Shomali Design conceives geometric Villa elevated above ground<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Sarchina Villa is a small-scale residential<\/a> project by Shomali Design conceived to minimize ground contact while strengthening the relationship between architecture and landscape. The primary volume is elevated above the site and supported by four inverted-cone white brick<\/a> columns. These structural elements lift the building clear of the terrain, preserving visual and physical continuity at ground level and allowing grass, air, and movement to pass beneath the structure.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The elevation creates a shaded patio below the main volume, extending the usable space of the villa while reinforcing its lightweight presence. The overall form is defined by a simple, compact geometry, organized as a clear and balanced volume.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The concept by creative duo<\/a> Yaser Rashid Shomali and Yasin Rashid Shomali of Shomali Design is inspired by vernacular building traditions and traditional shelters. A pitched thatched roof defines Sarchina Villa\u2019s upper silhouette. The reed covering references local construction methods and climate-responsive strategies, while contributing to the building\u2019s environmental performance. In contrast, a transparent glazed facade combined with dark structural framing emphasizes openness and establishes continuous visual connections.<\/p>\n
