In fact they didn’t count on using open spaces while it was surrounded by the neighbors and also the street passengers in a small distance who could see the pool, …

There are various characteristics attributed to the project, the most significant of which are taking into consideration the dense texture of the site as a villa complex on one hand, and the culture, Religious beliefs and life style practiced by the people of Isfahan on the other.

This element shapes up a dwelling inspired by the spirit of the old times, yet articulated using modern-day language.
Another challenge the project in question is confronted with is the attempt to control climate conditions of the arid desert land surrounding it, and to deliver translucent spaces at the same time.
