As part of this project, the top architect reinterpreted the traditional house with courtyard and took inspiration from his Iranian homeland. Here, houses are often built with one floor underground due to the heat – a construction method that has been used for over 1,500 years.
There are virtually no enclosed rooms in the 1,200-square-metre house. The water features are surrounded by walls, creating a modern living environment. Meanwhile, the light wells, inner courtyards and gardens ensure lots of light – even in the areas below ground level. The design concept is based on natural colours and materials.
