The spatial division of the interior is achieved through the strategic alteration of ground and wall materials, creating smaller, visuallydefined areas. This effect is further emphasized through the inclusion of directional louvers, and an arrangement of long bar artificial lighting, which work together to create a continuous perspectival louvers. The design intent was to generate a sense of continuity within the space, achieved by integrating the louvers seamlessly from the ceiling to the walls. Given the lack of external windows, a mirror was incorporated to respectfully acknowledge the absence of natural light. The porosity of the louvers' textureservesadualpurpose:theventsallow fresh air to circulate throughout the gym, while the transparency between the louvers creates the illusion of greater height within thespace.

Villa Kaylan is a single family house that is characterized by three distinct cubes. The central cube has been uniquely extruded towards the western and southern directions. While this extension of eight feet beyond the structure presented significant engineering complexities, it nonetheless celebrates the breathtaking views of the property's western facade. To mitigate the effects of harsh sunlight, operable porous bricks have been employed toprovideadegreeofshading.Theexterior facadehasbeenfinishedusingacombination ofbrickandwhitecement,whicheffectively withstandstheextremewinterconditionsof theruralDamavandregionoutsideTehran.

this design is about the logics, generics and genetics of cities, through the medium of the fabric(s) that both constitute and characterize them. Since these fabrics are often primarily residential in nature, the design provides with an entry into the arena of housing design, without consigning it, as many “housing designs” do, to the status of an autonomous type or field of expertise divorced from propositions about heterogeneous cities and the collective life and broad arrays of programs that they enable.

Between Architecture: in considering the Parking Garage alongside the Gym, there is a clear emphasis on the movement and circulation of people and things. As the demands of each component of the design necessitate an extended distribution in section, so too both continuity and discontinuities in sequence and movement. to both develop a strategy of organization, and to then develop a strategy of circulation that can advance the spatial ambitions while establishing coherence and legibility for use. Managing the interface between gym and parking, between car and person, will necessitate an attitude towards ramps and threshold, and all of their possible expressions.

Necropolis is a vertical cemetery and death process company that challenges traditional death architecture. Its half-enclosed building design features narrow slits that provide privacy and enhance spirituality. The building's parking structure-like design allows for a lack of fully enclosed spaces since users do not require long-term occupancy. Since the topic of death is often avoided, this approach seeks to maintain privacy and discretion for those who engage with the Necropolis building. TSince users do not have extended periods of occupancywithinthebuilding,theydonotneeda completely protected space. The Necropolis building design is a thoughtful and innovative approach that challenges traditional perceptionsofdeathandarchitecture.

The aim of this project is to reimagine substations in Los Angeles by thoughtfully aggregating form-related masses and respecting the urban fabric. Substationsshouldnotbeviewedsolely as a piece of land filled with electrical and bulky equipment, but rather as an opportunity to manipulate urban fabrics and elevate the surrounding neighborhoods. This project seeks to transform substations into considerate urbanelements.

The clients re uested a design for their kitchen layout and a material survey for the cabinetry, including a range of options for color and style. Initially, they had assumed they wanted a uniform color throughout, but we presented the option of mi ing colors which they found appealing. We also surveyed available materials in the market for the backsplash and countertop to ensure a cohesive design.
