Housing at Tehran
The kinetic design evolves a series of moving box rooms that translate traditionally segregated space soving symphony of space, light and dialogue.
The swivel mechanism used reinterprets the machine for modernist living. The three rooms – one on each level housing an office, guestroom and dining area – swing out during sunny climes, adding 12 square meters of terrace, natural light and ample ventilation. The rooms draw back into a more consolidated profile during winter and more private moments. Each box room with its kinetic mechanism is designed to handle a maximum weight of 25 tons.
A series of bridges connect the individual box rooms to the main house, designed in a minimalist open plan. A central void brings natural light into the heart of the home, spectacularly lighting up all four levels. A glass floor fountain in the front-yard generously and beautifully filters light into the pool, gym, sauna and spa in the basement below.
