About the project
Considering the mutual effect of the building and the city, increasing the interaction of the building and the city was our vision for the Hitra Commercial Office Building, located at the intersection of two main streets of Tehran, by redefining the regulations.
Regarding the regulation of not exceeding 60% of occupation of the land In Tehran, a central light well to provide light to the central units is mandatory. Therefore, in reevaluating the morphology of this project we relocated the central void to the facade to form a plaza letting people interact with the commercial zones through the welcoming entrance connecting to the northern entrance of the building, as an alley within the building.
Following the regulation of 40% glass usage to other materials on the facade, an integrated double-skin façade was created with the inner continuous glass and outer porous skin by brick and torques metal frames, forming modules that enable bigger and various sizes of openings on the façade.
