Mayan Villa is located on the outskirts of the third summer tourist village of Mashhad, which is 1800 years old. A land with an area of 265 square meters with a width of 9 meters, on a rocky land with a steep slope, which its special character is a pristine landscape and its connection with the context.
Consequently, the creation of a harmonious relationship between the volume and the context with the slightest change in the historical-natural form of the context was the most important idea of the project for the designing team. In this regard, the study and complete identification of indigenous patterns, from the morphology of the texture of the historic village to the ecology of the natural environment, helped greatly to form the concept of the project.
Due to the limited land area, severe topography, and the summer climate of the region, designing through the section was used as the main process to form the basis of the relationship between context and volume to solve its problems. Placing only two volumes (parking-entrance volume and residential volume) on two different levels, and establishing a relationship between them through a green space and roof garden, presented a suitable response to the program, landscape, and open space of the project.
