” Everywhere I am, sky is mine ”
The word “Everywhere” in the poem of the contemporary poet, Sohrab Sepehri, it seams pointing home.
The house, with increasing population, lost a pleasant courtyard and the little balcony took the place and deprived us of looking to sky. The courtyard which solving a thousand problems.
the coolness of summer nights and the gentle warmth of the winter’s sun that gathered family in the open area to enjoy the fresh air. That was a bridge for a slow walk from the outside to inside the house.
The courtyards, as climate change, had the lung function of our neighborhood and a serious role in our communications, communications that are now the main problem for these days. In fact, the Sohrab’s Apartment was a model for sustainability and development.
In design prosses of Sohrab’s apartment we try to study sustainable development of a building from different aspects and give a positive answer to it. The sustainability of the building is not only related to environmental factors and more factors are involved in it. In Sohrab’s apartment, we tried to address various aspects, including cultural and social problems, energy, environment and futurism.

Facade design competition of Yousef Abad

/in , , , /by

The main idea of designing this facade, shaped when we realized, in Yousef Abad of Tehran There is a rule for apartments that one face of stair’s box must be semi-open. In other word, they must located the stair in the facade, so the stair can be semi-open.
We deleted that face to have a open staircase.
In the next post we will explain why we deleted that face.
We know the stair is heart of every apartment
but in last years because of elevator is useless. We
spot the stair as a open space, in this way it can create
a dynamic and active space for people in the
apartment. We didn’t want to hide the stair we designed
the stair as a main dynamic element in our facade. To
controlling the shadow and sunlight we designed
second element of our dynamic facade that is rolling
sunshades. The people in apartment can control it for
themselves, in this way we have different looking
facade in different time of the day.
to controlling the skyline of street we designed the roof garden for people in apartment. even though we can improve the quality of living when we have roof garden in the apartment.
For entrance facade we was inspired by historical architecture of Iran and our old streets. on those houses we saw a welcoming area and sitting benches in entrance so people in the street can sit there and rest or even like old days they watch the people in street.
