Villa No. 1 has been designed for a family of three in Mazandaran - North of Iran - on top of a humid green Hill. By forming the open and semi open spaces and openings on southern side of the building, it’s been tried to throw more attention to the natural outdoor landscape and views to green nature, down the hill and the surrounding jungles.
