Novera Tower
Sorkhrud, Iran
NOVERA Tower emerges from a simple observation: although located on the Caspian coastline of northern Iran, its urban context increasingly resembles the density and compression of a metropolitan environment. Towers continue to rise, open horizons gradually disappear, and many of the spatial qualities traditionally associated with the northern coast are progressively diminished.
Rather than accepting this condition, the project seeks to retain and reintroduce these qualities within the architecture itself. The design is conceived as a response to the loss of openness, environmental connection, and collective spatial experience that often accompanies contemporary high-density development.
A series of shared courtyards, sky courts, and vertical voids are distributed throughout the tower, creating opportunities for pause, encounter, and engagement with the surrounding landscape. Positioned at different levels, these spaces provide residents with access to light, air, views, and communal life beyond the boundaries of their individual units. Together, they establish a continuous spatial network that extends through the height of the building.
The project's spatial organization is structured around the integration of these courtyards, voids, and service layers. Interwoven across multiple levels, they distribute daylight, natural ventilation, movement, and social activity throughout the tower, forming a system that operates as a vertical lung. Rather than functioning as isolated architectural elements, they work collectively to bring environmental and social qualities deep into the building's interior.
As a residential–hospitality development, NOVERA accommodates a wide range of living, recreational, and shared amenities while fostering a stronger relationship between architecture, community, and landscape. Instead of emphasizing the image of a singular, enclosed tower, the project reimagines dwelling as a series of interconnected social clusters. Elevated communal spaces create opportunities for repeated encounters and informal interaction, encouraging a more enduring sense of neighborhood within a vertical environment.
Located on the first coastal plot, the project further extends this idea through permeability. Public movement is allowed to pass through the site, maintaining a connection between the shoreline and the urban fabric beyond. In this sense, NOVERA is conceived not as a barrier along the coast, but as an open framework for passage, connection, and collective experience; an architecture that seeks to preserve and reinterpret the qualities that make the coast meaningful.
