Nestled On a plot of land (1000 sqm) that lies about 24 kilometers to the northeast of Isfahan, and neighbored by Zyandehrood River to the south, the house was commissioned to be a duplex that faces the river for a family of four. The project is located in the peripheral realms of Kaaj village, a historic rural setting where remnants of a mosque and a ruined residential fortress from the Ilkhanid dynasty remained.

Annab House is a two-story project designed to serve as both a private home and a guest house, meeting the family's needs. The design prioritizes the preservation of the site's natural elements, most notably an ancient Annab tree (jujube). One of the key concepts was to create a pathway leading from the site entrance to a small courtyard, with a unique staircase. This staircase would serve as a prominent and inviting feature. Additionally, numerous small voids were designed to direct natural light into interior spaces, creating a unique spatial atmosphere.

Mr. Khajavi, the father of the family, desired a secluded villa in Damavand to enjoy his retirement immersed in nature and away from the crowds. And more importantly, he aimed to relocate his vast book collection, which had been gathering dust in a Tehran storage unit for years waiting to be read, to this new villa, where he could spend his days lost in books and occasionally host loved ones.

Sometimes, doing nothing brings about things that the biggest one cannot handle. Sometimes, not-building can create an atmosphere that any construction would not improve its feeling. Subtracting from what is to be, adding to what is not to be. Something that can hardly be seen and is the only interface among the various spaces that make sense along each other. A pathway that prompts the mind to move so that the man can find life in it. A complementing void that defines exterior and interior, promenade and stillness, intimate corners of light and shadow which create a charming micro-universe in unity with the whole architecture where your presence in it fluctuates between inside and outside.

Afshar Residential Building / Ayeneh Office

The Afshar family residential complex is located in the dense urban context of Tehran. Before the client offered us the project, the structure was ordered and almost ready to be fixed. We made some voids and revised the project in terms of the patio's meaning. As parents, the clients wanted the complex to include three houses, One larger house for themselves and two houses for their children. On the first three floors, two duplex units are designed, and the two last levels are allocated to the parents, so a common neighborhood space was essential; meanwhile, the southern alley was not wide and unable to offer a spectacular view, which led to the formation of the most important architectural decision of the project: creating introverted houses neighboring each other with a strong connection with the northern yard.

Mid-Ridge Villa / EZ Studio

Words are rooting, just as do trees. The line is the root and the architecture the same as the word. The tree, as the rising child. The architecture is the border of living. Living between inside and outside. Each element is a term that, when collocates with others, creates a sentence of space.

White Villa / EZ Studio

It is a renovation project, named White Villa, as the existing building has been preserved and its structure reinforced and only volumes have been added to improve its spatial performance. The house was designed for a young couple who wanted a peaceful weekend retreat. Free of city’s uproar, they wanted to hold private ceremonies and social events. The house was designed in order to be constantly in touch with nature, meanwhile maintaining harmonious in-and-out relationship and privacy (appropriate to the local culture of the region).
