Designing residential complexes in our era is generally in throes of urban rules, and subsequently has reduced the users’ sense of belonging and their perception of living concept. The monopole view to profit issues and selling every square meter are the main concerns of builders that are going to build boxes for residing users. These boxes are substitutes for homes that are of most important vital human needs.
This project is located in an approximately 2000 m2 ground in Shiraz Sattarkhan Blvd., a good uptown urban district. Several discussions with design team, the employer, legal authorities have been done and then criticizing several concept alternatives in urban rules framework lead us to the concept of the volume openness, visual expansion and creating the green central space. Based on the mentioned concept and achieving the proper shading, the two blocks are designed in different levels with gradual lowing- off the built area in upper floors.
Thirty-four residential units are designed in total; 21 units placed in seven floors in block A & 13 units in six floors are in block B. The units are two, three or four bedrooms with various plans and not the general typical plan design. In order to increase open spaces qualification and reduce conflicts between the two modes of pedestrian path and automobile circulation, there is a united vehicle entrance and parking lots are just connected by undergrounds. The layout is included five main yards: a central green yard and kids’ playground in the middle, two yards in other sides of the blocks and two yards for the penthouses.
To sum up, daylight penetration, proper shading, natural ventilation, public, and private green spaces are the most focused considerations in this project, in order to increase the residents’ quality of life in meaningful homes.
