The Albany is a two story plan that makes great use of available square footage It foregoes the formal living room in favor of a spacious formal dining room, open family room, study or fifth bedroom, and a covered patio. A two story foyer creates an open entry, and the very open layout of the family room, kitchen, and breakfast area create a large shared living space. The family room adjoins the covered patio, and the first floor study/fifth bedroom is located at the rear of the home. The upstairs primary suite is accessed by double doors, and includes a tray ceiling in the bedroom, a private sitting room, private access to a covered deck, a room-sized closet, and luxury bath with corner whirlpool, separate shower, dual vanities, and enclosed commode area. The upstairs hall opens to three more bedrooms, two of which share a bath, and to the home's third full bath, utility room, and second linen closet. Two exterior elevations are offered, both featuring a covered entry and a multi-layered hip-and gable roof design, incorporating both brick and shake siding on the front of the home.

In the galley kitchen, we made minimal changes to the footprint but completely overhauled the cabinets and function. The sleek new kitchen updates the home’s mid-century style with new two-toned cabinetry in stained maple and high-gloss white, plus low-maintenance hardy flooring, white quartz countertops with sparkling flecks of gold and purple, and a new glass bar top. The eye-catching mixed-metal backsplash is a fun update on a traditional penny tile.

We extended the exterior setback front walls of the bedrooms on the main floor to be in line with the garage below. This small additional square footage made a big difference in increasing the overall size of the front two bedrooms and closets. It also allowed for the stairs leading to the third-floor primary suite addition. The real coup of their home addition was the third floor the McAdams Remodeling & Design team added to create an all-encompassing primary suite that included a bedroom, sitting room, walk-in closet, ensuite laundry, primary bathroom, and balcony. With this added space, they were able to give their original primary bedroom to their third child, ensuring everyone had a room of their own. The third-floor addition adds 660 sq ft above their existing main floor and accessed via a dedicated staircase between their girl’s rooms. At the top, you immediately enter into a sitting room that features a fireplace, room for a sofa and chair, and is perfect for enjoying a rainy winter day or serves as additional workspace should the couple need it. Just past the sitting room’s pocket doors is a large bedroom with plenty of room for bedroom furniture, side tables and nightstands, but the real draw is the covered Juliet balcony where the couple now relax on nice evenings. A ceiling patio heater is nestled into the cedar ceiling planks and makes the space habitable year-round, while Pebble Grey Trex decking keeps it low maintenance and looking good.

Sharifi-ha House Uncertainty and flexibility lie at the heart of the design concept in Sharifi-ha House. The sensational, spatial qualities of the interiors, as well as the formal configuration of its exterior, directly respond to the displacement of turning boxes that lead the building volume to become open or closed, obtaining introverted or extroverted character. These changes may occur according to changing seasons or functional scenarios of floor plans. Like many other urban plots, the land for this project had a noticeably narrow façade-width compared with its length. Consequently, our expertise in transforming a two-dimensional façade to a three-dimensional one became indispensable. Here, the openness /closure of the building volume is a reference to traditional Iranian houses, which would dynamically serve as seasonal modes of habitation by offering both a Zemestan-Neshin (winter living room) and Taabestan-Neshin (summer living room) to their residents. In summertime, Sharifi-ha House offers an open /transparent /perforated volume with wide, large terraces. In contrast, during Tehran’s cold, snowy winters the volume closes itself, offering minimal openings in total absence of those wide summer terraces. In this project, the challenges to the concepts of open/closed typology (introverted/extroverted character) led to an exciting spatial transformation of an ever-changing residential building. The House is distributed over seven floors: the two basement floors are allocated to family conviviality, fitness facilities, and wellness areas, while the ground floor hosts parking and housekeeping rooms. Public activities all happen on the first and second floors, and the family’s private life takes place on the third and fourth floors. The project consisted of four major parts; the fixed volume of the structure, the void, and the fixed volume and the mobile volume, respectively. When the turning boxes are closed, the building captures sunlight throughout the space of the central void, which also connects the two fixed volumes by suspended bridges. The house adapts to the functional needs of its residents. For instance, depending on whether there is a guest or not, the guest room (located on the second floor) can be reconfigured for different purposes. Similarly, home office and breakfast room (turning rooms on the first and third floors) can change the formality of their appearance according to their residents’ desire. In other words, there is always the possibility of having different seasonal or lighting scenarios, some of which have been already considered in the BMS program of the project. From the initial design steps, we noticed that three pine trees outside could be incorporated into the spaces of the interior. Now, in the open mode of the house, the trees are pleasantly captured by the window frames. Stepping back for about three meters from the permitted construction boundary line allowed us to provide splendid daylight for the basement floors by inserting a glass fountain. The fitness and wellness areas are accommodated between this fountain and the basement pool where reflective installations reverberate the water’s radiance all over the space. The applied manufacturing technique for the turning mechanism was in fact a simple one; the same method which is currently employed in turning theatrical scenes, turning the floor of car exhibitions, steel companies and the shipping industry in Iran. But as our client himself was into importing CNC and other similar industrial German machines, he preferred the structural system to be fabricated in Germany. In doing so, he could engage his employees in the manufacturing process and thus train them for future maintenance purposes. Details of the handrails and air-penetration controlling methods were major issues considered in developing the design of the turning boxes. Designing foldable handrails and refining the edges of the boxes happened to be our feasible solutions. Considering the specialties of this kind of architecture, the structural system was inevitably a customized one. After digitally modeling the structure, a series of SAP2000 analysis were undertaken to examine static/dynamic performance of the proposed system. Being partially moveable is the dominant feature of this structural assembly, which was contemplated throughout the fabrication process by the German manufacturer company. The main loads all rest on the beams of the living rooms. Due to the various configurations the turning boxes may take, the loading calculation has been estimated based on the largest possible loading value applied to the system. Additionally, in order to prevent structural deformation controlling the probable vibrations in the turning boxes was taken into account during the design/calculations of the structure. The house was titled Sharifi-ha House, in honor of traditional Iranian mansions.

This principal ensuite is the third full bath in the house and the client didn't want nor need a third tub so we opted for a larger shower space. We've incorporated a built in shelf unit that hides the access panel to the shower plumbing but also acts as a place for beautiful baskets, towels and decor. The double vanity was built to order from a canadian company called Teodor Vanities. We had the walls rearranged in this bathroom to create a toilet alcove and the remaining space for the double vanity. The back splash is a classic subway tile in a little larger format than that of the past and makes the space feel current. We opted for an inexpensive LVP for the floor to keep the budget in check but it is a classic marble look and works with the white oak woods and black metals.
