Located in Natanz?s suburbs, this small plot of land was chosen to become the home of a cozy villa with a limited budget for construction. The client?s main demand was preserving the view toward south-east horizontal gardens for all interior spaces while maintaining their privacy. In addition to the concern mentioned above, because of the political importance of this site in which nuclear facilities are located, there was limited access to materials and professional workforce. This compelled the client to merely use the local materials.

After placing all spaces on one floor, the main challenge was to preserve the view of all spaces. Courtesy of White on White Studio – Design Process Diagram
Design started with separating the public spaces (living room, kitchen) and private spaces (bedrooms, bathrooms) as two independent boxes.
