Villa 1002 is a project that demonstrates the design ethos of the firm. Locked in on a small land lot in Cornet Chehwan, Villa 1002 is found amongst mountains and steep terrains on a very steep slope itself. The challenges that the site presented were welcomed, and positively used to guide the design of the project. Given the already small lot and legal setbacks, the remaining area left for construction was much smaller than anticipated, which furthered the challenge of making use of every square meter. Following the curvature of the road, a refined solid wall was built to separate the house from the street. On the other side, a large glazed façade faces the valley below. The program was divided onto the permitted 5 floors, leaving a grand structure that’s small in footprint, closed from one end but open from the other, inspiring “La Vie en Hauteur”.
