The Garden Residence by Aknoon Architects draws inspiration from Shiraz’s traditional garden-centric lifestyle, reimagining the relationship between nature and urban living. Rather than treating the garden as a decorative backdrop, Aknoon approached it as an independent element, harmoniously integrated with the villa’s architecture. The residence is intentionally nestled behind a canopy of trees, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor transition that blurs boundaries and immerses the viewer in a continuous landscape. This approach allows the home to 'rediscover' its garden through a courtyard concept that preserves intimacy while celebrating natural beauty. Architectural photographers will find the Garden Residence rich in layers, perspectives, and textures, ideal for capturing the delicate interplay between built and natural spaces.
