Yas Villa occupies a flat site within a residential complex in Mazandaran. With no distinctive outward view or significant topographic feature, the design creates spatial quality through the relationship between the house and its landscape. Three functional layers organize arrival and service spaces, shared living areas and private rooms, establishing a clear hierarchy of access and privacy. The kitchen acts as a connective core, linking the backyard, terrace, dining and living areas with the front yard. Planted spaces and controlled openings extend the experience of the interior outdoors, bringing landscape and daylight into daily life.
Concept / Design problem
The flat site offered no distinctive outward view. The design therefore creates its own landscape relationships, using access, privacy and adjacency to organize the house rather than relying on an external scenic setting.

Spatial relationships
The kitchen acts as the central connection between the backyard, terrace, dining area, living room and front yard. Their adjacency creates a continuous sequence through the shared living spaces.
Controlled openings connect this sequence visually to the outdoors and bring daylight into its depth.
Landscape integration
Pool, terrace and planting bring outdoor space directly alongside daily living.
Indoor–outdoor continuity
The terrace extends the living space across the threshold.
Interior experience
Kitchen, dining and living spaces read as a connected interior.
Material character
Local Malon stone is used in the façade and landscape paving, connecting the project with the regional character.
