Khosravan Villa

In the initial site visit, crucial elements influenced the design of this villa. Firstly, the project site consisted of two pieces of land perpendicular to each other and on two different elevation levels. Secondly, the earthy tones and the plant texture found in the foothills of this village, displaying relatively reddish and cedar hues, created an appealing combination in their interaction.

The primary objectives of the project were to create a vacation residence, a painting workshop, and living space with two bedrooms. The design took shape in cross-section by utilizing the height difference between the two land parcels, placing the painting workshop on the lower land, using its roof as the southern courtyard of the building, and defining the staggered volumes with conical roofs as the main mass elements.

The project's main focus was on harmonizing with the color and texture of the project environment. The suggestion to use rammed earth as the main structural component of the building and incorporating buried concrete bundling to create the foundation for conical cupola structures formed the main body of the building. Villa Khosrowan, in its effort to resonate and coordinate with the adjacent red mountainous terrain, took shape through a combination of the local soil, colorless sloping roofs and final coverings, and seamlessly blended with the natural plant texture of the area.

In the interaction of the horizontal and vertical axes of the design, a transparent internal greenhouse was created amidst the solid volumes of the building, emphasizing these axes in a special way.11:52
