Vanoush Villa is situated on an elongated sloping site in Mazandaran. Positioning the building toward the southern portion of the plot allowed the design to control views, maintain privacy, and create a more open relationship with the surrounding landscape. The spatial organization is based on a clear distinction between public and private functions, with collective spaces on the lower level and private rooms above, while generous northern and southern openings strengthen daylight, natural ventilation, and connection to the landscape on both floors.
The architectural concept is generated through the movement of a single continuous envelope. As this surface shifts between vertical, horizontal, and inclined planes, it defines the two primary volumes of the building while simultaneously forming terraces, semi-open spaces, window edges, and the more enclosed eastern and western façades. This continuity transforms the building from a composition of separate elements into an integrated architectural system shaped directly by climate, orientation, and use.
Between the two main volumes, a lighter and more transparent structure acts as a connecting element. Housing the staircase and vertical circulation, this central core brings daylight into the middle of the building while also mediating between the kitchen and the main living spaces. Vanoush Villa ultimately emerges through a balance between mass and transparency, enclosure and openness, and the controlled presence of architecture within its natural setting.
