About the project (provided by the applicant)
The «White Cottage» in the Talesh Mountains of Gilan Province, situated at 370 meters above sea level, is designed as a weekend villa with a minimalist aesthetic. Featuring clean lines, geometric forms, and large floor-to-ceiling windows, the structure blends seamlessly with the natural landscape. Its modern, angular design contrasts with the soft, organic surroundings, creating a unique harmony. The use of simple materials and the sloped roof, which manages rainwater, along with ample natural light and ventilation, emphasizes the project's commitment to sustainable architecture.
