Bashtani Residential is an affordable apartment building located in West Tehran, featuring two units per floor, each with an approximate area of 80 square meters.

In the design of the NematAbad Residential project, two primary objectives were pursued: - Compatibility and harmony with the site. Caption Caption Caption Caption Caption - Designing two units per floor with optimal and identical conditions.

Project Concept: Spatial Authenticity, Spatial Autonomy The Varbon Residential Project was conceived with the idea of combining and juxtaposing two fundamental structures: the base and the residential. This composition, while maximizing the panoramic views of the forest to the south and the sea to the north, emphasizes the authenticity and spatial independence of each structure. Such independence is not only preserved at the overall scale of the building between the base and the residential volumes, but also extends to each floor, where every unit is defined by its own distinct identity and spatial authenticity. The elongated form of the building along the axis of the views creates spatial diversity and reinterprets a contemporary model in... More
