Best Implemented Project of Private Residence

About the project (provided by the applicant)
Dehsar Villa is located in the rural context of the Astaneh–Kiashahr axis on a 279 m² plot with a limited frontage of 9 m. This constraint was treated from the outset as a generative diagram rather than a mere limitation.
The conceptual idea draws on the archetypal image of “home” — the gabled roof familiar from children’s drawings as a universal sign of dwelling. In this project, the house is not a cliché form but a text for re-reading the meaning of living in today’s context.
The spatial organisation is based on a clear public/private duality:
• Front section: a one-and-a-half storey commercial/office space opening to the road and local community. The ground floor of this part is 40 m²; a higher ceiling makes the small shop area feel more spacious. The mezzanine office is designed as a suspended element to reinforce functional separation and visual identity.
• Rear section: a two-storey residential zone providing privacy and family living space.
