The strategic location of Amirkabir boulevard at the entrance point of Shiraz city, provides quick and convenient access to the whole city. The proximity to large- scale urban gardens is very effective in the region’s weather. The concept of designing this green tall complex with mixed- use (commercial- residential uses) is to provide a model for vertical condensation of nature within the city as well as a model for urban regeneration. one of the goals of the design has been to reproduce the green spaces required by the city, vertically to reduce noise, environmental pollution and enhance the aesthetic of the city. Accessible green balconies are designed in all units. This complex has 444 units accommodates a variety of 1,2 and 3 bedroom units for different groups.

This project is a model for vertical density of nature in the city and is also a model for urban regeneration and functional refinement.

The goal is to reproduce 1 hectare of green space vertically to reduce noise and environmental pollution, as well as to improve the level of aesthetics in the city.

Balconies in all units, floors and facades are designed with trees and shrubs decorated in the form of planters. Access to green balconies through units on all floors has also been a design strategy.

Also, emptying the volume in 5 floors in order to create a public space for social interactions of the residents of the complex has been one of the most important design goals.

Different layers of project uses

Retrofit Project - Drewry . Toronto

In Phase 1, the reconstruction and retrofitting project of building Catholic Children’ s Aid Society of Toronto located in 30 Drewry Avenue, Toronto, Ontario was aimed at the reconstruction and retrofitting of the building facade. This project has 5 floors with 1 floor parking in the basement, has a view of brown brick that has cracked and got wet in some parts. As the building is to be converted into an office complex, a modern look has been provided at the request of the employer. For this purpose, colored aluminum materials have been used to cover the facade.
