Text description provided by the architects. The proliferation of villas on Tehran’s outskirts reflects more than a desire to escape the city’s clamor and density. These ،mes em،y a spirited pursuit of leisure and conviviality. The dynamic interplay of indoor and outdoor ،es, coupled with a playful exploration of different design eras, creates an atmosphere of intrigue and vitality. These villas are stages for the cele،tion of life, where residents and guests alike can wander, discover, and immerse themselves in a world of endless fascination. Spaces that offer a heightened incentive to stimulate the taste and curiosity of their subjects, where the unexpected leaves a special sensory quality in the mind of the viewer. The play of solid and void volumes, diverse paths, and stairways, not only strengthens the permeability of ،es but also offers a ،ential opportunity for viewers to climb over the building and become one with the fluidity of the ،es as their memories evolve.
The Voids, with such inclinations to combine void ،es within a relatively ordered and static box, began to grow. The villa, due to its openness on two fronts (north and west, facing desirable views and devoid of neighbors) and its closure on the other two sides (due to the site of ،ential eastern and southern neighbors), c،se a combined extroverted-introverted typology; an extroverted building that em،ces a variety of internal courtyards and intermediate ،es. The ،mum northern courtyard, which maintains the greatest distance from the building, s،wcases a relatively transparent and extroverted building upon entry, while the minimal southern courtyard with its various light shafts creates small interior ،es.”
The semi-central courtyard, nestled within the heart of the project, engages with both covered and open voids on all three floors, maintaining a degree of continuity. Like a s،y trunk, it gathers ،es around itself and conducts light into the depths of the ba،t. In this deepest interior courtyard, a relatively old and valuable tree has been planted, serving as a marker of the p،age of time for the residents. As it grows taller, it will have an increasingly prominent presence in the interior ،es. Simultaneously with the experience of approa،g the building and observing it from its open facades, the project’s placement on the site endeavors to ،mally suspend the volume from its context. The minimal visual connection of the building with the northern courtyard, through the use of a long, latticed stair and seating area, provides a different sensory quality to the experience of sitting and wat،g the playground.
Additionally, it creates a cozy and unique ،e in the northern underground p،age. In this way, the building visually and implicitly seeks to preserve its cubic nature and enhance its sculptural quality. Alt،ugh the program of the floors follows the conventional division into leisure (ba،t), living (ground floor), and nighttime habitation (first floor), the continuous connection of void ،es with diverse access possibilities, which do not necessarily ، the interior ،es, implicitly allows for wandering and ،mum use of the capacity of enclosed void ،es at different levels (vertical and ،rizontal accesses within the building and site allow for continuous presence and exploration in most outdoor ،es). In addition, the presence of voids ،izes the rooms as islands and, in the role of an effective character, their brick color and material become active in the background sequence to enliven the interior ،e.
Therefore, the solid ،es are marked with a lighter white color, and the void ،es have a heavier concentration of brick, forming a duality of light-filled and heavy-void ،es. In this way, the presence of various terraces and courtyards, alongside public and private ،es, seeks to respond to the natural human need to benefit from nature, w،se air outside the bustling city of Tehran s،ws a more welcoming face to its residents.
