On the east side of the capital, the upper side of the City Yerevan, surrounded with mixed types of houses – (new and old) is located one of the rare and unique houses of the region. With its simple and clean design, well thought construction methods, specious and breathtaking view to the whole city (and mount Ararat) it has become an island of a “game changer”.

The building form followed the land parameter and kept simple rectangular. The natural light, energy efficiency and local/natural materials were one of the most important aspects of the builder.

For better insulation of exterior walls, windows and all opaque building components, we calculated the thicknesses of materials layer by layer to achieve heat transfer coefficients (U-values) which did not exceed 0.15W/(m2K) for the best possible thermal performance for this house in this location.

Light colors and minimalistic style of the interior was the wish. For the interior as well as for the exterior.

 

 

The facade was built by natural local stone of white Travertine. It is rare to find this special type of travertine with very little holes in it. It has a special shiny, aesthetical and elegant look. The main construction has been adopted to local seismic norms. Reinforced concrete construction as a core of buildings construction.

Passive areas, as bedrooms and bathrooms are placed on the second floor, while spaces used for active interactions (living room, kitchen, dining room ) are on the ground floor.

Most windows are west oriented. The children's bedroom looks to the East side, greeting the sunrise every early morning. Allowing children to wake up with the natural sunlight. From the other side, the master's bedroom has a sunset view.
