MEHREGAN OFFICE BUILDING

Tehran, Iran
2004-2007
Grand Memar Award 2007, 5th Place

The project is a five-storey office building with existing steel frame structure for a development company situated on Gandhi street; prestigious business district in Tehran. The building is an urban infill with north and south exposure and east and west immediate neighbours. It accommodates five offices on upper levels, main lobby and parking on ground and more parking and storages on basement level.

Exterior feature of the building is the two facade skins that are designed thoroughly transparent in order to reflect the inside business life and allow maximum daylighting while adjustable aluminum louvers provide glare control and privacy. The building frontage promotes an enhanced streetscape and public realm and integrates the building into the overall urban fabric. The glazed ground level extends the streetscape frontage into the building lobby and promotes a degree of connectivity to the city. Interior spaces are designed as open offices with neutral colours to facilitate maximum workspace flexibility.
