Pardis Kahneh Residenial

The primary inspiration for Pardis Khaneh comes from Persian gardens, particularly Baghe Takht in Shiraz, which embodies the essence of a vertical garden. This concept aligns with the project's unique location between two public gardens, making the building a connective vertical garden that bridges nature with architecture. The dynamic wooden surfaces reflect the organic growth of cedar leaves, metaphorically symbolizing resilience and tradition. This design integrates historical elements while addressing modern urban needs.

The focus was to create a residence that revives the essence of Persian architectural heritage while maintaining a modern aesthetic. By blending space psychology with functional design, the aim was to offer residents a sanctuary that harmonizes with nature and reflects their cultural roots. Reinterpreting the hanging gardens in a contemporary style, the project establishes an emotional connection between the user, architecture, and the surrounding environment.

As the building has already been sold, future plans for this specific design lie in the hands of the new owners. However, the recognition this project has received strengthens the studio's commitment to promoting Iranian architectural identity in future projects. We envision continuing to explore similar principles in upcoming designs to merge tradition with innovation.

The Pardis Khaneh residential project draws from the grandeur of the Persian hanging gardens, particularly in how these gardens serve as peaceful sanctuaries in bustling urban spaces. By integrating this concept vertically, we aimed to recreate an oasis-like environment for residents while preserving a sense of seclusion and relaxation. This inspiration influenced our approach to spatial organization and green integration across different levels of the building. The garden terraces are not merely ornamental; they function as microenvironments, each carefully curated to foster tranquility, improve air quality, and serve as an intermediary between interior and exterior. The result is a building that reinterprets a Persian historical motif while addressing the needs of contemporary urban dwellers.

The wooden lattice facade is a reinterpretation of the “mashrabiya,” a traditional Persian architectural element that blends aesthetic beauty with functional privacy. This flexible design element allows residents to control light, shade, and privacy, creating a personalized atmosphere while connecting them to the external environment. Inspired by nature’s seasonal shifts, the lattice’s dynamic quality transforms the building’s appearance throughout the day, interacting with sunlight and shadow. This intentional layering adds richness to the facade, making it responsive to the user’s lifestyle and enhancing the resident experience by merging function with artistic expression.

Persian miniature art, known for its intricate details and symbolic representation, deeply influenced Pardis Khaneh’s design philosophy. These artworks offer a window into traditional Persian landscapes, often filled with harmonious proportions and nature-inspired elements. By applying these aesthetics, we aimed to create a narrative within each architectural component, evoking a miniaturized paradise that combines visual elegance with functional utility. For instance, pathways, garden spaces, and structural details reflect the deliberate composition seen in miniatures, contributing to a cohesive visual story within the building’s architecture.
