The Bridge House

private residential for afshar & associates

In this project, a new and modern context-based architecture is defined with inspiration from local architectural techniques and combining it with modern construction technologies. Furthermore, the design concept is based on the priority of the natural landscape over the constructed project. The design was developed by lower interfering in nature. Therefore, the building is moved away from the earth, which causes the most connection with its landscape consequently. Liner and loop-shaped structures of bridges are grown on different axes, allowing them to have different landscape views.

The project is located on a steep slope facing the valley, which connects the project to different parts of the site by interconnected grid bridges so that no clear boundary can be set for the beginning and end of the building and nature. Along the bridges, you can touch the leaves of the trees and see the views and different dimensions of the project.

Production Technology

In this project, in order to deal with the high humidity of the area, apart from the separation of the building from the ground and the porous form of the building, goat fibers and hair and micro-silica materials have been used. In the decoration section, we look for some materials that have been abandoned by the factory, such as ceramic tiles, granite, and glass. The facade has operable sliding panels with louvers to control light and heat gains but also to provide privacy from close proximity neighborhood.

Design Challenge

Challenges we faced in this design include land slope, humidity, environmental regulations, and preservation of trees on site.

Project Duration

The project started in April 2020 and finished in June 2020. it is located in Mazandaran, Province of Iran.

Operation Flow

The space in this project is designed to be very transparent and the amount of light can be controlled with moving louvers so that this house can offer a different view by changing the hours and seasons so that architecture and nature can talk to each other. The effect of the initial concept on circulation was very effective. When the user is on the bridges, he can experience the whole project from different angles. The project consists of a vertical and horizontal access network.

Research

To reduce energy consumption, the following has been applied 1. right orientation, cross ventilation 2. High-performance insulation materials, 3. Energy glass (low e) 4. External panels blocking direct solar load, 5. Led lighting, 6. Automation.

Inspiration

When the landscape becomes an inspiration, there are no boundaries between inside and outside. This design is a bridge between architecture and nature. A pure design approach to touching nature without interfering with it, so that the house is largely in tune with its topography and at the same time detached from it. The design is inspired by the linear terraces of local architecture (Gholamgardesh).
