Being contemporary

Translating old architype of houses in north of Iran to a contemporary language

In northern Iran it is a common building tradition to raise the ground floors up to even 2 meters above the ground, by use of sleeper walls in order to prevent moist from penetrating the house. A main concept in designing Arghavan villa was to modernize this tradition by eliminating the masonry mass from this sleeper wall and altering it to an empty living space: semi open and relaxing.

While spaces for gathering and partying are placed on the ground floor, where the sleeper wall is usually supposed to be, the more private areas are stacked on the top, having a less transparent envelope, enjoying controlled views to the outside.
