Built
AVA
Located in Pardis Technology Park, 20 kilometers northeast of Tehran, the Administrative and Workshop Building of Ava Communications Company occupies a 500 m² plot at the end of a cul-de-sac, bordered by a pedestrian path. A decommissioned airplane on site early in the design process informed the building’s massing and form.
The program is arranged across three above-ground floors and one basement, with offices above and a workshop and parking below. The basement has independent access from the pedestrian path due to the site’s slope.
To enhance visibility at the street’s end, the top floor is rotated, carving a vertical void through the building. This multi-level atrium brings daylight and ventilation into all floors, while a suspended staircase circulates through the void, connecting all levels and shaping the spatial experience.

Vanoush Villa
Located in a winding village between the sea to the north and dense forest to the south, this weekend villa offers a new model of retreat that integrates architecture, landscape, and daily life. The compact program distributes five independent suites and shared spaces across shifting levels, balancing privacy and sociability. A gently meandering central pathway, inspired by nearby hillside trails, links all zones while incorporating informal resting spots, guiding circulation and shaping the spatial experience.
Neighboring villas to the east and west are screened for privacy, while sliding internal walls create adaptable spatial configurations and visual depth. Constructed entirely from on-site cement block, the villa emphasizes material honesty, reduces waste, and minimizes embodied carbon.
By layering spaces and distributing them across varied heights, the design dissolves rigid boundaries, creating unexpected visual and spatial connections. Circulation through the villa encourages exploration, reflection, and engagement with both the interior and surrounding landscape, redefining the contemporary weekend home as a flexible and immersive environment.

Ferdows Villa
Located in Royan, Ferdows Villa occupies an elevated plot within a seaside residential complex, connecting the Caspian Sea and nearby forests. The design transforms a conventional two-story villa into a dynamic layered composition across multiple split levels, linked through a central vertical void. Each plate overlaps or shifts, creating spatial depth, visual connections, and a dialogue between interior and exterior terraces.
The central void threads through the villa, connecting the staggered plates and terraces in a continuous spatial sequence. Subtle shifts, floating platforms, and interlocking volumes allow movement to unfold naturally, revealing unexpected views and layered relationships between spaces. The overlapping composition, combined with these vertical and horizontal connections, makes the architecture legible through both presence and perception, emphasizing the interplay of height, depth, and spatial layering.

Vault on Vault
Located in Royan, with its northern façade overlooking the Caspian Sea, this villa was designed as a temporary residence for a five-member family. The design prioritizes complete privacy within the private spaces while transforming circulation and interstitial zones into fluid spatial experiences.
Rooms are conceived as autonomous capsules, separated and suspended like floating islands, with dome-shaped roofs reinforcing individuality. Vaults serve as both structural and architectural units, rotated and layered to create novel spatial compositions while supporting vertical loads through reinforced concrete and steel.
A central staircase links the two levels, while the open interstitial spaces act as dynamic circulation paths, blurring the line between movement and space, and transforming everyday circulation into a layered, immersive architectural experience.

Sohanak pool
Located in northeastern Tehran within a private garden, the Sohank Pool and annex building sit atop a small hill, offering expansive views of the city and surrounding vegetation. The project reutilized an existing irrigation pool, expanding it and adding a pavilion-like annex with a sauna, Jacuzzi, service areas, and a large terrace serving as a diving platform and sunbathing space.
The building references a traditional Iranian kooshk, with a central void restoring visual, light, and pedestrian flow between the divided garden areas. Elevated and cantilevered, the annex appears suspended over the pool, with reflections and flowing water integrating nature into the architecture. Circulation paths connect interior and exterior spaces, making human movement an intrinsic part of the experience, alternating between dynamic activity when occupied and tranquil contemplation when empty.

