House in Memory of Rostam, Kordan

This complex, located at the foothills, was built in two parts: a service section of 240 m² and the main villa of 250 m². Among the challenging factors in the construction process were surface water and spring water on the northern and western sides of the land, which created swamps. After investigation, this water was collected and channeled as water features and streams throughout the complex, stored in a reservoir for landscape irrigation, filtered for the complex's water supply, and the surplus directed to downstream lands through two constructed qanats.

The service section was built parallel to the eastern wall (complex entrance), housing caretaker quarters, kitchen, guest suite, storage, mechanical room, and horse stabling and feed storage, minimizing ground footprint while reducing visibility from neighbors and passersby.

The main villa was designed in the middle section of the land, with its back to the service section, fulfilling the client's wish for separation between these two areas, particularly the pool, without creating barriers. The design was shaped as a composition of two simple, pure rectangular volumes, addressing the pristine mountain landscape views, direct access between bedrooms and pool, creating privacy and physical security while maintaining tangible connection with nature, placing public spaces upstairs for maximum landscape views, minimal building footprint for maximum green space, emphasis on simplicity in textures and materials, and short construction time considering environmental conditions and client needs.

The structural system is steel frame, with Superpipe underfloor piping for water supply, drainage, and heating, and split units for cooling.
