Projecthttp://

The project is located on the northern edge of Bumahen, where on the slopes of the mountain near to the creek. Geometry of villa is a result of transformation of three existing topography curves into the three level. The aim of the project is the least amount of change in the natural state of the ground. It is a poetic invasion of the topography curves into the boundary of the villa. The villa's transformation began with the rising height of topography curves along the south in order to dominate the villa's view toward valley landscape. By the movement of these curves, the space hierarchy of the villa was formed in three floors. In the first and second floors, curves direction changed into the heart of the villa and formed the inner courtyard and void. This courtyard acts as threshold space, which organizes other space hierarchy around itself. The courtyard isolates the living space from the pool on the first floor and the master bedroom from the child's bedroom on the second floor. Finally, two bedroom overlooking towards the valley landscape and yard, and the third bedroom overlooking towards the mountain and yard.
