villa

BakhtYar

Type

villa

Date

2025

Status

under construction

Location

Isfahan/Iran

Scale

1100 sqm

The project is sited near the city of Isfahan which hosts a traditional and conservative cultural context and has a hot and dry climate. To people of this area, the concept of a villa is illustrated as a building offering maximum green outdoor along with ample privacy.  By removing a large volume of the building on the ground floor and adding it to the possible yard space, the area of the yard has doubled. Considering the advantages of the central courtyard archetype in this area, we, through adopting a new attitude, organized a courtyard in the middle of the villa building and connected it to the semi-open courtyard. This strategy has made natural ventilation possible. It also enables us to control the shade and sunlight in different seasons and get the optimal use of them. We left an empty space between the perimeter wall and the construction body and utilized this space to create a green belt. The presence of the green belt around the site helps us generate a micro-climate in the heart of this hot and dry climate which provides more desirable temperature and humidity. This green setting also enriches the feeling and experience of being in a villa. The western and southwestern walls were closed to prevent disturbing winds and possible pollution from the refinery located near the villa. The role of the structure was changed since it is no longer hidden in the construction and in turn, it is pulled out, actively embracing the whole construction. This combination forms the main facade of the project. The structure not only has its technical task, but also plays an aesthetic role.
