Guyim Villa
Nestled in a lush garden in the village of Guyim, near the bustling city of Shiraz, a form has emerged that seems to have sprung from the very earth itself, gently rising and flowing back into the embrace of the land. This residential project is not merely a structure; it is a poetic narrative of the union between earth, greenery, and architecture—an embodiment of the earth's own creation, showcasing a living, breathing form among the ancient trees.
The smooth, curved lines flow like green waves rising from the soil, creating a roof that is no longer just a ceiling but an integral part of the landscape—a space for walking, sitting, playing, and rolling in the grass. The roof becomes the fifth façade, extending the garden and forming a deep connection between architecture and nature. In this fluid motion, light enters through carefully crafted cuts and carvings, penetrating the space and merging the interior with light and life.
Every curve and arch offer a new experience: children slide down the gentle slopes of green, adults stroll above, and every passerby feels its touch. This form is more than just shelter; it is land transformed into poetry, a place where the sky and earth blend together, and architecture becomes a playful element, a space for living, and a collective memory.
The spaces beneath these green layers are hidden in the heart of the earth, offering a quiet tranquility. Rooms that receive light from the earth below, sunken courtyards that become intimate amphitheaters for conversation and relaxation, and windows that, like the building’s eyes, gaze out toward the garden. In this embrace of form and earth, architecture seems to disappear, leaving behind only a poetic nature—one that enfolds humanity within it, making them a part of the land.
Amidst the abundant trees, against the backdrop of calm and silent mountains, this structure rises like a child of the earth—not as an intrusion into nature, but as a part of it. Here, the form is not a boundary but a bridge between the earth and the sky, between stillness and play, between memory and future.
This villa in Guyim is, above all, a piece of spatial music; a poem composed with curving lines and words of earth and greenery. It is a place where architecture not only accommodates nature but fully integrates it into its core.
