The design idea

In the process of designing Atrisa residential building, the only facade that we had was the south one. we tried to have a continuous facade despite the fact that the staircase was located on the south. The main idea of the facade design was formed from this point so that the facade could be seen as a shell.

Sew and interact to one another by forming 45-degree plates on both sides of the facade, bulk, and empty areas (such as terraces and apertures). The diversity of the terraces, the materials utilized, and the depth of the terraces all contributed to each neighboring unit's attempt to have a distinct character in comparison to the others. Lastly, each neighboring unit was in peaceful harmony with the others.

Design Process

Dividing the upper part of the facade into three parts due to the location of the staircase 

  1. Use of folded 45-degree plates to connect the façade from each end, use of vertical frames to create coherence vertically
  2. Placement of balconies and cavities in the façade 
  3. Placement of openings and other details 
  4. Final design
