While this design is technically a duplex, it has the feeling of two separate houses: both follow the same design language but each frontage is distinct, as opposed to the more common mirror-image duplex design. In turn, this orientation gives each home its own unique floorplan, maximising privacy, ventilation and natural daylight. Upon entering, one is drawn by the light down the long hall to the garden which lights up the ground floor. Your eye is also attracted to the shapes and lines created by the contemporary stairway. Meals with family and friends are a priority for this client and each home has all 4 bedrooms upstairs, with the ground floor dedicated to open-plan living. This unrestricted space further promotes the light and airy atmosphere. The street-corner duplex has at the back a large garage that faces the house and is fully open to the courtyard garden – this space doubles as a substantial undercover entertaining area. The other house also has guests spilling outside, with its alfresco dining verandah and plunge pool.

Awards: Selected in 56th International Art Exhibition Venice biennale Lavasan, a fast-growing region in the north east of Tehran, has transformed from a holiday destination to a residential area in the past years. The client demanded a typical residential building with 3 separate apartments in it based on the regional municipal regulations. Nevertheless, because of Lavasan's reputation for villa construction and because of the views to the surrounding landscape, the design was diverted from a typical apartment building The main idea of the design was to build 3 completely separate units using green balconies and big outdoor spaces in a way to give it a villa impression. The factors influencing the design of the project are as follows: Combining indoor and outdoor spaces, controlling exposure from outside, providing maximum view from the interior, and paying attention to circulation paths and urban public areas such as roundabouts and the surrounding pathways. The building's form is close to a typical attic villa form on the main façade. The sloped ceiling continues to wrap the building as the façade's walls in a uniform manner. This wrap starts from one corner and continues on the façade to form the entrance, the courtyard's wall and the balconies. In this fashion, the building looks rather like a villa than an apartment.

The Dental Studio is a highly intricate building that uniquely links two separate stands of two neighbourhoods and straddling a four metre broad municipal servitude. The western part of the neighbourhood is an office precinct consisting of low scaled office buildings set around a communal access street and parking. It was designed for a leading dental practice with state of the art equipment and progressive philosophy of service. It presents itself as an uncomplicated rectangular structural mass that elegantly characterise an intersection of a major neighbourhood boulevard and is notable along the eastern end with an upright circulation tower. The western end on the other hand, is characterised with vertical solar control screens which serve a dual purpose, that is, sifting low down western sun rays as well as giving a serene appeal to the mass. The daring spotless form of the building is a truthful reflection of the nature of the sterile dental environment that is housed within. This houses the central vestibule and reception with a visual interface as well as pedestrian movements along the edge of the building. Healing and healthcare is a paradox that requires architectural intervention. It is this same paradox that informed measures taken towards developing this project as a revised prototype. Exacerbated by the need to research a building type that can promote healing environment, the Dental Studio attempts to create a closer harmony with nature through views, landscape and daylight.
