The residential house is located on the north-eastern outskirts of Tashkent, in a low-rise residential area surrounded by a canal, gardens, and a traditional mahalla. The site is accessible from two streets, creating two contrasting sides of the property. The house is oriented primarily toward the gardens, while the upper floors open views toward the surrounding landscape and, on clear days, the mountains beyond. The built-up area of the house is 697 m².
The main entrance is located on the western side, facing the mahalla and its dense residential fabric. This facade is more enclosed and restrained compared to the garden-facing elevations, providing privacy from the surrounding houses. Architectural elements and recessed openings also protect the entrance areas from direct sunlight.
The building is organized around several courtyards of different sizes. They divide the house into distinct functional zones while providing natural light, ventilation, and visual connections with the landscape. The largest landscaped courtyard is located at the rear of the house and forms the main outdoor space of the property. The main living areas, including the kitchen, living room, master bedroom, hall, spa, and swimming pool, are oriented toward the courtyard.
At the center of the main courtyard, a summer terrace extends the living spaces outdoors. It includes a dining area, lounge, and summer kitchen with a pantry and a separate service connection. The courtyard and terrace form the main setting for family life and allow the interior spaces to remain visually connected to the garden.
The house was designed for a large, young, and active family, with the planning organized around family life, recreation, and a connection with the outdoors. The first floor contains the main shared spaces, centered around a large double-height studio overlooking the garden. The private bedrooms are located on the second floor, while the upper level accommodates a fitness room, terrace, and technical facilities. Additional technical spaces, storage, and a cinema are located in the basement.
Natural light and the relationship between the interior and landscape are key elements of the architectural concept. Floor-to-ceiling glazing opens the main spaces toward the courtyards, while materials used on the facades continue into the interiors, visually extending the architecture from outside to inside. The restrained interior palette of stone, tile, parquet, white walls, and natural wood allows the changing views of the garden to remain the main visual element.
The architecture combines natural materials with a restrained palette. The facades are finished in stone and textured plaster, complemented by natural wood on the terrace ceiling. The courtyards, glazing, and carefully positioned openings create a balance between openness and privacy, allowing the house to remain connected to its surroundings while maintaining a sense of seclusion from the neighboring residential fabric.
