This keeps land use low and optimizes operational processes between the two existing buildings. With up to 20m long connecting bridges to the existing AT I/II buildings, the new AT III building forms a "company campus" with short distances.

When we live in a city like Tehran, with a population of around 9.5 million, we belong to a large metropolitan area. Simultaneously, we need a sense of belonging to a cozy, peaceful, and independent place called home. The experience dose of coziness and freedom in the usual houses in Tehran is so slight that it often leads people to build settlements in more natural environments around Tehran.
