About the project (provided by the applicant)
«Laanak» emerged from a dialogue between the architectural elements (floor, wall, and ceiling) in response to the client's needs, brought forth half by his immediate experience of upbringing in a deeply traditional and religious rural setting, and half by living in the modern and rationalistic environment of the capital. Specifically, he sought a modern building with strong connections to the outdoors, akin to the luxury buildings he had constructed in Tehran, while also desiring an enclosed space to provide privacy for his guests and close relatives.
The strategy of the preliminary design aimed to harmonize two layers of private life (internal) and semi-public life (external). Based on this, we tried to create a confidential and introverted space for private life by reconfiguring the ground and extending it. We also sought to organize semi-public living spaces with maximum communication with the outside. To achieve this, we modified the roof by removing the walls.
