Net-Zero Energy Residential Complex with Vertical Farm
Location: Marquette, Michigan
Course: Design Studio III
This residential complex integrates sustainable living withvertical farms to provide energy ef昀椀ciency, food security, and environmental care.
The project’s goal is to create a net-zero energy building using mass timber as the primary construction material, aligning with principles of sustainability and innovation.
This complex consists of nine units, each with direct access to a shared vertical farm via their basements. Additionally, each unit includes dedicated parking spaces conveniently located within its basement.
Each residential unit adopts a triangular form, optimizing space ef昀椀ciency by utilizing corners for storage and aligning the layout with the building’s main lines to eliminate unusable areas.

Solar Panel Devices
The vertical farm supports the residents with fresh produce and integrates seamlessly with the residential units. Photovoltaic panels, installed at a 30-degree angle on the roofs of both the residential units and the farm, maximize solar energy production, providing substantialenergysavingsandsupportingthenet-zero energygoal.

FACULTY of ART
Location: Ahvaz, Iran
This faculty was designed for the University of Ahvaz, which did not have an art faculty. The key to human perception is art, and the eye plays a vital role in enhancing understanding. So I got an idea from the human eye for initial design.
Zarbanaye Jonoub Company
THE IDEA OF THE DESIGN
The local and old housing style is a central courtyard where air will circulate due to the warm weather in this area. Furthermore all parts of the building benefit from natural light from doing this.
USING NATURAL LIGHT DURING THE DAY HOURS
BIRD VIEW OF THE FACULTY
The library and classrooms were separated by the division of the building's volumes and adequate space were provided for movement and Interaction.
THE DESIGN PROCESS OF ENTRANCE OF FACULTY
Design a unique entrance for the faculty which distinguish that from the other faculties
KISH HOTEL
Location: Kish Island, Iran
As the kish island host many tourists during a year,many urban development project are being designed in this island.This hotel is located by the sea, so the design of this project was limited in height.The hotel is designed in two floors. the ground floor includes the office area, gym, restaurant, cafe and also an outdoor swimming pool.this hotel includes 16 rooms, that are placed on the first floor.On the second floor there is a cinema hall, a restaurant and an indoor playground for children.
challenges: Height limit

THE IDEA IS TAKEN FROM AN ANCHOR
The Climate Of This Area Is Hot And Humid. The Material Used In This Hotel Is Light Stone That Re昀氀ects Sunlight And Does Not Cause The Building To Heat Up.

Location: Ahwaz, Iran
Challenge: Height limit, Due to proximity to a strategic building
This complex is located in the city of Ahvaz.This complex consists of 8 昀氀oors and 282 units,a parking also is located in the basement. apart from an apartment for the residents of this complex, it includes a gym, Hall, Restaurant and Cafe that are located in 8th 昀氀our and a shopping center is in the ground 昀氀oor.

Separation For Proper Lightening And Walking Path
Two Blocks Of Complex Are Divided
Trees For Puri昀椀ng
In designing the plans of this complex, An effort was made to divide the private rooms of each unit from the public spaces by using a wall.The size of the units on 昀氀oors 5 and 6 are greater than the other 昀氀oors .
trees has been utilized because of the hot climate of this region around the complex, which in addition to purifying the air, prohibits direct sunshine from entering the building.
VIEW OF THE COMPLEX 3D
A road, which is both a suitable place for walking and the light needed by the units, divides the volume of this complex into two sections.
Grass and trees were used on the roof of this complex, which has a wonderful impact on keeping the air friendly, and it is an appropriate spot for the people to have enjoyment in addition to being stunning.
4 CAFE
Freelance 2019
Location: Tehran, Iran
Keshavarz Intersection in Tehran is the location of this cafe, which is one of the busiest crossroads in Tehran, but there was no café for people to relax and have a break from hustle and busle of a work day.This location was a nice place to do this since all the nearby streets are conveniently accessible from the cafe.

Location: Mazandaran, Iran
challenges: Seismicity of the area, 昀氀ood, cost, time
This small cottage is located in the heart of the forest.The construction of wooden huts is very fast and also can lead to saving money.The general shape of this cottage is similar to a pyramid.It consists of two part. The upstairs is a master room. amount of rainfallinthisareaishighandtopreventthefloodfromentering,weplacedthecottage on a platform 1.5 meters above the ground level where water easily passes under it.
local timber and glass are used in its construction. Wood creates high resistance and durability and due to its lightness and 昀氀exibility, they are more safe against earthquakes.
INTERIOR SPACE OF THE COTTAGE
These cottages are renewable and easily return to nature and can be enjoyed without harming nature.

This area has cold winters and hot and humid summers, and wood can be a good insulator.
This villa is designed for a family of three, In a small village near the forest, It has a view of a forest from both directions.The villa is made up of 3 bedrooms, one of whichisforguestslocatedindownstairsandonUpstairs,thereare2mastersuites. also there are wide terraces in both rooms that are suitable for air circulationand alsofor the occational gathering or simple evening chit chats.

BACK YARD OF THE VILLA
MAIN ENTRANCE
The climate of this area is cold and humid, and almost in all months of the year there is rainfall. For this reason, both the villa and the swimming pool are built to stop future flooding at a minimum of 1.5 meters from the ground.
Challenge: Ecological Challenge ,Heavy Winds And Roof Damage
This region has the most winds in Iran during the year, as well as signi昀椀cant precipitation. The client wanted a house to be simple, but a little different and modern, in the simplistic style of local houses. For more privacy, this villa consists of two upstairs bedrooms that one of them is a master. There is also an outdoor swimming pool in this villa.

VIEWS OF THE VILLA
The design of the house's roof is taken from the kite, which has given the villa an unique dynamic, and its shape makes it possible for the wind to pass through it and does not cause the roof to collapse and fall off during strong wind.All year round, the prevailing winds in this region are blown from the north and northwest, and the position of the villa takes into account this problem.
