Villain House Redefines Domestic Space With Distinctive Design

Expansive concrete-clad interior with panoramic city views, modern furnishings, and minimalist aesthetic.

The Villain House, designed by architect Clàudia Raurell, is situated in Barcelona, Spain. Completed in 2023, this contemporary residence stands on the northern slope of Montjuic. The design features a straw-colored exterior and a grey-hued, brutalist interior.

Its unique structure forms an integrated urban silhouette, characterized by a doubling of its street-facing facade. Innovative space allocation removes the need for doors, and a glass-enclosed patio improves climate control.

13Chenar Residential by Mado Architects

Unveiling a masterful work of contemporary architecture in the heart of Tehran, Iran, the 13Chenar Residential project by Mado Architects revolutionizes urban living spaces. This striking apartment building, initially faced with construction and design challenges, is now a testimony to innovative design solutions.

Adapting the bubble deck system, the architects shifted the structural elements to the slab edges, thereby liberating the interior and granting end-users the freedom to shape their own spaces. The building features a layered design concept with a unique “ring” around each unit for enhanced privacy and a strong connection with nature, all perched on a 1.4m depth cantilever slab. Here, life unfolds within the carefully crafted layers of curtain wall, vault abstraction, windows, and shear walls – a vibrant dance between dynamism and tranquillity.
