This project is located in Mazandaran Province, most humid Northen part of Iran, with breathtaking views of the jungle and Alborz Mountains. We took inspiration from nature to design the roof of the complex, specifically the sea waves and the mountains forming the natural landscape. With the location of the villas and routes already predetermined, we could not design a winding path that has a organic feel. However, we were able to reflect the smooth sea waves and the natural landscape on our design of the town skyline.

BIRD-EYE’S VIEW

This site was partitioned into different sizes, and we could only build in the allocated areas. We only added more parking and gardens with natural look into the site. We then categorized the lands into 3 zones based on their area, and designed three alternative plans for the client.

SOUTH - FACING FACADE

The rhythmic dance of the roofs is reminiscent of sea waves.

Ground Floor Plan

Due to the rainy and windy waether of Kelar Abad, I placed the entrence on the east side.

In order to immerse ourselves in the surrounding greenery, I chose glass walls for Ground Floor.

Creating privacy with retractable wooden panels placed in front of the glass. These wooden panels bring wonderful light rays during the day.

Entrence

On the upper floor, there is a maximum view to the outside while maintaining privacy and a view to the pool below.

There is a large terrace on the Easth side to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the jungl and sea.
