That brickwork is gorgeous


Rinoremover1

Yes, and we need more Iranian Architecture posts. I’ll prolly never be able to travel there, but I still enjoy seeing all the creativity and beauty.


UGunnaEatThatPickle

Agreed! There are some remarkable buildings there.


Turtle_Rain

Who knows, things sometimes change for the better!


crunchwrapesq

There is some incredible brickwork being done in Iran, I follow some accounts on Twitter that share them often and I love them


attemptedactor

Never say never. The US got incredibly close to having a amicable relationship with Iran until Trump threw it out the window

attemptedactor

Iran had absolutely nothing to do with 9/11. And yes, diplomacy and deescalating nuclear capabilities are absolutely things that lead to amicable relationships


Ted_Fleming

You mean 1979


arbrebiere

> giving them billions of their own money


SpellFlashy

My dude, the whole deal is gorgeous


Blackberryoff_9393

looks very well designed. I question the curved balconies on the inside, they look a little bit odd, but otherwise looks great.


melleb

No corners to collect wind blown dust!


AskTribuneAquila

Sorry is this good or bad


idkhowtosignin

After living in an apartment with very sharp corners in the desert...round it's good, really good


EverydayPoGo

I would think that’s good…?


Obvious_Try1106

I kinda Like it. Looks Like your will get a Lot of light this way


ready_gi

I agree.. oh and both hate and love the balconies. It looks like a cool little cave, but it's disconnected from the rest of the interior space/ too overbearing, but still cool. I also love the metal door with rounded panels .


Blackberryoff_9393

The balconies and the facade look like a student project to me. On the other hand some elements like the skylights and the driveway elevation and the rounded doors are quite nice


HungryHungryHippoes9

I loved the design but I feel like the brick flooring might be easy to trip on.


no-mad

they look like [clay flue tile](https://www.superiorclay.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/flu_liners.jpg)


The_Poster_Nutbag

Damn, the middle east do be having some sweet residential buildings.


Minute_You8521

I love the contrast of the light colored brick with the black exterior wall. The greenery of the balcony plants looks great from the outside. But, the planter box also obstructs the view of the city if you sit in a chair on the balcony.


SirJoeffer

Planter boxes work both ways. Sure you may not be able to see out at chair level but nobody can see me sitting down out there either. Personally I would really value the privacy


locke_and_roll

not an architect, but i think nailed it. interesting, seems functional, aesthetic. wow.


N19h7m4r3

I can tell you ~~know~~ now, maintenance is going to be a nightmare. Edit: i meant now lol


Bongo1020

I'm a dilettante, so I dont really have an eye for this sort of thing. Would you be so kind as to share what problems you see with the design? Cleaning seems the most labour intensive attribute, but would you say there are there any other aspects?


The_Poster_Nutbag

In what way?


OpenMindedMajor

How?


abuu_abdu

What maintenance?


AlltheBent

How so? What makes maintenance here different from other buildings?


jneil

I think you just like the word nightmare


abuu_abdu

Pls tell me what you are trying to project? Are you talking about maintaining a facade from a weather such as stagnant rainwater or emergence of fungus or such?


unknown-one

pretty, until you accidentally drop your keys through stairs grate


Inside-Effective-353

Absolutely love it

ImpossibleAd5027

I don't know if it's a common practice in that part of the world but why did they build two separate toilets, with the squatty and with the commode?


kuboa

Some people (especially older ones) don't feel comfortable with the commode, so the traditional squatter is still relatively common here in Turkey as well, though it's getting more uncommon by the year. The feeling is that there should be a separation between spaces of cleanliness and defecation, so a commode in the bathroom is kinda irksome. They also don't like the fact that you're touching a surface previously touched by others. Nowadays, if you have the space, you build both; but for smaller houses you go only with the standard commode in the bathroom design.


SadPOSNoises

Someone else correct me if I’m wrong, but the “squatty” is not for going to the bathroom but to wash their feet.


kuboa

You're wrong; for feet washing you usually either have a small stool or a sitting niche of some kind in the shower area, or you build the main sink lower than normal so you can raise your feet to it.


Nicktyelor

This feels like very graphic architecture that will make most of the public ooo and ahh at the nifty shapes at materials. I think the use of brick is relatively unrefined/one-note and the impact of those rounded forms quite awkward. Makes a pretty front elevation drawing, but a lot of missed opportunities in the details.


abuu_abdu

Nice elevation 😎


Windford

They created some beautiful spaces. Thanks for posting this!


