Cheshook Project is a truck parking and service complex located in Imam Khomeini Port, southern Iran, a key industrial hub supporting land and maritime transport for neighboring countries. The project serves as critical infrastructure for the port, directly interfacing with drivers, logistics companies, and operational units, while the buildings occupy only 4% of the 110,000 m² site.
The site’s north and south edges face two main port entrances, each with distinct users and demands. Service-oriented functions, such as restaurants, banks, and administrative offices, are located on the south facade near the administrative zone, while technical functions, including a repair workshop, logistics offices, and fire station, occupy the north facade adjacent to industrial zone. This organization activates both edges, turning the project into a dynamic infrastructural mediator.
Responding to climatic conditions (60°C and 90% humidity), design strategies were inspired by the vernacular architecture of the Persian Gulf: shading, stack effect, greenery and non-flat roofs. A trapezoidal cellular module was developed to address environmental challenges while maintaining structural clarity and flexibility, enabling controlled daylight entry and heat reduction.
The south building was designed across three levels (2,500 m²). The ground floor is recessed due to high traffic to provide effective shading and avoid direct sunlight, and the first-floor roof uses trapezoidal modules that provide daylight control, stack effect, and a non-flat roof to reduce heat. On the north building, the primary users are drivers, and efforts were made to create a sense of temporary habitation rather than only a functional stop. To reduce costs, warehouse-style structures were used and all functions are organized on a single level, with dimensions tailored to their needs and integrated with trapezoidal modules (2,700 m²).
Cheshook balances industrial requirements, energy efficiency, and user experience, transforming functional infrastructure into a resilient, humane, and climatically responsive complex
