Villa at Salaheddinkola

Villa at Salaheddinkola by Shahriar Ghadimi is worthy of praise due to its simplicity and essential quality. The building's typology and its placement on the land are inspired by the vernacular architecture of the northern coast. The details of the work are very simple yet beautiful and precise. The architecture is clear, unadorned, and free of intellectual anxieties.

Critic Kamran Afshar Naderi praised the villa highly, noting that with this work the designer has demonstrated that very simple and small works can also present good architecture without complex aesthetic devices. The project stands as proof that architectural quality does not require grand gestures or elaborate formal experiments — simplicity, when executed with care and conviction, achieves an eloquence of its own. Selected as a Jury Selection at the 2nd Grand Memar Award (2002) in the Single-Family Houses category.
