Description

Not too far away from Iran’s capital, Tehran, Villa No. 30 is a family getaway house designed not to exceed 80 square meter foot print in order to meet the applicable zoning by-laws and the project budget. The design intent is to emphasize the very fundamental essence of architecture: Providing shelter.

As an essential element in provision of shelter, the roof of the villa , is  designed to perform a multifunctional building skin which, while shelters a glass structure, facing south, it provides sun shade, and facing north, it is sloped to harvest the rainwater towards the exterior planters. The double skin façade facing south also allows for natural exterior ventilation. The glass skin of the building, is made of back painted glass panels which create a sense of invisible building skin and mirror the adjacent plants and trees.

The material palette, using wood and mirrored glass panels which either frame the adjacent green spaces or mirror them, is consistent throughout the interior and exterior of the villa, eliminating the border between the outdoor and indoor spaces and extending the experience of architectural space beyond the perimeter of the 80 square meter ground floor.
