The project explores the relationship between interior and exterior space, seeking to create a meaningful dialogue between the building, its users, and the city. Rather than treating the façade as a fixed boundary, the design transforms it into an active interface that responds to light, views, privacy, and movement.
The main concept of the project is to create both calmness and variation within the urban environment. On the southern façade, vertical louvers filter the harsh sunlight while creating changing patterns of light and shadow inside the building. The façade conceals unnecessary details and frames views toward the park along Saadat Abad Boulevard, establishing a calm and unified urban presence. As visitors move around the building, the façade gradually reveals different layers and perspectives, creating a dynamic visual experience.
The northern façade continues the same approach through movable wooden louvers that rotate to control light, privacy, and views toward the city. These adaptable elements allow the building to constantly change in response to the users’ needs, strengthening the interaction between inside and outside.
Through the use of louvers on both façades, the project creates an architecture that is simultaneously peaceful and dynamic, forming an active relationship between the building, the city, and its inhabitants.