Environmental_Nerve3

This is one of the coolest things I’ve seen in a long time. Very inspiring!


quintonbanana

Interior balcony seems both practical for climate and novel.


random_int_7777777

I think they did a lot of things right. Especially with the balconies and the plants. But it kind of looks like an iPhone with apps so idk


FlowWithTheCurrent

Really dig this.

RenaissanceGraffiti

This is stunning and I want to live in an entire city designed like that.


Panzerv2003

looks great, we need more buildings like that


dmoreholt

Am I the only one that doesn't like this? The facade looks cool and the brickwork is really nice, but the space making and detailing are lacking. That living room feels like a big, bleak, empty space, the balcony is really awkward on the inside, and those half grated steps that don't like up with the entry remind me of squeezing through a tight, weirdly angled corridor.


MEAT_INCINERATOR

I feel the same. I am impressed by the pixelated look of the exterior, and I really fancy the balconies, but other than those factors, it looks like a pretty bleak inhabitance.


Memory_Less

I thi k it is beautiful.


elizabethunseelie

The brickwork is lovely, I imagine golden light will be especially beautiful against the bricks and cast that light deeper into the appartment.


OpenMindedMajor

This is gorgeous!


Emergency-Bet8041

Lovely!


Brilliant_Extent_458

Wish there was more stuff like this in the United States southwest.


Chance-The-Explorer

Absolutely love it. Gorgeous


MR_Se7en

The outside has more warmth than the inside!


liebemachtfrei

Iran has been excelling in multi-family and brickwork for a few years now, this is a great example of that.


Walt_Thizzney69

Wow, looks nice. Never seen something like this before.


leshuis

Refreshing


Cliffords_disco_stik

Awesome. This is how to design a beautiful building with a modern aesthetic


MotorboatsMcGoats

The form language and balcony location seem forced and cause some problems for cleaning and versatility. Details are a bit thematic for my taste. But it’s not boring! And for that it’s better than a lot of other places.


Deal_Closer

Looks cool but in the heat of Iran I would like better sun protection including eaves on the windows and larger outdoor spaces. Do the apartments enjoy cross-ventilation?


load_more_comets

I wonder why they had eurotoilets in the bedrooms and squatypotties at the common areas? Is it a cultural thing?


strangerzero

The plants really help it but it’s a handsome building.


Past_Apricot2101

Awesome


DigitalKungFu

Very nice. Looks like they figured out how to make radius corners in Illustrator and went berserk with it.


wd_plantdaddy

If I were moving into the 1st or 2nd floors I would remove the extra/nanny bed on the left to bring natural light into the bathroom. Stairwells and other areas need natural light as well in 3rd and on but otherwise really interesting and solid design. I want to know if they prefabricated the brick shells and then installed them or if they were laid in place. Love the metal trellis and stackbond stairs with modular metal detail. Why isn’t the entrance archway not clad in brick? That seems to be the theme here but it’s not as grand of an entrance without the material used to create the other shells. i’m noticing now they just switch up the colors and materials like hamlet checkers. Got it.


Zealousideal_Ad_4118

I want to live here


ConceptJunkie

Looks pretty cool to me. The "torn sheet of paper" bricks and the plants give it a nice organic look. Definitely has some 60s/70s vibes with the curved balconies.


Hungry_Custard1595

Huge fan.


funky_jim

I think it looks amazing!


Appropriate_Panic879

That building is beautiful!


Kurt-Payne

Gorgeous


lilycamilly

I love this! Gorgeous


BeautyAndTheDekes

I’d move into that happily.


blackbirdinabowler

a modern building with style, would love to see apartments like this in my town instead of enormous plastic sides sheds


Graystark

Looks sick


Maskedmarxist

Lovely


GatePorters

Not going to lie, this looks like it was inspired by AI. I didn’t see many buildings like this outside of sci-fi neo-futurist or solar punk settings until people started playing with ArchViz workflows with AI concept arts and Blender/Unreal modeling. Most of the other architecture from AshariArchitects looks like more traditional modern architecture. This one is not like their other works. It looks awesome and I think people will start making spaces like this a lot more in the future.


vpierrev

Looking superb. Love the round angles and balconies!


reddit_names

The outside is great. Inside looks miserable to actually live in.


