The client was a private sector company specializing in building materials (Pipes and fittings). The main plan was to develop office use while providing an attractive space for the visitors through design and organizational order apparent in the building. The main thing we wanted to achieve with the building's design was avoiding provide an icon, but rather aimed at creating a neutral form in high density urban texture. In order to care about building context we know that office buildings in 70-80s in Tehran had similar characters. One of great Iranian architects "Abdol Aziz Farman-Farmaian" has built two complexes in site?s neighborhood in 1970s which are considered as contemporary Iranian architecture ( Abdol Aziz Farman-Farmaian he proceeded to create one of Iran?s most important modern-day architectural legacies). We tried to use the same contemporary motifs to build a modern office building today. These motifs mainly point to simplicity and repetition in facades. This is what makes for harmony in the context.
