Villa plan design ((Review of the most important points + plan design features of different types of villas))
Designing a villa plan is one of the most important steps done by architectural experts. Important points must be considered in designing the plan for different types of villas. Many of the features considered by the employer should be considered and considered in the design. Here we show you the tips that are the result of the design experience of Narek Architecture Studio. By considering these points, you will see a proper and perfect design.
The difference between a villa plan and a residential plan
Residential houses and apartments are usually located in crowded and confined urban spaces. For this reason, they have limitations in creating lighting and opening in different directions.
But in designing the plan of the villa, openings can be placed in all aspects without worrying about the issue of privacy. Another difference is the design of semi-open spaces such as the porch and terrace of the villa in large and important dimensions in the villa. The design of this space will cause communication and the plan of the villa will be effective. In many cases, the main lines of the plan continue until the landscaping of the villa.
In designing a villa, recreational and sports spaces and spending leisure time are very important. But in the residential plan, living space is more necessary. Outdoor design in the villa causes more creativity.
Villa plan design
In the design of the villa plan by Narek Architecture Studio, factors such as the form of the volume, the spatial demands of the project, the limitations and potentials of the available space are influential. In most cases, the plan and volume of the villa are formed together. In the meantime, the facade design of the villa will be integrated with them. When modeling volumes with different compositions, it is better to consider the desired spaces.
Villa yard design
In designing the plan of the villa, the location of the car park, the location of the fountain or pool, the sanitary service of the yard, and the pavilion are considered as components of the villa yard. This yard design can also include sidewalk placement, yard walls, green spaces and yard lighting. Among other important things, it is necessary to coordinate the design of the yard with the main facade of the building. As far as possible, the green space and the surrounding nature should be intact. The possible slope of the land should be maintained and the trees should not be cut down.
Villa structure design
After designing the villa plan and ensuring that the villa plan is desirable, the structural design work begins by the structural design engineer. Using special software for building design, the structure of the villa is loaded and modeled with complete specifications. Then, considering the standards and regulations of building design, earthquake simulation is performed on these maps. Finally, the software output is reviewed by the structural designer. As a result of this process, structural plans are drawn with all the executive details in order to build the villa structure.
Duplex villa plan design
By dividing and creating vertical connections, interior spaces can be created in designing a plan for a duplex villa. For the design and execution of a duplex villa, the first floor plan is usually allocated to public spaces and services such as reception, living room and kitchen. Private and sleeping spaces in duplex design are usually installed upstairs. In duplex design, stairs usually have a special place and are designed decoratively and beautifully.
Important points in designing a villa plan
One of the points considered in the design of villa house plans by Narek Architecture Studio is to differentiate between private and public spaces. Public spaces in the villa include living room, dining room and kitchen. The dining area should be close to the kitchen and close to the living room.
Bathrooms, bedrooms and private living rooms are spaces that need more privacy. Due to the open environment of the villa can be installed for bedrooms, terrace or balcony. In this way, the connection of these spaces with nature will increase and they will have the maximum use of nature.
In designing a one-story villa plan, a spatial distance between public and private spaces can be considered. If the multi-storey duplex design is desired, service, utility, sports and leisure spaces such as indoor pool, sauna, game room and Jacuzzi are at the lowest level. On the entrance level of these houses, the ground floor is dedicated to living spaces, guest rooms, living rooms, kitchens. Private spaces such as bedrooms are located on the upper floors. Of course, in some cases, depending on the access and location of the villa can be reversed. Other details that are considered in the design of the villa plan are:
- After locating the spaces, matching the dimensions and location of the openings, the indentations of the volume and the plan are done together.
Changing the view of the villa and changing the forms, volume heights and view of the villa should be in accordance with the uses of the plan. This will lead to the formation of the executive plan of the villa and will be able to be implemented. This step is a reciprocal process between plan and volume.
By piling the plan of the villa and measuring it accurately, the project is gradually approaching the execution phase.
The design of the final villa plan is done by drawing the structure and adapting it to the architectural plan.
Essential features in the design
Before starting to design the villa plan by Narek Architecture Studio, a list of essential villa spaces is prepared. Essential spaces may be different because each employer has their own interests and tastes. In addition to the essential spaces that are needed in residential homes, a variety of spaces are also considered. Among these spaces, we can consider suitable spaces for cycling, leisure, entertainment and other side activities.
Other features that may be necessary for many employers are as follows:
- Maximum use of ambient light
Pay attention to the level of luxury and desired facilities
The amount of sunshine in the villa
Appropriate dimensions of interior spaces in a fully functional way
Creating maximum comfort for residents
Suitable windows for the bedroom
Consider wall cupboards with appropriate depth and dimensions
Suitable place for toilets and bathrooms
Convenient access to living and dining space
Pay attention to the appropriate interior landscape
Therefore, in the design stages of the villa plan, it is necessary to list a summary of the features of each space. This sets the design priorities.
