Architecture Office Complex Academic Project | Tehran, Iran | Spring 2012
The project of this academic term was designing an office complex in the north of Tehran. The 9-storey building is a complex of architecture offices, a shopping centre, a rooftop restaurant, etc. The form of the building was shaped based on the different viewpoints in its surrounding. Thus, the form has several turns and twisted especially to the north and north-east where it faces Niavaran Cultural Centre, Niavaran Palace Complex and Niavaran park. The facade of the building is set by a structural concrete belt with series glazing windows providing vast areas for viewing the surrounding. Besides, it was attempted to have fewer changes in the site and use all of its potentials. For this aim, all the trees were kept in this proposal and mixed them with the building.

Velayat Hotel Professional Project | Mashhad, Iran | Summer 2016 Status: Under Construction
Velayat hotel in Mashhad had been designed by another architect. The office was invited to this project for redesigning its facade. The critical point of the project was creating harmony between the rotating part of the building and other parts. In addition, some changes imposed on the designed plans (especially the lobby) to improve unity between new sections and other ones.
Responsibility • Worked on different stages of design steps from early sketches to finalise the new facade • Prepared drawings and construction details for the main facade

Gido Residential Complex Professional Project | Tbilisi, Georgia | Winter 2016 - Spring 2017 Status: Idea
This projected was proposed a seven-storey building in a site in Tbilisi. A building formed by the idea of modernizing Georgian traditional architecture in the contemporary city. Thus, the proposal considered the building as a chance for adding new features to its vicinity dominated by Communism architecture and offering a new connection between the past and present of Tbilisi. Also, the plot has a desirable view of the city which led the architects to design large windows providing a perfect vision for inhabitants.
Responsibility • Involved in site analysis and schematic design step of the project • Created design concepts and solutions via sketches, diagrams, and 3D models

Hedayat Square Academic Project | Tehran, Iran | Spring 2016
Hedayat Square is part of the modern development of northern Tehran in the middle of the 20th century. In the post-revolution era, urban intervenes has negative impacts on its spatial fabric. The aim of this project was offering new solutions for the distribution of urban space and building density in order to return stability to the urban life of dwellers/users of this square.

Touran Residential Complex Professional Project | Tehran, Iran | Spring 2016 Status: Under Construction
This project was a turning point for the office. The main challenge of it was answering this question: “whether adhering to the patterns of Iranian architecture- which in the experience of small scale cultural, religious, diplomatic and residential projects worked well- can have valuable responses to the contemporary life; to be specific, what is its approach for a 13 storey building in a northern neighbourhood in Tehran.
Responsibility • Participated in phases of design development (DD) and schematic design (SD) of the project • Made a variety of design documents for presenting designs and alternatives to the client

Guest House of Iran Minister for Foreign Affairs Professional Project | Karbala, Iraq | Autumn 2016 Status: Idea
This guest house in the heart of the old city of Karbala was a place for accommodating Iranian diplomats residing in this area and also politicians who travel to this city to visit the shrines. Therefore, the purpose of this project is somewhere between house and hotels. Also, security criteria and consideration which are necessary for this type of locations (especially in Iraq) have impacted on the design schemes of different elements of this building.
Responsibility • Shaped the form of the building and its connection to the skyline of its periphery • Provided alternatives for distribution of functions in the residential plans

Model Making - Alborz High School Academic Project | Tehran, Iran | Spring 2010
As a part of the term scheme, it was requested to present a building through an architecture model and report. For this aim. The main building of Alborz High School was selected which was one of the symbols of Art Deco architecture in Iran. This school was designed by Nikolai Markov in 1924 and constructed a year later. For making the 1:100 scale model, the facades were formed by three layers to represent building ornaments besides bare the load of different parts of this model. On the other hand, the foundation of this maquette was planned to provide a place for the report hard copy. As the best work, this architectural model is located in the library of Architecture and Urban Planning Faculty of Shahid Beheshti University.
Provided Documents • Architectural Model • Report

Hand Drawing
One of the ways of collecting data for my academic/ professional works is hand drawing records. I have sketched buildings or urban space to capture relations between parts and the whole of the project context. Besides, these illustrations have helped me to understand the social layer of space by depicting the everyday life of people in the worked areas. I have used this technique continuously during theses years in various works to enrich my design process and strengthen this ability.
