"Apartment" and "Rural country house" are usually two different concepts. vernacular architecture of the project region is known with large balconies and wooden structure. Challenge was to it and restore this concept to the building that was supposed to use modern architecture. In the past, most of the local people lived in houses with large semi-open spaces. But now the dense urban space doesn't allow it. Considering the poor view of the neighboring building. To do this, first we rotated the balcony in a way that it could have a good view of the green space at the end of the alley.
