Description

The House Around the Bay is located in the urban gardens of Gouyom Shiraz, on a 2000-square-meter plot. This area has become popular for residents seeking weekend villas. The client requested a two-story villa despite prior site changes. Initially, architects felt discouraged by the client’s resistance to essential modifications, as they had already built a classic gazebo and a pool. Consequently, we decided to design a new shallow pool surrounding the existing one. This configuration created a harmonious connection with the garden and the surrounding area. We transformed the classic gazebo into a modern circular tent, integrating it with the pool design. This compromise was beneficial for both parties. Ultimately, the pool became the focal point, defining the villa's structure. We proposed a single-story villa with a basement instead of the requested two stories, allowing the surrounding trees to remain prominent.
