the site project, with the dimensions 18.30×23 square meters, and located in the northern Shahin neighborhood, has been designed and executed in nine stories with the integration of two southern lands with the smaller side having a view to the alley. The underground includes a custodian house, garage, warehouse, and facility room. On the ground floor, there are the entrance, lobby, and garage. Each of the first to the sixth stories has two three-bedroom units, and the seventh story is the first four-bedroom residential unit in the region that has been designed and executed in a completely smart form.
The predesigned two-unit plans were among the important issues in the project. The frequency and disorder of openings in the façade were such that the plan’s interior lines were not consistent with the façade lines in the exterior of the building. Thus, we sought a solution to eliminate the incoordination. Another issue was the limitations and requirements of the municipality and fire department on the location of the staircase in the building’s façade. As a result, this vertical connection made a protrusion in the façade and the skyline.
We hid the uncoordinated lines by placing a brick shell and using traditional architectural elements, brick framings, fabric, and Girih tiles like Fakhr and Madin in the façade. Moreover, using horizontal lines, such as cement strips, Persian turquoise, flowerboxes, and engraved CNC fences under the brick shell, we bonded the project façade in the form of hidden threads. The turning point of the project is the audacity to use (modern) grey bricks beside the whiteness of the cement, the greenness of the turquoise, and engraved CNC plates in the façade.
The last (seventh) story of the building has been designed and executed in the form of a single residential unit with the goal of constructing the first four-bedroom and completely smart unit in central Jannat Abad and northern Shahin. Since the nature of this story is outstanding in terms of area, height, materials, and spatial quality in interior design, it is also differentiated from other stories in the façade by using Iranian architectural elements and more details, such as a porch with different columns and capitals. The difference is obvious from both inside and outside the building. In the project name, instead of “residential complex”, the term “emarat” is used, which refers to prosperity, and since the building is located on Golestan street, it has been named “Emarat-e Golestan”.
