Description: paliz alley emerged in citrus groves in the heart of behshahr,
whose occupancy has been changing over the past few years, giving up the
space to residential buildings.
The name selected could be a reminder of what the area once used to be, and
could probably heal the wounds of the trees cut down. ( paliz in persian language
means the garden).
paliz is a blind alley, 60 percent of whose area has so far been under
construction . The project site is located in the end of the alley , and is flanked
by a 6-meter wide dead-end on either side.
The lands in the two dead-ends are different from other tracts, because they are
overshadowed by other taller apartment buildings across from them, and do not
have a pleasant landscape.( According to the regulations set by the Municipality, 2 levels
above the ground floor , while the buildings across from them , are 3 to 4 levels above the ground
floor.)
Commencement of the design; the design idea:
the design idea was formed of three issues that initially concerned us:
First: lack of a pleasant landscape and view from inside the site for the
occupants
Second: the climate in Behshahr and the humid weather accompanied by the
relatively higher temperature as compared with the cities to the west of
Mazandaran in summer, the excessive rainfall in the winter, and the high
humidity of the soil, which would end in the destruction of the building even
despite good insulation.
Third: the employee’s concerns, which were mainly about the aesthetics and
visual qualities of the building. As the land parcel was small, covering an area
of only 200 sqm , he instructed us to build a larger, more magnificent structure
than could be constructed in such area.
After closely examining the challenges ahead , we came up with an integrated
model to address all the issues regarding the building and its south elevation.
The model sent to the employer would feature the following:
1. Building up the structure over a ground floor in order to provide the desirable
view considering the taller building across from the site, which would otherwise
block the landscape of our project; the ground floor was also the answer to the
problem of humidity as a current of air underneath the building would prevent
the damage.
2. Dividing the facade into 4 sections, including two projections and two
depressions ,create pressure and suction on the facade, to allow the fresh air to
be sucked into the building,( natural ventilation and air circulation ) and thus to
eliminate the need for chilling devices.
Another solution worked out was the use of two different types of material for
the facade to further facilitate and to speed up the process:
a. white paint to reflect the sunlight.
b. and wood, which features a high thermal capacity, and can lower the
temperature fluctuations inside the building.
• The projections were meant to create the air current and to shade the building.
• The absence of such shades in the parts with depressions was rectified by
louver.
3.The employer’s desire to have a magnificent, muscular guise was reflected in
the facade boxes and the fractures around the windows where the boxes were
absent.
