The project is located in a small industrial city near Tehran, shaped by challenging economic and social conditions, with its landscape dominated by warehouses, trucks, laborers, construction noise, environmental debris, airborne particulates, and monotonous buildings.
As urbanization progresses and migration to the capital increases, the growth of industrial towns on Tehran’s outskirts has become inevitable. Qods City exemplifies this trend, where vacant land has been rapidly replaced by residential developments. Within this industrial backdrop, we now witness the coexistence of three distinct conditions: residential buildings in purely residential contexts, residential buildings within industrial contexts, and industrial buildings within industrial contexts. This project belongs to the second category.
Although designing residential buildings in such environments is not unprecedented, past attempts often failed to provide truly livable spaces. After long hours of work in industrial settings, residents return to compact, restrictive homes. Meanwhile, women and children staying at home face the daily challenge of shielding themselves from the harsh and unpleasant external conditions.
Our objective was to alleviate these shortcomings by dedicating part of the house to improve the quality of life. We introduced an intermediary space—one that functions partly as an indoor environment for certain activities, yet also maintains a beneficial connection with the outdoors.
Through this intervention, the intermediary space becomes a place of comfort, enabling residents to live freely without exposure to prying eyes or the unattractive industrial surroundings. In essence, the design does not merely “open the box” but introduces a filter—transforming the uninviting external context into a vibrant and livable internal environment.
Ultimately, the focus of this project was on addressing human needs and everyday life, rather than solely the architectural form.
