🗺️

Define

Site

  • The chosen site is in District 22, specifically the Chitgar neighborhood, offering easy access to amenities such as Iran Mall, Chitgar Lake, and more and its area spans approximately 13,020 square meters.

Geographic Location of Tehran

  • Tehran, the capital of Iran, and the center of Tehran Province, sits at an elevation of approximately 1,119 meters above sea level.

Climate and Wind

The site experiences prevailing westward winds throughout the year, with an annual precipitation of 281 millimeters, mainly concentrated in winter and spring. The Qibla direction is approximately 33 degrees southwest.

The site is exposed to noise pollution, particularly along Hemmat Highway, Daryacheh Boulevard, and Jozani Boulevard. However, it experiences less noise pollution compared to nearby areas due to its reasonable distance from these roadways, although some noise is associated with traffic on the northern side of Mokhtari Boulevard during peak hours.

Due to its location within the 35-degree latitude circle and in the northern hemisphere, the climate in Tehran is generally warm and dry. The preferred wind direction at the site is from the north, with the dominant wind coming from the east.

Solar radiation occurs predominantly from east to west in Tehran, with a steeper angle during the winter months but without extreme cold conditions.

Shape

Carefully analyzing environmental factors and their effects. I began with a solid structure of allowable height, considering Tehran's warm climate. To mitigate wind effects and enhance the guest experience, I reduced the height and refined the building's shape to offer views of the lake.

Space

Spaces were divided into general, semi-general, private, and semi-private areas. The basement accommodated parking and utility rooms, the ground floor focused on the lobby and service offerings, the first floor featured a library and bedrooms, and the upper floors were designed with guest privacy in mind.
