Sols Villa
Iran, Mazandaran, Sorkhroud
The project was named as Sols Villa because the site was divided into three sections, two of which are due for future development. The primary challenges in this project were the site's proximity to the sea, high groundwater levels, narrow width, and the client's request for maximum space utilization.

The building mass is separated from the ground and divided into constituent elements in this project. Due to the low external surface, the spaces are drawn away from the mass, resulting in a combination of more surface on the outside and more open plan on the inside, allowing for greater flexibility in response to climatic needs and design opportunities.

This villa's primary living, eating, and sleeping areas are separated to take advantage of varying views and public vs. private spaces. As a result, the villa's architecture extends into spaces of varying heights and masses. The doubleheight and light-filled living room is an inviting space for family gatherings.

The stair is playing a central role in this project because it connects interior spaces plus the exterior to the interior of the volume. It is located on the northern side of the building as a sculpture through a state-of-the-art design, and as a significant element of this project defined by its unique characteristics.

The terrace is created by varying the mass at various levels, creating a unique view for each space. The green roof comprises several surfaces at various levels, creating a private courtyard that offers captivating views of the surrounding areas. Because concrete is the predominant material in Iran's northern region, this project's structural and façade materials are concrete.

The villa is in dialogue with its audience and context, and each space has an identifiable personality. It is the most straightforward representation of an architectural structure and its constituent elements.
