About Pardis Kahneh Apartamento Residencial

La fachada es una combinación de una superficie simple que encierra completamente un volumen mediante un corte de sección diagonal. La superficie es una celosía de madera con diseño de patrón inspirado metafóricamente en el cedro; la celosía dinámica es tan flexible que puede ser abierta o cerrada por los usuarios para ajustar la privacidad. Mientras que la otra superficie está totalmente cubierta por piedra turquesa, existe un pequeño jardín en el vestíbulo y patio trasero que funciona como un patio hundido, y hay un jardín en la azotea con árboles.

The facade can be reshaped continuously therefore; the visitor will face a new shape of the building. This is a type of design for a modern lifestyle, but it is conscious of Iranian identity.

Production Technology: The main facade is consisting of three main materials: thermos wood for window shading devise, turquoise Stone facing for the main facade and exposed concrete as a Complementary Neutral material used in entrance, The detail of wood panels is originally designed and all the wooden frames were cut and bolted under the supervision of the design team in the place. each panel has a steel frame covered by wooden finishing. Which not only can move linearly in rails but also can have hinge rotation. As mentioned the occupants are free to move and rotate the panels which make it an interactive, flexible, dynamic facade.
Design Challenge: importance challenge of the design was its attention to forgotten Iranian architecture concealing the identity of the region. The identity which must be introduced in modern form today. Traditional Architectural elements are not seen in this building and even the used materials are not similar to their traditional patterns. But the applied simplicity and harmony in its architecture and modernized traditional construction causes the resident finds himself in a modern house but with traditional feelings and atmosphere.
Research: The design team has so despite the study of historical aspects of Iranian garden architecture, also analyzed Persian garden in Iranian miniature paintings. In many cases, the gardens in miniature were mostly applied to illustrate the paradise on earth and that is why the word Pardis derives from paradise.So pardis khane is a type of residential building that is designed for the modern lifestyle, but it is conscious of Iranian identity.
Inspiration: This project located between two public gardens. In order to link two gardens, the whole project was designed as a connective vertical garden, which has been drawn its design inspiration from Persian gardens, specially Baghe Takht in Shiraz. The mentioned garden was a vertical one laid out on multiple terraces, and in much the same shape and form as Hanging Gardens of Babylon. The wooden surface has a special pattern design inspired by the growth of plants leaves, metaphorically the cedar.
Project Duration: The building designed in February 2013 in Tehran and the construction works finished in September 2017 in Tehran.
Operation Flow: Like the main planting pattern of hanging garden, there have been cedar trees on the facade planted on the 1st, 2nd and 5th floor. The dynamic wooden lattice is so flexible that can be opened or closed by users to adjust privacy. Moreover, the play of sunlight during sunrise and also sunset creates a soothing atmosphere in the home originated from Iranian traditional architecture which makes it not Aesthetically but also climatically responsive building.
