ZIKKURAT
The final conception and the layout of the project are strongly influenced by two factors: slightly downgraded terrain slope and a vision of the investor of living in a zikkurat of ancient Babylonians and Assyrians.
Instead of standard separation into floors, the entire house is divided into three levels (connected to each other by a single shallow staircase), which follows the adjacent grade of the terrain.
This kind of ‘raumplan’ (spatial arrangement) allows effective setting building on the terrain without any drastic interventions to a lovely existing land.
The composition of the volumes of the levels, ‘glued’ to each other, eventually creates a rectangular terraced mound - zikkurat. I just believe this one is a bit user-friendlier than the original ones, four thousand years old.
