Parallel villa Villa parallel is a summer house project, located in Nava, Larijani, Amol which overlooks nature around.

One of the significant properties of this project is the steep slope which led to the height difference.

The design was inspired by the site topography and the employer's demand about dwelling and using two generations of a family (father and son). Also due to locating the site in the vicinity of a river, We had to consider the river zone in our design.

Finally, according to the needs of the employer in using occupancy area, permissible density, considering the river zone, and applied level in the past, stair retreat in volumes was exerted.

Cutting the primitive volume and moving them vertically we earned two vertical volumes in two different levels. Thus, similar to the inside of the project which two generations live together despite differences, there are two parallel volumes on the exterior face. In the interior design of the project, we had some efforts to design independent spaces, at the same time, providing the possibility to access each of these sections from inside of the project.

In other words, these two volumes are separated from the outside and attached from the inside.

The other notable property of this project is its pleasant view of Mount Damavand, the mountains around, and the mountainous road. For this reason, by building a terrace, the possibility of using this incredible view is provided. Also, the protrusion of the terrace makes a proper cantilever for summer heat and a better view of scenes around.

According to the climate of the region, being 2300 heights above sea level and snowy winters, the black galvanized plates are used in the final surface and roof. So a continuous and attached cover formed on walls and roofs. With more absorption of solar radiation, the inside temperature becomes pleasant. Thus, the outer walls preserved from extreme cold and heat loss will be less.
