To address the intense sunlight that bathes the western side of the property, the architects incorporated operable porous bricks into the design. These innovative elements provide a functional degree of shading, allowing light to filter through while reducing glare and heat inside the home. This balance of light and shade creates a comfortable interior environment without compromising the panoramic views that define Villa Kaylan’s design.
The exterior facade of the villa is a blend of brick and white cement, chosen for its durability against the extreme winter conditions of the rural Damavand region outside Tehran. This combination of materials not only adds to the visual appeal of the home but also ensures its resilience in a challenging climate. The carefully selected finishes harmonize with the surrounding landscape, giving Villa Kaylan both a timeless aesthetic and practical functionality.
Villa Kaylan is a striking single-family house distinguished by its three distinct cubes, each contributing to its unique architectural identity. The design is centered around the central cube, which has been purposefully extruded towards the west and south, creating an impressive visual extension of the structure. This bold design choice, while presenting significant engineering challenges, allows the villa to take full advantage of the stunning views from the western facade, making the landscape an integral part of the living experience.
