In the design phase of the Miyan Residential Complex on Abumusa Island in the Persian Gulf by Amir Hossein Afzali Architects , the primary focus has been on creating a delicate balance between the natural landscape, functional needs, and social interactions. The name of the project reflects a philosophy that emphasizes harmony between humans, nature, and society—as if the buildings have naturally emerged from the earth and gently extended along the island’s topography.
One of the key principles in Miyan’s design is respecting neighbors’ views of the sea and urban landscape. Building heights are carefully regulated to preserve natural vistas for all residents and surrounding neighbors, ensuring that no obstacles interrupt the beauty of the environment. This respect for sightlines and visual privacy enhances the sense of belonging and tranquility for both residents and the broader community.
The core design concept draws inspiration from organic forms, integrating structures within the natural landscape rather than imposing them upon it. This approach minimizes visual disruption while offering residents a rich, immersive experience of nature.
A defining feature of Miyan is the orientation of its main axes toward the sea—establishing a bridge between living spaces and the surrounding environment. This connection goes beyond visual experience; it evokes a constant sense of presence within nature. Additionally, public spaces such as the mosque, shops, and community services are strategically placed along key pathways, encouraging natural and effortless interactions between residents and visitors.
In areas facing the military zone, buildings are designed without openings—such as doors or windows—to maintain privacy and security. Even here, a balance between protection and access to natural light has been achieved. Furthermore, as buildings approach surrounding streets, their height gradually decreases to create a soft, harmonious connection with the urban fabric and to respect the visual privacy of neighboring properties.
Ultimately, Miyan—with its thoughtful integration of private and public spaces, and its careful attention to climate, sightlines, and social dynamics—offers a compelling model for future residential development on Boumusa Island. It demonstrates how a balance between humanity, architecture, and nature can be achieved in a meaningful and beautiful way.
