A pleasure living place should be designed focused on residents’ lifestyle. Dr. “Omrani’s Home” is a reflection of Persian life in a new physical architectural framework. This residential project is designed in five floors in a 460 square meter land. The underground is assigned to parking lots, stores, mechanical room and janitor’s room. The ground floor is allocated to parents and the first, second & third floors to daughters and son.
The project is located in an original context with a semi- preserved urban fabric in Shiraz. This multi- storey home is benefitted from the brick material in order to satisfy the client’s trend and be compatible with the context, ignoring a very impressing presentation. The overall layout is a good reminder of calm, safe and familiar architecture.
Daylight penetration and proper shading through horizontal and vertical windows and openings, using pore brick walls and extension of brick material from outside to interior spaces are the most focused considerations in this project. Negative spaces in the building volume and proper composition of surfaces & materials balance the solid architectural mass.
In this home, sitting area acts as the heart of the plan. The hierarchy of accessibilities and contiguous public & private zones ease the connection between spaces. Terraces provide valuable semi-open spaces for study room, three-part kitchen (including open and main kitchen, pantry & food storage place) & living room, while interact with the main yard. The arrangement of building facilities is in the way that the open space on the roof, overlooking the yard, can be used for friends and family gatherings.
