The idea:

Design process usually begins with the cognition of the project context. In a way that the footprints of idea are generally found in the context. Basic issues such as identity and climate are also hidden in the context. Context complications create the project problems. Issues such as multiple identities, cause the complexity in the origin of the problem.

Tehran is beyond a city, with cultural great variety and multiplicity of identities that transforms this city to a faceless one. The disordered feature of the city has no single thought to organize the buildings in a systematic connection and create a city with recognizable personality.

Now the basic question is “how architecture could be created in this faceless context that has a lowborn texture based on ambition?”

The cityscape is usually a representation of the dominant thought and identity. Disarrangement of Tehran is not in exception and the cityscape reveals the hidden secret behind. So in such construction in limited and compressed façade that has no empty or free space around, apartments are surrounded by other buildings and the façade is influenced by the body and facades around. With the growth in the number of apartments, Tehran is progressing in vertical axis that causes composition in city texture. The feature of this city requires innovation. One of the city difficulties is the flat and depthless feature that hides the spirit of the building, behind this two dimensional façade and creates an inanimate body. So this city requires a new spirit to start regeneration based on a different vision and utilizing its values.

Sepehr apartment that is affected by the powers that the context applies begins transformation. Although these powers cause the transformation in the third dimension bring out the façade from the cliché two dimensional shapes. The fourth dimension is continuously created by moving in the front passage and the light variation. We merged these powers with the nostalgia of puzzle games and origami to achieve a new dialect. The design has a new construction and expression in connection with the city. Creating the double skin façade produces depth and privacy in terraces as well as considering the energy saving, heat exchanging and sustainability issues.
