Concept

The Wall Villas project comprises five villas for five families in Anzali. The site was created by merging three adjacent plots. Given its location, the wall between the street and the site shapes the villas, creating a form that harmonizes with the local typology through increasing thicknesses. The villa complex is designed with a dual response to the site conditions: it is introverted towards the street to ensure privacy, and extroverted towards the pond to provide views.
