An Urban Lantern Within the Exhibition The Glowing Box is an exhibition pavilion designed for Nooraneh, a brand specializing in architectural lighting. Rather than functioning as a conventional display booth, the project redefines the pavilion as an immersive spatial experience where light itself becomes the primary architectural element. Noron Office Positioned within the open exhibition grounds, the pavilion takes the form of a pure luminous volume that acts as a temporary urban lantern, illuminating part of the surrounding public space while simultaneously attracting visitors from a distance. The minimal exterior geometry emphasizes the presence of light over formal complexity, allowing the pavilion to communicate the identity of... More

IntroductionThe interior design of Noura Eyewear and Optometry Center was carried out on one of Rasht’s busy healthcare-oriented streets, with the aim of creating a welcoming, legible, and functional environment. The narrow plot, with a width of only 3.5 meters and length of 17 meters (70 sqm ground floor), along with a 35 sqm upper floor for support spaces, posed a significant design challenge. The project’s location—surrounded by clinics, medical offices, and similar stores—necessitated a distinctive identity and an enhanced user experience. Pelak Studio Legibility, Identity, and Urban PresenceTo achieve visual distinction in a competitive urban context, the façade and entrance were designed with stron... More

A Small Pharmacy in the Heart of a Busy Street in Rasht This project involved the design and execution of a 30-square-meter pharmacy, in a space previously used as an eyewear shop, where the existing spatial divisions were not compatible with the new requirements. The limited ceiling height and strict regulations of the Food and Drug Administration posed some of the main design challenges. Pelak Studio Pelak Studio The pharmacy is located on one of the busiest streets of Rasht, lined with doctors’ offices, medical clinics, and numerous pharmacies. Within this context—where visual clutter threatens the identity of small buildings—the central design question emerged: how can one establish a clear and distinctive... More

Concept and Design ApproachThe design of Ardabil Villa was developed with the aim of reducing energy consumption and achieving full harmony with the region’s cold and mountainous climate. The main objective was to create a residential space that not only ensures thermal comfort for its occupants but also moves toward the concept of a nearly zero-energy building through the intelligent use of natural resources. MAINA Design Site Analysis and PlacementThe site is located on a gentle slope in a mountainous area. The first design step was to study solar radiation throughout the year and determine the optimal building orientation. As a result, the main volume was positioned to capture maximum solar energy during the cold seasons.... More

This project is an example of the reinvention of a shoe and handbag store located on one of the busiest streets in the city—a location that, due to high visual density, required the creation of a calm, inviting, and identity-driven environment. The client, owner of the “Boof” brand, aimed to provide a pleasant shopping experience for customers while presenting a distinctive and attractive storefront. The starting point of the design was the brand’s owl symbol—a motif that, through conceptual interpretation and translation into form and lighting, became the foundation for a fluid and cohesive store interior.

Kordan Villa was conceived in two main layers: 1.      Landscape and Plan 2.      Architectural Form The design process began with a comprehensive study of the natural context and climatic conditions. The villa’s position was determined based on geographical features, wind direction, solar exposure, and shading. The main access from the garden entrance to the building was designed in a way that divided the garden into two distinct zones: Mina Nazmjoo ·         Upper Zone: Covered with existing mature trees, preserved with minimal intervention to maintain its natural character. A drip irrigation system was implemented to ensure sustainable maintenance of the greenery. &... More

Rock, Water, Crack — this fundamental triad forms the conceptual core of Riftline. The massive volumes evoke the primordial solidity of stone and mountain, while the fissures between them draw visitors into subterranean mysteries and ancient cave systems. This is an introverted architecture, born from hidden depths, reminiscent of narrow tectonic fissures formed by immense geological pressures that gently guide the volumes outward. Dores Studio Dores Studio Dores Studio Dores Studio The master plan unfolds as an archipelago within a precise matrix. When these elements are arranged at calculated intervals, they transform into a fluid pattern where connective networks emerge through spontaneously formed corridors.... More

Dehsar Villa is located in the rural context of the Astaneh–Kiashahr axis on a 279 m² plot with a limited frontage of 9 m. This constraint was treated from the outset as a generative diagram rather than a mere limitation. The conceptual idea draws on the archetypal image of “home” — the gabled roof familiar from children’s drawings as a universal sign of dwelling. In this project, the house is not a cliché form but a text for re-reading the meaning of living in today’s context. Method Office The spatial organisation is based on a clear public/private duality: ·         Front section: a one-and-a-half storey commercial/office space opening to the road and loca... More
