cantiliver villa in iran by azeri+lotfolahi results from the site's topography curves

the ‘valley villa’ project is set on the northern edge of bumahen, iran, on the slope of the mountains near to the creek. the form of omid azeri + jafar lotfolahi’s newly designed residence is a transformative result of the three existing topography curves on site. the aim of the project is to create the least amount of modification to the natural state of the ground. it is a graceful invasion of the topography curves into the boundary of the villa.

two bedrooms overlook towards the valley landscape

iranian based architects omid azeri + jafar lotfolahi‘s latest project began its transformation with the rising height of the topography curves along the south in order to dominate the villa’s view towards the valley landscape. by the movement of these curves, the space hierarchy of the residence has been formed in three floors. in the first and second floors, curves direction changed into the heart of the villa and formed the inner courtyard and void.

the courtyard acts as threshold space, which organizes the space hierarchy around itself

this courtyard acts as threshold space, which organizes the space hierarchy around itself. the courtyard isolates the living space from the pool on the first floor and the master bedroom from the child’s bedroom on the second floor. finally, two bedrooms are overlooking towards the valley landscape and yard, and the third bedroom is  overlooking towards the mountain and yard.
