The interior spaces is formed around the patio. the also inspired from sections, voids and stairs of traditional architecture

UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
Perhaps what sets this building apart is its new look at biophilic architecture, Architects have always paid attention to the use of plants and light and water. But this house has become a place for more interaction; birds. This is a house for humans and birds. In this respect, inspired by Iranian historical dovecotes, a part of interior space was dedicated for this purpose.The interior spaces is formed around the patio where the birds live, by creating cross-sectional play and level differences in the spaces, as well as the special design of the stairs and the holes inside it.

OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION:

In addition to creating different sequences of view and the outside perspective, we will see the light radiating from different angles, and consequently playing the dance of light with a change in the angle of incidence. The staircase box is designed in such a way to be different in each floor, it has evolved into an exciting space. a window opens to the staircase from one of the bedrooms so that the user can see a larger window facing the outside of the staircase that allows one to view the tree from the other side of the courtyard.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT:
The main strategy was to bring characteristics of the natural world into built spaces. as well as establishing a visual relationship, for example between light vs shadow.To achieve this goal, the design team began extensive studies on the traditional architecture of the region and finally decided to search more about historic pigeon houses in Iran. comprehensive research was conducted on the architecture of the indigenous houses of the region, such as air circulation, how to deal with climatic issues, spatial arrangement diagrams, vertical and horizontal connections such as stairs, corridors, screens.

CHALLENGE:
The main challenges of the design team were how to create an atmosphere where humans can live together with birds but in kind of coexistence such a way that the independence, peace, and security of each is not lost. On the other hand, it must be made an interaction space between birds and different spaces inside the human house to affect the mood of the residents. Another challenge was the very limited budget that led the architects to a minimalist work.

I am so thrilled to have seen Nima Keivani's work "Kabootar Khaneh" win the A' Design Award for architecture, building and structure design! It is so impressive to see the level of detail and creativity that has gone into this villa. The balance of modern and traditional elements is perfect and I am sure the end result is an amazing living space. I wish I could experience it in person! Nima Keivani deserves all the recognition they have received for this work.

I am in awe of this amazing work! The villa, Kabootar Khaneh, is a truly inspiring architectural feat that brings together the beauty of nature and biophilic architecture. The use of plants, light, water and most notably birds creates an atmosphere of coexistence and connection between humans and nature that is truly unique. The research conducted to create a minimalist space on a limited budget is remarkable, and the design team should be commended for their creativity and hard work. This villa is a shining example of good design and a testament to the power of biophilic architecture.

I am in awe of this inspiring design that seeks to create a symbiotic relationship between humans and birds. It is a beautiful example of how architecture can be used to bring two worlds together. The use of traditional elements such as sections, voids, and stairs creates a unique atmosphere, while the incorporation of a glass patio allows the inhabitants to appreciate the presence of their avian neighbours. This innovative design is a great example of how architects can use their skills to create something both beautiful and functional. It is no surprise that this project was awarded the A' Design Award.

This award-winning work is a beautiful example of biophilic architecture, creating a space for co-existence between humans and birds. Inspired by Iranian historical dovecotes, the design features impressive elements such as cross-sectional play and level differences in the spaces, as well as the special design of the stairs and the holes. The use of old wood for the facade and sloping roof, and the collection of rainwater for irrigation of the plants showcases the effectiveness of using recycled materials and sustainability in the design. All these factors make this work truly deserving of the A' Design Award in Architecture, Building and Structure Design Category.

I am absolutely amazed by Nima Keivani's award-winning work, Kabootar Khaneh. The villa is a perfect example of biophilic architecture, with its focus on integrating nature into the built space. I was especially impressed by the clever use of the traditional Iranian dovecotes as a part of the interior design. This is a unique approach to creating a house that is both human and bird-friendly. It's inspiring to see how the team has gone the extra mile to conduct comprehensive research on the traditional architecture of the region. This is an outstanding work that truly deserves the recognition of the A' Design Award.
