The place in which concepts come to reality, an architecture studio is the bedrock of the architect’s mind, a space for idea flow and creation. The design is the examining the relation between the work flow and managing organization and the context of office space more specifically architectural studio. The challenges were distribution of natural lights in all of the sub-space moreover, solving the uneven boundaries of the existing space.

Demolished areas For the preparing the base of the office for the renovation the one extra bathroom and the extra part of the duct was demolished. The demolishing of the bathroom gave the desire open space of the atelier. The uneven orientation of the columns and the south and east side of the building is solved in the design of the closets, walls and flower boxes creating even, readable spaces. The office has been designed along two main axes of the entrance which creates the lobby and on east the managerial spaces and in the west wing leads to the atelier. The ceiling is composited by the iron profile which give directions in the studio as it’s the case on the ground. These horizontal profiles on ground and on top are connected by vertical profile columns. The lighting which are consisted of rail linier and point lights are mounted on these profiles.

As the hustle and bustle of the urban life grows, the meaning of habitation and co-habitation is fading. In this case the client has purchased a piece of land outside of the city limits in more rural areas and required a place for family gathering for weekends and holidays.
Associates Hamid Hosseini, Ershad Shirani
The goal was to design a modest accommodation which would have emphasis on open areas. Moreover, it needed to answer all of clients everyday needs and requirements.

By designing different yards in case of height and privacy levels the building is shaped by the open areas. Replicating the traditional big garden yards in current construction culture it was required to divide the open spaces in the vertical axis.

WHERE LIES THE FRIEND”S HOUSE Isfahan-Iran Kooche Magazine Competition, 2022 Associates Vahid Mizbani
In the past, organic urban development created a natural connection among neighborhood houses, fostering social cohesion. Today, top-down urban planning has led to a scarcity of connections, turning houses into isolated environments. To address this, we've redefined empty spaces, creating a hierarchy that includes the neighborhood courtyard, upper level, and house courtyard. This approach, inspired by the relationship between older houses in Isfahan and their neighborhoods, establishes a healthy connection and dynamic path for neighborhood development.

Living Room
Inside the house, two defined areas of interaction exist. The private living space revolves around the "house courtyard," maintaining complete privacy. The open and flexible area, with independent access, supports various uses and has a direct connection with the "upper level." Properly regulating this relationship between the house and neighborhood through appropriate hierarchies fosters residents' cohesion and ownership of the neighborhood.

RESIDENTIAL COMPLEX
Tehran-Iran Kooche Magazine Competition, 2021
North, Amirieh neighborhood
The competition is about designing a residential apartment complex in the Amirieh neighborhood in downtown Tehran. It challenges the participates to not consider the current urban regulations and design the building to be the arch-model for future expansions of the neighborhood moreover, solving the decay of the city’s urban fabric. Amirieh is in central area of tehran. The building density is high and have a repetitive pattern. The neighborhood is mainly worn-out and have traditional contemporary facades. The location of the building is in an imagenary area in the Amirieh neighborhood.

Changing the urban fabric
The cities are suffocating by over-densifying the building masses. Moreover, it’s taking peoples living space. Therefore, both city and people need new guidelines to get the sufficient space and oxygen.
Proposing to reduce the area of each floor by at least 15% will decrease the density of city in elevation, moreover, each land will have distinctive height potential according to their area in this case there is no need to put a height limit for building.

Sina residnetial Complex
Neighborhood plaza
In design of a residential complex the attention should be both on the apartments and the public circulation of the building equally. The connection from the street to the houses should make the building more dynamic in a matter of speaking making it “complex”. In our design we are relating the public circulation to the light and wind control, as we bring light in the buildings by voids in the connections and also making a good ventilation in the building by making holes in the facade of the building.

The heart of the project is the accessibility of movement and vison. The residents can interact with each other even in different levels. Moreover, the openings bring the water-way and the park inside of the building. The roof being open bring the natural light to the circulation. The voids act as a buffer between apartment (private areas) and circulation (public areas).

