BRIGHTSPACE COMMUNITY CENTRE

COMPREHENSIVE DESIGN STUDIO PROJECT | FALL 2024 | | ON, CANADA [ UNIVERSITY OF WATERLOO ]

The project is a two-storey community center located in downtown Kitchener, designed to serve as a vibrant hub for local residents.

The center comprises two interconnected buildings: a two-storey structure and a one-storey building with a sloped roof. The architectural design prioritizes transparency and openness, featuring expansive glazing walls and durable cladding materials.

The facility includes a gallery, seminar room, workshop, administrative office, consultation room, and a spacious foyer, creating a dynamic and multi-functional space for community engagement. The building’s envelope is engineered to deliver high performance, resilience, and energy efficiency, adapting to Ontario›s climate and functional needs.

In this project, I’ve strived to design not just a functional building but a meaningful space where people feel they belong, where they create memories, and where the architecture becomes a silent partner in their daily lives.

Rain Control

The envelope design incorporates a ventilated rain screen assembly for cladding, ensuring effective drainage and drying to manage water infiltration. Curtain walls are equipped with advanced gaskets and pressure-equalized systems for additional protection. The metal roof sheathing features standing seam panels with overlapping joints to enhance water tightness, supported by gutters and flashing to direct rainwater away from critical areas.

Heat Control

Continuous insulation provided by EPS panels minimizes thermal bridging and maintains consistent energy performance throughout the building. The glazing system uses Low-E coated insulated glass units (IGUs) and thermally broken frames to balance natural light with thermal efficiency. The insulated roof assembly further contributes to reducing heat loss in winter and solar gain in summer.

Air Control

The envelope incorporates a continuous air barrier to prevent infiltration and exfiltration, maintaining a controlled indoor environment. Careful sealing around transitions, penetrations, and interfaces between systems ensures airtightness. This approach enhances HVAC efficiency and contributes to overall energy savings.

Vapor Control

The vapor barrier, positioned on the warm side of the insulation, minimizes condensation within the wall and roof assemblies. Breathable membranes allow controlled vapor diffusion to maintain envelope durability and interior air quality, preventing trapped moisture from compromising the structure.

Accommodation of Building Movements and Construction Tolerances

Expansion joints, flexible sealants, and concealed fasteners account for thermal expansion, structural movement, and settling. The roof system includes clips and adjustable fasteners to allow for movement without compromising performance, while construction tolerances are managed through precise detailing and adaptable connections.

OFFICIAL PROJECT | SPRING 2021 | ARCHITECT ASSISTANT–RENDERER | ROODEHEN [ GOROUH DESIGN STUDIO ]

This project is located in Tehran, Roodehen , Alvand Street, which is the residential apartment in 6 storyes and a roof garden. This project is colaborated with Gorouh Architecture Studio and it is still under construction . This project is a great challenge for me to design an actual building from begining to end. Each form comes from a cube . In this apartment we tried to pixelate different functional spaces into cubes. Then we transformed the cubes to a deformed one. Each cube has it›s own senario as well as each floor .

THESIS | SUMMER 2021 | INDIVIDUAL | TEHRAN [ AZAD ISLAMIC FACULTY OF ART AND ARCHITECTURE]

The growth of urbanization and leisure in urban areas is one of the most important topics in urban sociology. The effectiveness of social relations and the occurrence of anomalies in densely populated environments and away from social monitoring are the characteristics of urban areas.

In this regard, providing service centres for different groups in a constructive way, such as recreation centres, green spaces and medical services is very important.

OFFICE INTERIOR DESIGN

INDIVIDUAL PROJECT | SPRING 2023 | INTERIOR DESIGNER-RENDERER | TEHRAN

Renovating this office was a challanging process focused on modernization and minimalism. We began by replacing all electronic systems with wireless alternatives, ensuring a clutter-free environment. The flooring underwent a complete transformation, enhancing the office›s aesthetic appeal and functionality. The interior space was redesigned to reflect a minimal modern style, incorporating sleek furniture and a neutral color palette

I creatively covered a useless window with a CNCCUT MDF wood board , repurposing it as a TV stand.

To differentiate the space, we selected a heringbon flooring and embraced a neo-classic interior design with minimalistic accents.

By designing closets to cover angular spaces , we achieved both functionality and a distinctive look.

PHARMACY (FACADE RENOVATION)

INDIVIDUAL PROJECT | SPRING 2023 | INTERIOR DESIGNER-RENDERER | TEHRAN [ FREELANCE PROJECT ]

The renovation project for Ghalamchi company involved a transformation of the building›s usage from educational to official purposes. The plan divided the space into two main parts : one designed as a modern office zone , reflecting a professional and efficient work environment, while the other part is converted into a pharmacy, catering to the needs of the community. The facade underwent a complete overhaul, showcasing a contemporary design that aligns with the new functionalities of the building and changed the facade of the other facilities down the building.

The interior of the pharmacy embraces a modern style, characterized by its use of curves, creating a dynamic and inviting space. Both design alternatives prioritize efficiency, offering ample storage and functional workspaces. Each design ensures that the pharmacy staff can work efficiently while maintaining a sleek and contemporary aesthetic
