01. Office Tower and Bus Terminal
2015
Supervisors: Dr. Sadria, Dr. Tahsildoost
It was a two-semester group project to design a 220m x 80m site, with an area of 4,800 square meters, including a 20-story office tower occupying a surface area of 6,000 square meters, a parking lot for 500 vehicles, and a bus terminal with a capacity of 20 buses.
In the first semester, we developed our proposal for the actual project with the greatest attention to the structure and construction regulations, as we were going to work on its construction document phase next semester.
During the next semester, the structure and details were accurately modeled and all construction documents were completed including structural drawings and HVAC drawings, wall sections, etc.
Office Tower
The floors are connected to a concrete shear core, which is essentially a large vertical column of reinforced concrete located in the tower’s center. The concrete shear core allows the perimeter structural steel columns relatively light.
Bus Terminal
For the terminal, the goal was to have no columns in the space and glass walls so passengers could see what was going on outside. So we designed x-shaped concrete columns and x-shaped beams.

02. Darakeh Residential Complex
Supervisors:
Dr. Mosudi Nezhad
The design site located in Evin was one of the oldest and most traditional areas of Tehran. Despite being in one of the most expensive areas of the city, this neighborhood had preserved its old texture. Most of the low-income residents whose houses were traditional, people knew each other and spent a lot of time socializing.
Phase 1: Designing the neighborhood as a whole and determining circulation and overall shape. Phase 2: Dividing the neighborhood into 4 parts and selecting one for more details.
I intended that each unit design be flexible and expandable so that due to the units’ small size, residents can make the best use of them. The important point was that all the units should be designed in such a way that they have a green space or a terrace, there is not much view from each unit to the yard of other units, but all units have a view to the common yard.

03. Space for the elderly to prevent Alzheimer’s
An approach to Social Sustainability
2021
Supervisors: Dr. Naeini, Dr. Mohseni
Global statistics show that the elderly population is increasing day by day. Urban parks, which serve as popular daytime leisure destinations for many seniors, play a crucial role in enhancing both their mental and physical well-being.
In the process of this design, effective factors in the prevention of Alzheimer’s disease have been investigated by relying on the role of urban parks on the social stability of the elderly. Designing a space that can help the elderly with effective presence in social arenas to strengthen memory and prevent Alzheimer’s disease.
Designing a suitable space for physical activities, mental activities, recreation, intergenerational interaction are among the things that encourage the presence of the elderly in social spaces.
Design Process
1. Current status of the site / Rigid layout
2. Designing an environment that makes people of different ages feel good
3. Designing spaces with curves, more connection with nature
4. Considering the main spaces as circular

04. Wedding Dress and Suit Store
2020
Supervisors: Dr. Mohseni, Eng. Najafian
Since the bride and groom usually have to buy clothes from different places for their wedding ceremony, I decided to design a place where both the bride and the groom can try and purchase their clothes and shoes from the same place.
This project was designed in the third semester of Master of Interior Architecture for a commercial project in Zafaranieh, One of the streets in the expensive area of Tehran.
In fact, I chose this particular function due to the importance of need assessment and high earning in this area.
In the design process, I tried to create spatial hierarchies by the movement path, colors, and height of the spaces, so that while separating the space for the bride and the groom, they can also access each other.
Site Area: 350 m2
Location: Zaferanie, Tehran
Function: Commercial
Design Process
1. Volume partitioning for three different functions
3. Defining the communication path for commuting between spaces
Disadvantage: putting the entrance in the wrong place creating dumb space due to the winding interior corridors
Advantages: Focal point is in front of the entrance Splitting the space into two sections: the bride and groom parts
Chosen Alternative
2. Defining the input space in the middle of the volume
4. Defining different functions with different colors

05. Restaurant
Supervisors: Dr. Mohseni, Dr. Jalili
Pars Cafe was the first modern Iranian cafe and restaurant, a magnificent building that was built around 1330 on the northeast side of Lalezar Jamuri intersection. “Cafe Pars” is one of the last survivors of Lalezar’s glory era and has been introduced as one of the important historical works of Lalezar.
Lalezar Street is one of the oldest streets in Tehran. At the end of the Qajar period and the beginning of the Pahlavi period, it was a symbol of Iranian modernism and art, and it was called the Champs-Elysees of Tehran. Many theaters, restaurants, businesses, cabarets, crockery sellers, dress makers and cinemas are located on this street.
It was decided to design a post-modern style restaurant on the second floor of this building. The challenge was that we had to divide the space into parts so that people don’t encounter a large space at once, but instead experience different spaces step by step.
Cafe Pars, Lalehzar St, Tehran
Design Ideas
- Creating light shadow space by combining heavy and light volume
- Separation of spaces
Having a wide view of space
- Breaking the wide view by separating the spaces
- creating different experiences in the restaurant space
- Rotation of the central volume for better layout
- creating view to a central tree
- bringing nature into the space

06. Cafe 2019
Supervisors: Dr. Mohseni, Dr. Amir Jalili
High-tech buildings often have a wide range of materials reminiscent of industrial production. Steel, aluminum, glass, and concrete are commonly found in hightech structures. In this way, places with this style of interior design simulate industrial environments like factories.
In this project of the second semester of interior architecture, we were supposed to design a cafe with this unique style. This design required knowledge of high-tech style, so we studied the characteristics of this style.
The design was such that paying attention to the exposed structure, the use of special materials such as concrete and mostly neutral colors plus a sharp color became important.
Spaces:

2. Hidden Kitchen
3.Salon
4. Salon with Library
