Text description
The project of the Horizontal Villa is designed on a 5000 square meter plot in an 8-hectare residential complex in the pleasant climate of Kordan, for a family of seven. The project includes three 2-bedroom units with separate access, four guest suites, a dining hall, a gym, a sauna, and a shared swimming pool. Due to the east-west orientation of the site, the project extends horizontally, and since there is a significant amount of green space and gardens on the site, the decision was made to exclude green space on the roof and avoid access to this area.

The concept of the project emerged from the horizontal extension of the building mass due to the east-west orientation of the site and the maximum utilization of the views and landscapes facing the site. The main design challenge was to ensure the independence of the units and suites, so that the access to the parents' unit and their guest suite is separate from the children's units. To address this challenge, gaps were created in the mass that, in addition to solving the independent access issue, also help utilize regional winds for natural ventilation within the project. Throughout the design process, we aimed to create a unique identity for each unit to enhance the spatial quality while maintaining the overall coherence of the villa. This was achieved by incorporating independent balconies, differentiating materials, playing with ceiling heights, and varying the shading of spaces.

Due to the favorable views of the Kordan mountains and the garden area of the residential complex, the northern and southern facades of the villa were designed to be transparent. To harmonize the form, brick and concrete materials were extended into the interior spaces of the units. The sports spaces and dining hall were designed according to the slope of the site in a way that, while centrally located for easier access, they do not obstruct the views of the units.