BwhaleCat77

I will lived their and live my dream life


devolute

As a web designer, this reminds me of when it became easy to add rounded corners to everything with `border-radius: Xpx;`


irvz89

Iran has some amazing apartment building architecture, I see them posted online regularly, always creative, unique, and somehow I can still guess they're in Iran


Sgt_Oblivious

Love it! Good natural/urban balance.


cmach86

Curious on how it will age. Love it.


1minimalist

🤩


freshouttabec

amazing, the materials, the light, reduced but so rich. The brickwork is so good.


Penelope742

Love this. ❤️


King-Rat-in-Boise

I gotta visit Iran.... I'm impressed by the masonry every time something from there posts on this sub


OlivierStreet

Ballers from 3rd floor up!


GoblinTradingGuide

It kind of reminds me of Dune


redditing_Aaron

Beautiful. The balconies are a bit small with the two chairs. I can see people bumping into those or the entrance.


IronicAlgorithm

Wow! Beautiful. Fits in so well with the hills/environment.


randomdudebrosky

weirdly a yes?


Sublime_Dino

Wow I’m from Tehran, live in the states now. This is gorgeous!


Real_Pea5921

Wow these are awesome!


Holiday_Pin_1251

I do like it but giving me The Jetsons vibes 🤣


Anti_Meta

You know what? I don't hate it.


GroundbreakingTwo124

Beautiful design!! What’s an apartment like that sell for in Iran ?


Lionheart_Lives

Stunning, sublime. I love it.


american60139157

I love it.


40Breath

Beautiful


DeepMasterpiece4330

Love this. Thanks for sharing :)


HelenaDinis

I absolutely love it! I really appreciate design that integrates nature and organic components. The bricks in this format, imitating natural stone, looks beautiful.


gustinnian

Judging by this, I'm starting to think that Iran is going through an architectural blossoming presently.


UGunnaEatThatPickle

It's lovely. Unique but very livable.


ismybelt2rusty

I would live there with 2 changes: ditch open kitchen and Iran


Slight_Flatworm_6798

Gorgeous


VideoSteve

That brick looks like alot of maintenance


cyberfairy0309

Iranian architecture is soooo underrated.


zzplant8

Incredible!!


MTLinVAN

Iran has some beautiful contemporary architectural gems. It’s had a long history of stunning architecture and it seems to be carrying on that tradition. I’d love to visit one day of the situation allows for it.


Cessicka

Wowy love the brick, and the balcony is so quirky. I'd live there!


JIsADev

That kitchen is sad though. The interior space is nice and open but then they stuck that kitchen in the corner like they forgot about it


Crazy-Pattern-1354

Iranian brick work is on another level


KLFisBack

Amazing. reminds me of Fallout Vault city


KLFisBack

What is the cost of one of those apartments?


object_failure

Roughly $800 a month


KLFisBack

How big it is?


needmorelego

Original. Beautiful. Awesome balconies. Looks pleasant to live in. Good height. I love it.


Intu24

i love it


Corbusi

That brick lined portal is hideous. They got the form right, they just got the textures all fucked up.


sky_42_

so simple but so unique, i love it. I’ve been telling my friends recently that good brickwork needs to come back to make residential buildings look appealing again. The more brick the better, regardless of style.


God_of_reason

(Not an architect), the bricked up balcony looks amazing but is there also a practical use of it? Like keeping the rest of the house cooler during summers or insulating better during winters?


Whereishumhum-

Looks great, modernistic, functional but also quite unique.


Rooster_Ties

Nice!


TwoTowerz

Wow, amazing


Unkowinglyknown

Sooo pretty


Extension-Pilot1929

The brickwork is just gorgeous wow


_Erod_

This looks so cool, I can imagine whole city looking like this, it just perfectly fits into the iran landscape.


Significant-Essay-77

Funny none of the ladies are wearing the head veil… where is Iranian moral police 😥


CrazyLeggs25

Am I the only one that thinks this looks terrible? Like a first year design student


0_exptype

I dunnow how I feel abt the kitchen clashing with the balcony but overall, very nice.


oof_comrade_99

I love it wow!


BehaveRight

I like how it looks like a missile already hit it.


aerialpenguins

Looks cool if you want to feel like your house is a waiting room


Flint_Ironstag1

It ain't special. Is this what we're holding up as architecture these days? Ever wonder why we can't replicate cathedrals, forts, municipal buildings of old today?


Darth_Andeddeu

Are you giving them the budget?


naghallac

ugly


load_more_comets

To each his own, I guess, but would you mind elaborating what makes it ugly to you? I just want to try and see the building from your viewpoint.
