KAMRAN HOUSE / IRAN


The Amordad design group combined traditional Iranian architecture, modern materials, and ancient know how to produce a beautiful environmentally friendly building.


"The concept of designing for the central void is derived from the form and application of traditional wind towers of desert regions of Iran. This void can lead the wind into the spaces in different floors around it. And because of applying the water in the bottom, it would also become cool and refreshed. In addition the void can also lead the natural light through the mirrors which are used in its body. These mirrors reflect the light to each other so that it can move down and get to the spaces even in the ground floor." - ArchDaily
