The inspiration behind Ayaz Villa is deeply rooted in the picturesque landscape and rich cultural tapestry of its location. Yaser and Yasin Rashid Shomali have meticulously crafted a space that not only respects the environment but also reinterprets local architectural motifs for the 21st century. The villa's design is a nod to tradition, with sloping roofs that draw from historical forms, yet it boasts a modern edge that sets it apart from the mundane.
Bringing this vision to life, the villa is constructed with a robust steel skeleton, ensuring longevity and resilience against the elements. The interior exudes warmth, with wood finishes that invite a sense of comfort and intimacy. The expansive use of glass allows for panoramic views of the surrounding jungle, creating an unbroken dialogue between the indoors and the natural world. Advanced CAD and 3D modeling techniques have been instrumental in achieving the villa's sustainable and energy-efficient design.
Spanning 400 square meters over three levels, Ayaz Villa offers a generous living space without compromising the land's integrity. Each of the four master bedrooms is a private haven, with one boasting a balcony for an elevated experience of the outdoors. The top floor terrace and dual-level seating areas provide versatile spaces for entertainment and relaxation, catering to the diverse needs of its inhabitants.
Interaction with the villa is designed to be intuitive and pleasurable. The strategic layout promotes a seamless flow throughout the home, fostering both social engagement and personal solitude. The incorporation of large windows not only frames the enchanting views but also harnesses natural light to create an uplifting atmosphere. This thoughtful design ensures that the villa operates as a cohesive unit, enhancing the overall experience of those seeking refuge within its walls.
The journey of Ayaz Villa began in mid-2022 and continues to unfold in the scenic Motel Ghoo area of Mazandaran Province, Iran. A team of skilled professionals is dedicated to actualizing the Shomali brothers' vision, with construction underway and the promise of completion on the horizon. The project is a living example of how research, creativity, and technical prowess can come together to create spaces that resonate with their environment and the people who inhabit them.
Recognized for its design excellence, Ayaz Villa has been honored with the Iron A' Architecture, Building and Structure Design Award in 2024. This accolade is a testament to the Shomali brothers' commitment to quality, innovation, and the seamless integration of form and function. Ayaz Villa stands as a beacon of design, inviting occupants to experience the tranquility of nature while enjoying the comforts of modern living.
