Aria residential building with the total area of 4270 m² located on a land with the area of 555m²
The building includes ten floors with residential function, lobby on the ground floor, and four basements. One of the advantages of the site is its location which is located on the corner of the three main streets that can provide light penetration from three sides of the building. On the other hand, the small width of the site and the height of the high-rise building as the result of 10 units of residential in each floor did not lead to an optimal proportion of the façade. There were two approaches in the design process of this building. On first approach, the design concept of the facade was a solution for handling design challenges. The west side of the site which is almost the main façade is considerably long, but on the other hand, the west light is not appropriate.
In space allocation, the private zones are located on the north, while the public zones designed on the south of the residential units.
The concrete shell, designed on the west side of the building, controls the light of private zone with the minimum number of windows. In the same manner, this porous parametric facade structure, envelopes the public space, while allowing the natural daylight to diffuse through. On the second approach, the items of the south façade which are a glass volume, and a balcony are moving between floors to create diversity in design and make a better proportion in facade at the same time. The other common spaces in buildings include pool, sport facilities, roof garden, and the gathering hall.
