Villa Anahid

Completion · 2026.

The Vision

Villa Anahid is conceived as a sanctuary of light, reflection, and renewal—a residence shaped by the enduring symbolism of its namesake. Named after Anahid, the ancient Persian goddess associated with purity, water, and life, the villa draws upon themes of serenity, beauty, and restoration.

Water serves as both element and metaphor throughout the composition. Reflecting pools, shifting light, and carefully framed views dissolve the boundary between landscape and sky, creating an atmosphere of calm and contemplation.

The result is a residence where physical form, landscape, and light exist in quiet harmony—designed to inspire a lasting sense of peace, belonging, and renewal.

Featured in Robb Report, the San Francisco Standard, and The Real Deal.
