Zendegi Building / Faraman Design and Construction Office

A perspective that is clearly related to the simplicity and volumetric arrangement of the space and façade, as well as the way light is welcomed into the structure. The flow of light in the morning creates life within the structure by softly and slowly penetrating the internal areas via the façade, expressing the hope of being alive there, and restoring life. Our goal in creating the building was to create a special sort of place that was both intimate and self-sufficient, not too odd or distant but rather fairly close and familiar. Yes, this building prioritizes respect above all else since it coexists with other structures using just the barest of resources.

"By treating the subject as the object while designing interior spaces, we were able to improve the frequency of social meetings and group activities while also fostering a sense of identification and belonging. By adding a brick layer, we have lessened the quantity of grating Western light. With the idea of designing several balconies on the western side of the building and implementing adequate angles along with creating a suitable space to enjoy the view and interact with the exterior area, we were also successful in optimizing the usage of desirable southern light on the western side of the building."

"Visitors are welcomed by the singing of our historic pool within the Zendegi Building. Far from Tehran's bustle, water and light at the building's entryway create a wonderful environment. Earthenware jugs and fresh, green plants come together to remind us of our pleasant recollections. The warmth that the bricks' hearts radiate makes the space welcoming and delightful for visitors. Additionally, it provides us with the coolness of dusk throughout the warmer months."
