About 16 The Moment Residential
The architect had a special offer from a client who came to entrust the team with the design and execution of a building for himself and his four children in five independent units. There was no doubt. Part of the attraction of this project was the team knew the urban infrastructures of that area and municipal rules allow the construction of more floors than the client intended. In early Iranian apartment living in Tehran's modernist era, uniform unit plans are avoided, enriching this family-centric project with unique qualities and value.

- Unique Properties
- This project evolved into an apartment republic, aligning with the diverse initial client preferences. It involved designing a 300-square-meter residential unit for parents, four 150-square-meter units for children, and a potential surplus in the construction license for a 510-square-meter land. Ensuring the proper separation of two-unit floors and reconstructing a common front space for the elevator without harming individual floors posed notable design challenges.

- Production Technology
- This project, like most projects in Iran, has been developed with a traditional approach, and industrialization and prefabrication plays no role in it.
Objects such as bench and fireplace were also specifically designed and fabricated for this project by the design team. - Design Challenge
- One of the greatest challenges of this project was reaching an agreement with the municipality regarding the floor space ratio regulations and examining and reaching a new agreement to address this issue.
- Research
- In the background of this project, the residential architecture of the 50s and 60s in Iran was examined, and its principles and alternatives were employed to address the project's challenges.
- Inspiration

- Project Duration
- The project started in 2018 and finished in 2020 in Mashhad,Iran.
- Operation Flow
- Due to the presence of numerous level differences in this project, various types of floor plans have emerged, providing the opportunity for family members and four children to have good communication and interaction with each other despite being independent.
