A stone’s throw away from Wilson Botanic Gardens, Humble House brings the outdoors in at every opportunity. Drawing on the client’s cultural heritage, the concept embodies key traits found in traditional Indian homes and offers a refined, though unassuming aesthetic that advocates for the joys of stripping away excess and living simply with ease.
Vault on Vault Villa is a unique house located in Royan, Iran with a stunning view of the Caspian Sea. Designed by KRDS in 2023, the villa project was created with two goals in mind: to experiment with the facilities of vaults and domes, and to create harmony with the environment of this region.
Using advanced steel and concrete structures, the architects created new combinations of vaults and domes, while the building was oriented to the north and south to benefit from light and proper ventilation. In addition, the mansard roof system and cement walls were used to cover the upper parts of the building and to deal with the region’s harsh rainy conditions.
