DESIGN NAME: Mahallati House
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Residential
INSPIRATION: A completely private courtyard, but soulless and unrelated with the interior; was the inspiration of the project's designer; whose usual goal in architecture is the synthesis of interior and exterior spaces, and reconciliation between architecture and nature; So the design's idea based on the creation of a small nature in the courtyard and dragging it into the interior and playing with natural and artificial lighting and their shadows on each other.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The project's yard is the turning point of the natural elements and a pleasing pattern of the play of shadows and lights, which after passing through it and accompaniment of the rocky wall with the appearance of nature, we enter the interior.Other features of the project are the integration of the inside and the outside, which creates the warm interaction between the yard and the white space of the house by importing spots of the yard's nature into it and designing different levels of lighting.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The designing process was based on the creation of a continuous plan from the beginning to the end of the project's ground, which became possible with glassy walls and by eliminating the interior steps. The function of the yard was defined by the design of architectural and natural elements, and the function of the building was defined by a long and continuous line of light that started from the entrance, traversed the living room, the kitchen, the library and the TV and by returning to the starting point, formed the entrance gate of the building.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project started in July 2016 and finished in July 2017. It is located in Tehran, Iran.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: The main goal of this building's renovation was to take the person away from the bustle city and bring him to the calm and to create a different quality of life during both night and day by synthesizing the four elements of nature with routine life from the outermost part of the building to the most private part of it. The result of the architect's design can be summarized in one sentence: A touch of nature! In his opinion, each person's share of nature, whether it be a forest or a small vase, should be preserved.
CHALLENGE: The challenge of the project was the low area of the yard, which troubled us in creating the desired nature; So it was decided to create nature on a small scale; such as the fountain which is a simulacrum of a small waterfall; or Pergola which enters the project small frames of firmament, light and shadow. During this process, by extending the parts of the same elements into the interior, we sensually and visually expanded the courtyard and its nature, such as the slabs of the entrance section.
