Villakoude

Habitable Facade
The facade of the building is a boundary that separates the inside and outside of the building. This separation also causes the city to be separated from the building and reduces the urban transparency. However, the sense of urban security can be directly related to the experience of transparency in the city.

In Villakodeh project, the facade of the building is stepped away from the city corridor. This form of formation creates floor terraces that are also connected by external stairs. With this vertical connection and gradual set-backing, the facade becomes a habitable space for the residents of the house. In this architectural diagram, the roof of each floor becomes a front yard for the upper floor.

Although, Creating greenery on these terraces makes the building look like a green mountain placed next to an urban corridor. This approach is similar to the circulation diagram and urban fabric that can be seen in the village of Masouleh in the northern part of Iran. A design diagram in which the city and architecture can find the same personality.
