The Emarat Vertical Campus was conceived to redefine the concept of workspace within the dense urban fabric of Tehran. In this city, policies favoring high-density development and rigid regulations have often led to introverted office towers isolated from city life. This project proposes an alternative approach to organizing workspaces within these constraints.
The design addresses two scales at once. At the urban scale, it transforms an infill plot into a building active on all four facades. At the human scale, it moves beyond conventional office typologies to create an environment that fosters belonging, enhances experience, and strengthens the connection between work and life.
The conceptual framework draws on the spatial logic of Iranian house architecture. Spaces are organized around a central courtyard, allowing interaction, visual continuity, and spatial breathing. This inspired the idea of a vertical campus, translating the social and environmental qualities of horizontal corporate campuses into a vertical form suited to dense cities.
By relocating circulation cores and structural elements to the perimeter and setting the volume back from site edges, the design achieves transparency not possible in the classic core and shell typology that produces independent floors. Here, floors are layered around a central atrium, maintaining visual and spatial connections.
The central atrium becomes the social and environmental heart of the building. Around it, spaces range from private work zones to informal meeting areas, shared workspaces, and terraces. Variation in daylight, fresh air, and outdoor access creates atmospheres and removes dependency on a single operational scenario.
The program includes a plaza, ground-floor retail, offices, units, and co-work. Continuous visual connections between floors reinforce a home-like experience while preserving independence.
The Emarat Vertical Campus presents a buildable model for vertical campuses in urban infill contexts, offering a social and human-centered alternative to isolated office towers in dense cities.
