The Esfandiar business complex, located at the intersection of Valiasr, Niayesh, and Esfandiar streets, was designed by Atec in 2020. The complex is planned on an L-shaped plot of around 7000 square meters. The approximate built-up area is 80,0000 square meters on 11 floors above and 8 floors below ground level. The program consists of:
– Commercial center: Big stores on the ground floor with an emphasis on wide shop windows and direct connection to the urban area, and a food hall, a special restaurant, and a roof garden café-court on the first floor
– South Administrative Tower: Small office units planned for health and beauty centers
– North Administrative Tower: Large office units planned for tech companies
The leveling of three main components of the project, as well the as the underground parking levels, based on the natural slope of the plot, reduces the shadow cast by the southern tower on its northern neighbors, while providing level entry on the ground level to every component of the program.
The parking entrance is located at the maximum possible distance from the intersection of the main streets. The parking layout enjoys wide aisles and stalls and a one-way flow which ensures maximum static and dynamic efficiency.
The design of the façade, attempts to provide a contemporary architectural expression in continuity with the architectural history of the context, as a center of Tehran’s mid-to-late-modernist era. It is also an effort to join and strengthen the new architectural identity of the area, characterized by the many office blocks built on Esfandiar Street in recent years which incorporate double-skin facades.
