Design Details

Unique Properties: Nature as the basis and source of life is a space for respect and respiration. Man must pursue a life integrated with nature with the least harm to it like a kind friend to experience two-way peace in this life. Man experiences a lot of peace (from a psychological point of view) when he is in nature. Now this position becomes more beautiful and is a vital organ when it corresponds to the life of the living beings in his living environment. Therefore, the building is built in such a way around the river that crosses the mountain, in addition to not obstructing its passage,
Inspiration: The idea for this project was formed concerning this issue and inspired by the cells of the body, how they finally came together peacefully and to being fully connected, they become meaningless without each other and form a friendly community that pursues a higher goa
Research: In this Design two main branches were studied. First Human and its internal and external needs and then nature and how the design adapts to it with the least possible damage. human was studied from a psychological perspective and the need to touch nature to satisfy the need for peace of mind, and how a misunderstanding of technology can make a person an anxious creature and the use of this technology to create peace in him. As well as trying to minimize the intervention in order to destroy the natural flow of the river and nature on the site , so The river flows through the building .
Challenge: Considering that technology basically causes Human to stay away from nature and increases his anxiety. The biggest challenge of this design was to create a space tied in nature to shape this connection again, but in a way that is at the heart of technology so that this feeling can be created in the newest world of technology, Metavars.
Realization and Technology: KEYS Token is a utility token that acts as a key to Its ecosystem. To access the products in this ecosystem, you must hold KEYS. the technology has been provided in metaverse . "Metamansions" is developing its own metaverse powered by KEYS Token with top VR/AR and game engine developers.
Operation and Interaction: Although this idea and design were made in the new world of Metaverse, it is hoped that this respect can be pursued in the real world as well. Therefore, even if this virtual world is supposed to be the virtual residence of human beings. If it is combined with nature, it will be more beautiful so that technology does not become the reason for human beings' distance from nature and peace, and on the contrary, becomes a platform for remembering and simulating this wonderful feeling.
Specifications: this design include generally 5 floors , each floor has 4,20 Meter height The building area is about 1,400 Square meter and about the same measure for the green site which is combined with nature site .
