Tehran, Iran
Type
STATUS
Built
YEAR
2018
SIZE
10,000 sqft - 25,000 sqft
The Niavaran Residential Building is designed on an 800-square-meter plot with a 40% site coverage, rising eight stories above ground. The project comprises eight residential units, each measuring 285 square meters, all benefiting from dual-aspect natural light and cross-ventilation.
The main (northern) façade overlooks an expansive garden belonging to a welfare and health center, where the likelihood of future construction is minimal. Given the narrow width of the adjacent street and the building’s vertical proportion, the tower appears as if it has been placed within the courtyard of a garden, rather than along an urban edge.
From the outset, one of the primary design intentions was to evoke the image of a contemporary “Persian garden tower” — a vertical community where the sense of neighborliness and friendly interaction among residents is expressed through the façade itself. In this regard, the staircase was positioned along the main elevation, allowing its connective form to become an architectural feature and a symbolic mediator between units.
The side façades are composed of brick, white cement, and wood. Brick is used in its simplest and most unadorned form to convey warmth and intimacy, while white cement reinforces contrast and contributes to a brighter, more domestic character. Wood elements further soften the composition and enhance the tactile quality of the exterior.
At a conceptual level, the façade seeks to resemble a miniature painting of a tall building: neighbors conversing through balconies and windows, and trees recalling the spatial memory of traditional Iranian cities. The project aspires to reinterpret the collective spirit of local urban life within a contemporary residential typology.
