Farbod Yamani, Arman Mashhadi, Naghmeh Kasiri Semi-Finalist of Iranian Architect Merit Award 2022 Location: Khal Kheyl Village, Sari, Iran Date: 2019 Area: 200 sqm Status: Completed Client: Fariba Nooshfar Structure Consultant: Mehdi Barari Mechanical Consultant: Amir Yamani Electrical Consultant: Sasan Nooshfar Construction: Arash Yamani, Shahin Sheykhan Photo: Siavash Dastgerdi, Farbod Yamani This Villa is located on Sari-Kiasar road, on the top of a village called Khal Kheyl, in a garden in the heart of jungle. Previous owner of the garden was a cattleman, and he used this building for keeping cattles, while the current owner changed this building to a place for temporary residence. The client request for expansion of living area, weakness of the current structure (9*9 cans and single foundations), and the Natural Resources Organization policies for impossibility to create a new permanent structure, were main conflicting challenges that should be redefined by architectural methods, without the buildings destruction. The chosen strategy was splitting the house’s crust, and importing containers as temporary resistant structures, into them, resulting in buildings reinforcement, and expansion of the area in ground and the first floors. After adding the containers, and reinforcing the structure and increasing the area of both floors, we were inspired by spatial diagram of northern traditional houses (Telar) for spatial organization of the building. The organization of the house is defined in two floors: the ground floor that the basic living spaces are located in it, and the first floor that includes a small room in one side, with three open sides.
