LA MAISON

Being it one of my ﬁrst interior architecture projects, the goal of this project was to redesign and readjust the interiors of a household and turn it into a women’s hair salon. In this project, I carefully balanced functionality and aesthetics to create a comfortable and inviting environment.

To achieve this goal, unpretentious wooden panels were added to metal frames in order to increase ﬂexibility and facilitate easy movement of each item.

This feature also allows for adjusting the lighting of different areasamongst the viewing angles of each zone, thus enhancing privacy andconcentration levels of the stylist, depending on how people approach the zones from the outside and vice versa.

Small indoor ﬂower boxes and aesthetic seating plates are also added to the designed furniture to keep up the mood for the clients and enlighten the workspaces for the stylists.

SAYEHBAAN

The aim of the design was to create an open area for the students and teachers of the University of Tehran to gather, carry out activities, and keep in touch with each other as well as those from other departments.

The concept being driven by two different iconic concepts - the“Sabaats” and the “tree leaves”is developed to provide enough lighting for the insidious sections while keeping such spaces safe and calm for the workplace and the gallary.

The meticulous attention paid to every detail in the design ensures that it seamlessly blends with the environment while adding vibrancy to it.

The warm color palette creates an atmosphere that not only invites but also encourages students and teachers to interact with each other in a friendly and welcoming space beyond the conﬁnes of the classroom.

VIUNA CAFE

This design project was centered around the brand identity of Viuna Cafe.

The objective of this project was to design the interior environment for one of the hypothetical branches of the Viuna Cafe, which would include a take-out/stand-sitting bar, aseating area, and a smoke-free mezzanine, all within a designated site.

The furniture and details in this design were specially chosen to reflect the brand identity of Viuna Cafe and convey the personality of the brand, whilst providing a warm and welcoming area for the visitors and customers.

DESIGNED VERSION

THE DORMS

In recent years, the University of Tehran has faced a shortage of accommodation for new students due to increased enrollment.

Existing dormitories are insufficient, leaving many in small, expensive, and inconvenient housing. This student housing design aimed to minimize space and resource needs whilst providing comfort and convenience at lower costs.

In this particular design, the main idea was to maximize the functionality of each room by incorporating essential requirements of a student within limited space usage. Consequently, two alternatives were created - one with a mezzanine for three people and the other, which is laid out on a single floor, can accommodate four individuals.

Alternative 2 Furniture Designs

After considering both options, the second alternative appeared more suitable amongst the two considering the importance of the circulation and having access to different services while providing the best atmosphere for working/studying of the students.

The circulation in this design is in favor of levitaing the accessiblity of the service providing sectors for the users. With an open central staircase designed right in the middle of each two mezzanines, this goal was addressed while also an open space is now injected into the building to reduce the pressure and elevate the atmosphere’s quality.

The roof top open space also adds to this enhancement while giving users to keep in touch in a more peaceful aatmosphere.

Kazar

Kazar, as a space for integrating market activities with modern technology and using the maximum commercial and advertising facilities in the heart of Tehran’s Grand Bazaar, was recommended redesign concept of an aban-

The name “Kazar” is derived from the combination of the words “work” and “bazaar”, which is a combined reflection of what happens inside in correlation with the outsidious flow of people and

Given the current situation of the Grand Bazaar of Tehran, creating a mutual space with collaborative conditions - for both the young generation and the elderly - which is also focused on the overlapping workflow of the traditional marketing and the new-age technology, desired the most attention to the basic existing features of the Bazaar and its daily users.

Based on this cognition, a new approach was required to enhance the capabilities of the Saraa and make it a point of attraction for both outsiders and insiders of the Bazaar.

Therefore, placing a cafe along with the workplace was offered as the first solution.

Integrated into one of the main entrance objectives, the cafe is designed in a way to serve both the Kazar users and also the individuals that are just passing by.

This makes this area one of the most unique sections of the whole bazaar working towards the goal of making it an iconic point of attraction for all.

And alongside with the cafe, a public restroom is placed to offer such services to the so-called potential users.

In Kazar’s volume, the two Cylinders would act as the promoters of two specific and special operational areas including a brainstorming room and a newly defined conference hall in which, special talking conferences will take place. Other workplace areas are circled behind the main conference hall to be included with a more private section while having indirect contact with the main promotion operations.

The design for the worktables are all according to the main lines and curves of the interior design and while keeping in touch with the interiors, they can easily provide enough space for each user while different actions could be taken to increase or decrease the amount of privacy and focus. This also made these tables an iconic element of the whole project.
