Green architecture studio is located on the 9th floor (top floor) of an official building in Mashhad (Iran's second largest city). Interior design of the architecture studio was based on the integration of work and life. Paying attention to sustainable features was taken into account as well. These features have been considered not only in employing new energies but also in creating a sense of belonging to the environment.
There are 3 basic sections in designing this project: 1-Studio, 2. Living room, 3 Terrace (yard)
In designing the studio, considering transparency, using different colors to create a pleasant working environment, and integrating with nature were significant. A living room that has been designed with the pattern of traditional houses of Iran, has been located in the heart of the working environment and in relation with water and trees. Situating this drawing room in the center of the office area provides the users with the opportunity to combine work and life. Iran’s past architectural ideas like frame within a frame, reflection, play of light and shadow, nature (water and tree), transparency, and color and dynamism flavored with the modern interest of modernism has been of significant importance in this place. Plants are irrigated using an automate system that works with photovoltaic cells. In the outside yard (terrace) there is a small garden where vegetables are planted for personnel’s daily use.
