Facade design

The design for (S) Squares Al Sahil Mall received third place in a global competition hosted by Al Salimi Real Estate Development in Saudi Arabia, bringing recognition to Cambodian architecture on the international stage. Developed by The Room Architecture and Design, the proposal reinterprets traditional Saudi architectural references for a contemporary retail destination. Its concept centers on a deliberate duality: an outward-facing commercial frontage along the main road and a sheltered central plaza that forms a more inward-looking public space. The building envelope draws from Najdi architectural archetypes, specifically rectilinear earthen massing, enclosed courtyards, and geometric mashrabiya screen walls, translating historic envir...

The Farmanieh Club, a multi-purpose complex featuring wedding halls and sports facilities, was established in the early 2000s. For decades, it stood as a prominent landmark within the Farmanieh neighborhood. Over time, however, its exterior became weathered, leaving behind a static facade that functioned as a silent echo of the past. Parham Taghioff Our intervention focused exclusively on the entrance and the main facade—the primary point of interaction between the user and the building, and the element carrying the greatest weight in defining its urban identity. The objective was a form of “re-creation” that strikes a delicate balance between heritage and modernity, re-establishing a living connection with the city.... More

A key challenge for the architects at IPA was the complexity of the site. Situated in a bustling, high-traffic neighborhood, the project needed to strike a balance between the dynamic urban environment and the residents’ need for privacy and comfort. The building's close proximity to Holy Trinity Park required a sensitive d... More

A family wanted to build a special house on a plot with a significant slope west oriented, facing a wide plain full of oaks at the foot of Madrid Mountains. The location is great, because from there you can see incredible sunsets, with the domes of El Escorial Monastery and the mountains on its background. OOIIO Architecture On the plot itself there were already several oak trees and very hard granite rocks emerging from the ground, a very typical landscape of this area. In fact, an old wall made of this same granite material closes the plot in its lower side. A stone barrier that is probably centuries old and will be a great opportunity to recover and integrate it as the exterior fencing of the new house. Without a doubt, a plot in... More

In the bustling urban landscape of Tehran, a metropolis in perpetual motion, one of the prevailing architectural endeavors is the construction of five-story infill residential projects. Rooted in market dynamics, these structures often materialize solely on the foundation of the owner's trust in the developer, leaving architects with a limited role in these ongoing developments. Arash Ashornia Arash Ashornia Arash Ashornia "5+1 Residence" exemplified this trend. The project adhered to urban regulations and standards, encompassing occupancy levels, permissible construction sites, density restrictions, stairwell enclosure zoning compliant with fire safety regulations, and others. In our pursuit to elevate architectural quality... More
