Measurement

As this project is located in the first line of the Caspian Sea, our definition of it was a frame for the sea. So, we simply used a cubic frame applied to the building. On the other hand, regarding the weather of the region as the rainiest region of Iran we rolled this cube to the side.

This rotated concrete cube spontaneously is responsible for avoiding rain as well as other gable indigenous roofs. With a little shift up to the north sky, we maximized the sea/sky view which means our primary frame will work properly.

We exposed the outside to the inside! The same material and shape are visible from the inside. We believe architecture is more than shelter. It is a dialogue—between light and shadow, structure and soul, nature and nurture. This home, perched by the vast expanse of the Caspian Sea, stands as a testament to that belief. For us, Form Follows Emotion. Each angle and intersection echoes the fluidity of the nearby sea. The structure captures the ever-changing mood of the coast—from still mornings to storm-kissed evenings—shaping an emotional landscape within architectural form. Local textures and natural finishes ground the home in its Caspian context. Concrete roots it to the earth. Warm wood tones reflect the surrounding forests. Expansive glass invites the sea breeze and light to flow freely inside.

Having an integrated design on site, the strategy we took, combined the building to all the other elements we have in the garden.

This provides the meaning of continuity. With some strokes in form, we stimulate the imagination.

The house is a sculptural form, a cubic frame that captures the This house is a habitable sculpture—its bold cantilevers and slanted geometries echoing waves, sails, and the sharp cliffs found along the shore. It redefines the domestic form into something both poetic and precise. The Caspian climate—its wind, light, and salt air—shapes every surface. Shaded outdoor niches, sunlit terraces, and framed views ensure the home breathes with the environment. Indoors and outdoors become fluid, like land and sea.

Staircases and walkways move like currents through the space, offering visual rhythm and guiding flow. Architecture here is not just structure—it is journey, rhythm, and memory. By the sea, life is elemental. This home offers refuge from its power, yet expresses its grandeur. It is bold, expressive, and resilient—like the coast it calls home.

The tiny cube which is merged with the main one is a front door, entrance hall and staircase. To be more inviting and recognizable its material in contrast with the main cube is colourful and warm.
