3.3 Architectural case study 2
3.3.1 General information and Project Brief Case 3 : Turbosealtech New Incubator and Office building .
(New Wave Architecture 2022)
- Architect : New Wave Architecture
- Area : 1300 m2
- Year : 2022
- Location : Tehran , Iran
Background Information :
- The project is located in Pardis Technology Park, in the suburb of Tehran, which aims to provide a platform for people to research and innovate.The design approach focused on an interaction between technology, site, function, and landscape. With considerations toward continuity of site views, heat control, and function of the building, the form was generated. The volume of the building is drawn out of the ground, creating a visually beautiful skyline and harmony with the environment.
(New Wave Architecture 2022)

3.3.2 Why this case
- Focused on how distributed the Spaces, depending on each one's need for it .
- The concept is unique and designed in an unusual way.
- Form concept .
- Façade design .

3.3.3 Analysis
- Concept philosophy:
To preserve the site's skyline and scenery, the volume is dragged out of the earth with a thirty-degree slop, the best angle for solar panels on its green roof . Its triangular corner on the north side of volume encouraged designers to put an entrance there to draw visitors in. (New Wave Architecture 2022)
- facade : Transparency and natural light are crucial elements in façade design for dynamic workplaces . (New Wave Architecture 2022)
- For connectivity, organize buildings elements in pyramid form by dividing the whole program into horizontal levels that are well connected vertically by transparent lifts with three open sides . (New Wave Architecture 2022)

- Offices will be on upper levels and workhouses on lower levels, with a transparent enclosure in the building's entrance to show visitors company production.


- Terraces have multifunctional roles in building ; “ The upper one is for visitors and users to gathering , while the below ones are employee rest areas” .
Hall for workshops


During design , these peak spots were prioritized : (New Wave Architecture 2022)
- site view continuity
- Heat control
- Renewal energy usage
- Water collecting
Solution :There is a sharp slice in the inclined roof helps to conduct light indirectly to the terraces in lower levels, and it creates an opportunity to have passive ventilation in this location of the building , which both of them help to have comfort zones in terraces.
3.3.4 Conclusion
- Spaces distribution .
- Roof exploitation .

- Making terraces overlooking the garden .
- The work shops are visible to visitors, and will be a large hall . preferably be on the ground and not on the top .
- Designing the upper levels and at the same time using them as an approach for the entrance
