The principal morphology of the design was inspired by bazaars such as Sar-Shoor, Farsh, and Reza. Among the key characteristics of such bazaars is the porch-like entrance hall that, similar to the main portal, guides the pedestrians inside. Individual arches and porches all ultimately lead to the bazaar’s main entrance. Using vaults and arches to cover large openings is another visual characteristic of bazaars.
The formation of balconies in the houses of Kang village in suburban Mash-had greatly contributed to the project’s layered garden design.
The presence of adjacent Mellat Park allowed a visual path to the park which created better views and more accessible gateways for visitors. This opening was inspired by the Kang village near Mash-had, where ground floor layers are connected to the upper layers using a walking pathway.
One of the main ideas in the project’s future design is connections to the city, using pedestrian bridges to create safe and enjoyable walkways. The important principle behind the design of such bridges is to incorporate nature and green spaces as platforms situated in different areas around the project, resulting in a more pleasant experience and a net positive environmental effect.
The flat middle garden acts as the project’s main connection hub and is the promenade ultimately enabling circulation between the project and the bridges. The public garden floors, much like the bridges, extend available views, improving the relationship between business units and visitors.
The suspended courtyards, situated between the office areas, provide a green space for all floors and business units, as well as sufficient and direct light for office spaces. The designers worked to ensure proper distance between the current business units to allow for a beautiful and open landscape.
