The building has been organized on three floors; the basement, the ground floor, and the first floor. Due to the considerable slope of the ground, the basement space also leads light and natural landscape. In one part of the basement, there is a living area and kitchen, and on the other side, there is a sauna and a swimming pool with a view of the garden. On the ground floor, there are the main hall, a kitchen and dirty kitchen, a guest room, and the toilet. Three other bedrooms are located on the first floor, with a TV room and a pantry. The main challenge that was mostly considered in the project, was the design of a variety of spaces with maximum daylight and natural ventilation, to offer diverse experiences for the residences. This diversity of spaces is not only in the design of interior spaces, but also in the design of outdoor and semi-open spaces too. In order to achieve this demand, a vertical void was considered in the middle of the building, which in addition to providing natural light and view for the basement living room, also allows spatial communication between all floors. On arrival, we will encounter a consular volume that correctly defines the entrance space, and the change of floor and ceiling materials of the pre-entry space also add to its emphasis.