Sohanak Villa
The project belongs to a religious family consisting of parents, children, uncle, grandparents, which was designed and constructed according to the plans of two residential units and a Husseiniyah (a social religious place for Shia Muslims) in three floors with a total area of 1,300 square meters. Ground floor is allocated to Husseinieh, lobby, facility space, storage room and kitchen, the first floor, which is larger, to the family of the client’s family, a total of 6 people, and the second floor to the grandfather's family with a population of 3 people.
Since, for religious reasons, strangers should not have direct access to the private living spaces of the family, and each unit has its own special guests, the overall volume is designed in boxes designed to be perpendicular to each other. This arrangement provides an astonishing view to the city for the upper floor and Hosseinyeh also sees its own private yard, while the middle unit located on the first floor belonging to the main client is the only one that has full view of the garden or yard.
A continuous line builds a continuous surface that brings together all residential units in a common mould and provides a united space for the life of this large family. In the interior design of this building elements such as niches and rafts are used in walls and horizontal beams in the roof, which is reminiscent of the space of Iranian homes.

Gate of Minousa Town
Located in a mountainous landscape near Damavand, the Minousa Residential Complex is conceived as a low-density summer village embedded within the broader Hasht Behesht development. The guardhouse marks the threshold of this emerging settlement, operating simultaneously as infrastructure and landmark. Its form is generated by the convergence of access routes, resulting in a compact triangular volume oriented toward the entrance and surrounding terrain.
The building is conceived as a layered shell rather than a singular mass. An outer skin of raw iron sheets is allowed to oxidize over time, absorbing the colors and temporality of the mountain landscape. Beneath this surface, successive structural and environmental layers establish depth and thickness, occasionally revealed through perforations that emphasize material thinness and stratification. A carved void interrupts the volume, creating visual continuity between levels and reinforcing the building’s watchful presence. Through layering, cutting, and orientation, the structure conveys solidity, visibility, and quiet vigilance.

Negar Andishegan Office
Located in Phase II of Pardis Technology Park, 20 kilometers from Tehran, this building occupies a curved site at the park’s southwestern edge, offering dynamic views along the road’s bend. The client, Negar Andishgan Company, produces electromyography (EMG) devices, inspiring a design that emphasizes layering, structural exposure, and transparency.
Each floor unfolds and rotates independently, while the façade twists and folds in three layers, controlling light, revealing the structural “skeleton,” and extending the concept into manufacturing halls, offices, and managerial spaces. Circulation centers around a central atrium, with open staircases enhancing visual connectivity and spatial fluidity.
Precast concrete panels, exposed mechanical systems, and cast-in-place slabs reinforce material honesty. The basement accommodates parking, storage, and heavy workshops, while upper floors house light manufacturing, administration, and management zones, all structured for efficient workflow.

Amaj Darman
Located 20 kilometers northeast of Tehran in Pardis Technology Park, this building serves as an administrative office and calibration laboratory for operating room equipment. Conceived as the “beating heart” of the medical zone, the design transforms a static cubic form into a fragmented, dynamic composition that conveys rhythm and movement.
Pedestrian circulation is emphasized through a zigzagging ramp that connects exterior and interior spaces across varying levels, gradually transforming the first floor into an extension of the ground. Sloped surfaces in ceilings and floors extend this sense of motion throughout the building.
Materials reference local vernacular architecture, with folded metal panels forming pitched roofs and exterior walls. Transparent glazing reveals the ramp and sloped volumes, particularly at night, while perpendicular grids contrast the dynamic forms, reinforcing both the kinetic and energetic character of the building.

Gardeshgari
The client purchased this building in the structural built stage and we were supposed to re-design its façade and two top floors which were allocated to the VIP and management areas. The structure of this part demolished and replaced in accordance with new design.
The initial idea came from the bank function as a secure place for keeping deposits. It configures as a wrapped box with metal ribbons. It illustrates a netted texture that interweaves the chaotic urban fabric together and configures a unite entity. The façade texture inspired by Iranian traditional structure called “Karbandi” which is made of a series of lines interweaving in a zigzagged manner. Subsequently, it was rotated from vertical to horizontal radiation to emphasis on horizon. The intention was not reminding the history; but it is used only for starting point. So, as a result we have an object suspended between representation and abstraction.
