The project is located at Karaj - Alborz province - Iran . The land is a north- south rectangle with the dimensions 12 m * 18 m , and it is limited to an eight-meter passageway in the south side and a six-meter one in the north side.
The functional strategy of the design in this land that receives light in both north and south sides : put the private zone in the north side and the public zone in the south side, both with ideal light. The service zone was located between these two parts. Having faced the function like this, we caused such clearness in planning without any complicated expression. This clarity is presented in the façade too, by unifying the body elements of the project (facade, roof, the wall of parking floor and the yard). The outcome was a double-skin glass façade. This panoramic façade has made a completely transparent shell in the wall. By designing a middle space between the outdoor bright environment and the hall, the connection of inside and outside the building was purified. This quality was made by both altering the amount of light in these spaces which was done by the glass balconies located in the interspace.
Structure and installation in general: post tension structure is used in this building to provide longer spans and more useful spaces inside the building. Using this structure brought out other advantages, like having the best parking spaces and also preparing the better layout for inner spaces. Heating packeges and ducted splits are used as heating and cooling systems in this project. To remove the radiators , the gayser of the package was linked to coil of the splits, so that all the heating and cooling systems were located in the suspended ceiling space.