The study focuses on sustainable and resilient strategies in architecture, exemplified by a project in Sella Valley, Italy, affected by a storm in October 2018. The use of bamboo, chosen for its ecological benefits and adaptability, plays a key role in designing a museum, an auditorium, and artists' ateliers for Arte Sella Contemporary Mountain, fostering a harmonious coexistence of humanity and nature.

Museum of desapeared works
“The museum of disappeared works” is located across Villa Strobele; welcoming visitors at the very beginning of the primary path leading to Malga Costa, and open-air artwork exhibiting path “Arte Natura”. Inspired by the fixed and mutable duality of the landscape; the thick, curved masonry walls are representing the mountains tectonic stability, whilst the light, tenuous, mild bamboo walls represent the erratic, dynamic growth of the vegetation of the valley.

The museum is a continuity of the path; inviting visitors without a clear boundary of privacy or artificiality. The path leading people into the exhibition continues with no interruption; making the museum ground no different than the surface of the mountain itself. The natural light beaming through the sharp cuts through walls onto the tall, bare bamboo columns are embodiment of the emotions left after the storm; commemorating the hundreds of dead, fallen trunks.
22
Artist’s atelier Artists’ ateliers are 4 small cabins located along the valley between Villa Strobele and Malga Costa; aimed at accommodating artists invited by Arte Sella to contribute to their open-air exhibition. In addition to the basic functions as bathroom, kitchen, and bedroom; the cabins have an open and closed space for working. Arte Sella’s statement regarding the works in their collection “living a profound symbiosis with nature” is taken as a guiding motto for the designing of spaces. Resilience and safety is given by the concrete masonry unit cores of the building; enveloped by an intangible light framing of bamboo; inspired by the traditional architectonic of the region.

In human scale; a horizontally linear, curved volume intersects with a sharp triangular volume; enhancing the buildings connection with the coniferous background. While the A-frame core and the curved, organic extension of masonry walls give a soft sense of enclosure of the mountain peaks; a bamboo based reinterpretation of the typical A-frame is providing the artists to be wrapped in a layer of nature. Skylights are shaded with bamboo cladding; letting light beam through bamboo culms and woven roofing mats into the interiors; providing a unique experience and view; involving the sky, enveloping nature-based structure, and the tips of the pine trees surrounding the houses. Lime mortar finishing is a complementary choice for the natural materials of the site; moreover, ladder access to the upper suspended floor is another complementary practice to strengthen the natural connection. Movement of the atelier area, modern interpretation of traditional structure, and a balanced use of static form and dynamic materiality provides artists a sensual experience in the woods; allowing them to safely surrender to the natures isolation and create purest forms of art with no distraction.
25
Auditorium The Auditorium of Arte Sella is the most publicly exposed member of the design program; making it the most representative element of the art, nature and architecture composition. Located at the near-bottom of the northern wing of the valley; auditorium’s form is complementing the slanted natural topography through a geometrically contrasting roof. When viewed from afar during the stroll on the path Arte Natura; the converse slanted roof stabbed into the hill maximizes the versant topography. Landscaping with gradually lowering vegetation is designed to aid the blending of the formal contrast into the site. The auditorium is surrounded with the phenomenal, seraphic silhouettes of surrounding mountains; to highlight the aforemen-

Canal dock
Bugo farmstead is in a village in the municipality of Ozzero of Milan province. It’s located near Bereguardo canal where wetlands are created along it seasonally. Moreover, a bike path exists alongside the canal going towards Milan. The regeneration goal of some under-used buildings in the farmstead is to create a recreational center utilizing the canal as a transportation hub. 28
Existing State:
Bugo hub consists of two preexisting buildings which are transformed to a hotel and a multifunctional recreational center and two new constructed buildings near canal as bike station, café and a docking bay for boat renting.
