2012_ 2020 ABOUT ME Iranian traditional architecture has always been inspiring to me and I’ve always been a person who is very curious about sene of space.The way that astounding traditional architecture effected me has led me to this path so i decided to study architecture to dicover this mysterious world. The main concern of mine now is that how a well designed space not only can bring quality to humans lives, but also creates an atmosphere and ambient for our senses and feelings therefore effects human’s spirit.

FRIEBOURG Residential
. Interior design|presentation Residential Complex|2019
Fribourge residental complex project was named after the street which site is located in. The project site is located in Isfahan, Iran. The city which has it’s own limitation in design in case of windows and openings in north facade and other obligations for using bricks as the main material of the facade. On the other hand the client need was to get the maximum building density so the design challenges we were facing didn’t give us many choices.

MORPHSTONE| OBJET table design
. Design participant|presentation Exhibition|2020 | Built
Tools were invented for (getting things done) and accelerated the process of evolution of what we are now. But what turned these tools into a focal point from being a mere object was the conditions they provided by which legends and human imagination was nourished and how todays complicated culture and social
the object›s change of functional pattern and now these two stone tables run from their functional role to take a new body and bear a new weight on shoulders. A solid rock becomes soft and takes shape to ironically point to the thing u want to put on it not your cup.
relations were taken shape. The spear that the primitive man sharpened for hunting is a Katana hanging on the wall now which is a reminder of cultural bonding of a nation instead of slaughter. A stool with the fire and a matress on it, used for keeping a crowd warm, was turned into an excuse for gathering together and the function became more than a heating device, as a reason for spending the winter, tales were born around it and stories were told and legends took shape. Gatherings need a space, maybe the corner of a wall or a table, even if we don›t put anything on it, it has kept us together and we sit or stand beside it. It›s as if a table is turned into an abstract tool for supporting social aspects with the passing of time, without us even noticing

The Nini Mah baby shop, designed by Shabahang Architecture Group, is located in Qom, Iran. The renovation transformed the existing 3 story 865 square meter space into an airy, fun, and colorful baby retail store. In visioning session, we had difficulty locating the store because of all similar cold structures in the district. The store building was very uninviting in external appearance and gloomy within. The concept of the design was based on capturing the attention of visitors. Therefor we chose a warm and bright color for the exterior. Passersby young and old may feel a pull starting with the vibrant yellow color of the exterior.
moves through all floors acting as the guide for new customers and ends in a splash in the lower ground level. Whitewashed walls and pale wood flooring act as a neutral backdrop for colorful products. After passing through the door the visitors find themselves on a yellow path which leads them to the stairs.
The products are divided according to their size and category: Larger baby products (such as bedding, furniture, stroller, etc.) are located on the second and lower floors while the smaller and commonly used baby items (such as apparel, feeding, etc.) are located on the ground foor.
Modular Affordable Portable Housing Design
. Design participant|presentation Competition | 2019 | Torento Keliha residential programe
Affordable housing is a major issue in property developments in Toronto City, the implementation of the inclusionary housing program has pushed affordable housing to the forefront of developers minds. We push the boundaries for affordable housing developments including but not limited to inclusionary housing program, quality housing program, maximize the dwelling units count, minimize parking, communal pace, sustainable housing but put high affords on using more green materials with low maintenance cost, and long lasting life-circle.There are specific calculations that must do to determine the maximum unit count for a property. Our design always pushes the boundaries to build less, then the maximize the units when doing affordable housing. The maximum number of apartments in a building that you can develop is based on zoning calculation know as density factor. The other factor is communal space that is an easy way to provide higher quality developments. We highly recommend some kind of communal and or other space for the affordable buildings.
Prefabricated construction units are built in aplantand transported to be assembled on site. Builtmodules in a controlled environtment leading to fewer mistakes, better quality, quicker to save time and desirable number of units/floors for each specific site.
We determine the optimal size per unit and number of units for this proposal. Building to last goes hand in hand on spending more time on designing the buildings with sustainable approaches to ensure the buildings are designed well and built to last. The developers of affordable housing buildings don’t want to spend money on a new building just to constantly have to spend more on repairs and upgrades.
CONTRAST Cafe Gallery
. Design participant|presentation 2018 |Iranshahr St Tehran
Using framesas an element in order to separate subject and objects. Creating contrast in colors and furnitures.
Cafe gallery has two functions; not only a cafe but also a space for artworks. To respect artworks an element was used, namely a line thta cross allover the cafe Existing potential in building (separated spaces) was exploit and various spaces has been created that everyone has a different theme and different furniture. The goal is encouraging people to attend the cafe and have an different spatial experience anytime.

Shaping with arcs
This building is constructed with brick.Already, these bricks were covered, in this project upper layers are removed and worthwhile underlying layer is exposed. There is a main hall which is the key space of the cafe.Here a surface has been created which is a background for displaying artworks. when no artwork is shown, there is some empty frames that involves the mind of the audience.

The projects subject was interior design of a child store. Child stores have lots of items to sell and employer request was having yhe most space for presenting products to parents, so our design ideas for shelves inspired by origami geometries to use more surfaces to show more products, more views and less crowd. Also , beacise of too many colorful objects, neutral color was chosen for ceiling, walls and ground and a light orange color for shelves which is suitable for both for girls and boys.
