Located on a 500-square-meter plot at the end of a cul-de-sac in Pardis Technology Park, the Administrative and Workshop Building of Ava Communications Company transforms a constrained, peripheral site into an opportunity for architectural invention. Early in the process, a decommissioned airplane was installed on the property as a sculptural object—an unexpected intervention that decisively shaped the project’s massing and spatial logic.
The program is distributed across three levels of administrative offices above a basement workshop and parking. While the main entrance is on the ground floor, the site’s slope allows for an independent workshop entry from the pedestrian path along the eastern edge.
Given the building’s position at the terminus of a dead-end street, the top floor is subtly rotated toward the viewer, generating a dynamic relationship with the approach. This gesture produces a curved rear volume that aligns with the adjacent pedestrian route and creates a respectful setback from the airplane’s wing. The deformation also forms a deep vertical void along the western façade, beginning at a skylight and descending through all floors to the basement.
This void is not merely a façade articulation—it is carved through the building’s mass, creating a multi-level atrium that brings daylight and natural ventilation to all levels. The structural system follows this logic: columns along the central spine tilt in response to the rotated volume, meeting vertical supports at branching, tree-like junctions. Originally conceived entirely in concrete, the structure incorporates steel at critical intersections, generating a tactile dialogue between materials.
Circulation further amplifies the concept of spatial movement. A suspended metal staircase winds through the central void, immediately visible upon entry. Its shifting geometry frames an orchestrated ascent, revealing the building’s evolving light, volume and structural rhythm.
