The «Eshtiyagh» villa is part of an urban development project centered on human connection. It consists of smaller, concave-shaped boxes that create a welcoming and approachable scale within the city, diverging from traditional monolithic structures. This design demonstrates a thoughtful approach to urban integration and emphasizes the importance of openings for connecting with the environment. Inspired by the universal gesture of raised hands, the villa’s architecture embodies a desire for connection across cultures. The grand entrance encourages reverence and anticipation, while strategically positioned windows provide glimpses of cherished moments unfolding inside. The combination of architectural elements balances intimacy in smaller spaces and an impressive urban scale for onlookers.v
