The main challenge in this project was how to extend the Iranian quadruple arc structural system to create a cube and to breakdown spaces at the same time. Could these domes like structures give a variety of public and privates spaces within a house? What qualities would these spaces have? In the house, the planes of the floor slabs raise arranged in arcs to create dome like volumes. The flexible borders between inside and out in each floor take a different form and structurally work together to make a whole with various levels of privacy.
On the Ground floor the half domes create closed and semi closed spaces with their arched backs facing each other; a glass cube enveloping them, the living room, changing room, kitchen and the areas in between, fluid and flexible lead directly into the open space of the garden. On the first floor the three half domes’ opening this time face each other creating a sunken central courtyard between them, the privacy of this arrangement makes it fit to accommodate the bedrooms that connect to the open area of the central courtyard.
