction while standing by the regulatory standards. Semi-open spaces were defined to serve the dual purpose of offering a sophisticated view and providing needed public and private domains, ensuring alignment with the coastal landscape of Caspian Sea approximately 300 meters away to meet the client’s spatial requirements.
Regarding the longitudinal stretch of the land and facing solidity from the eastern and western sides, it was essential to introduce openness in the middle of the structure to allow greenery, sunlight, and a view of the sky within the place. Considering a skylight feature facilitated achieving this goal.
Public areas are situated on the ground floor and the second floor whereas the private areas are placed on the first floor. By defining the living room area on the left side of the entrance, with the purpose of facile access to the lift and the stairs to connect with the upper floors, and placing the guests’ bathroom and the scullery on the opposite side, not only the specific spaces are divided but also allows desirable access to the user’s intended areas. Indirect circulation was employed to break the direct lines of sight towards the end of the hall, designated a semi-open space in the building’s core, granting both natural lighting and greenery and act as an intermediary living space between the northern living room and the southern hall. Note that creating such space was nearly impossible on the east and west sides of the building due to the imposed limitations from neighboring properties therefore, the best solution was to install openwork shutters to maximize available natural lighting.
The first floor consists of three master bedrooms, a living space along with a pantry the place. A game room, social space, as well as a spacious terrace facing the sea are provided on the second floor. On the rooftop, at the intersection of the sloping and deck, a space is considered for sunbathing and enjoying the sea view. A sauna and jacuzzi are also included on the southern side of the second floor with a view of the pool and the forest landscape behind.
For the execution of the mesh surfaces on the side, stone is used while primary structural elements are executed in white cement. Efforts have been made in order to minimize the use of artificial materials, aiming to establish sustainability and a stronger connection with the environment. The project’s surrounding is artfully designed to adhere to principles of minimalism, using a combination of botanical and geological elements in the site’s framework.
