About the project
The project is located in the northern villages in Iran. The project block of land is situated lower than the adjacent road, presenting design challenges. The client requested increasing the pad level in relation to the road.The earthwork for increasing the site level could result in obstruction of the view and excessive budget increase. Another challenge was to design according to the existing historical and cultural context of the area .Our solution for the challenges was to design an inverted house! In this way, the house is accessed through the roof which also plays the role of the front yard, without raising the pad level. This idea maintained the open view of the natural landscape and help to lower the construction costs. we have created an isolated yet connected space using the pitched roofs and then replaced sections of the roofs with planters for trees. Residents can take advantage of a naturally ventilated roofed terrace open to either side even on a rainy day.
