VILLA CHESHMESAR

The client needed to design a villa on a 1000 sqm land with 15m width and with 67m length and also a 20m difference in height between the lowest and the highest level of the land. The land had two accesses for cars, one from the top and the other one from the bottom. We suggest to divide the land into two equal lands in area (500 sqm) and suggested the client to build two uniform villas and give accesses one from the top and the other from the bottom but the point was the difference in land levels and additionally the disturbing view that the upper villa would have to the bottom villa. On the other hand, the owner wanted to design those two villas with the local housing typology that Mazandaran province had in the past. Those two villas must be duplexes with pools.
