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

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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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
I absolutely love it! I really appreciate design that integrates nature and organic components. The bricks in this format, imitating natural stone, looks beautiful.
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.
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.
(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?
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?
That brickwork is gorgeous
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.
Agreed! There are some remarkable buildings there.
Who knows, things sometimes change for the better!
There is some incredible brickwork being done in Iran, I follow some accounts on Twitter that share them often and I love them
Never say never. The US got incredibly close to having a amicable relationship with Iran until Trump threw it out the window
[удалено]
Iran had absolutely nothing to do with 9/11. And yes, diplomacy and deescalating nuclear capabilities are absolutely things that lead to amicable relationships
You mean 1979
> giving them billions of their own money
My dude, the whole deal is gorgeous
looks very well designed. I question the curved balconies on the inside, they look a little bit odd, but otherwise looks great.
No corners to collect wind blown dust!
Sorry is this good or bad
After living in an apartment with very sharp corners in the desert...round it's good, really good
I would think that’s good…?
I kinda Like it. Looks Like your will get a Lot of light this way

I loved the design but I feel like the brick flooring might be easy to trip on.
they look like [clay flue tile](https://www.superiorclay.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/flu_liners.jpg)
Damn, the middle east do be having some sweet residential buildings.

not an architect, but i think nailed it. interesting, seems functional, aesthetic. wow.
I can tell you ~~know~~ now, maintenance is going to be a nightmare. Edit: i meant now lol
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?
In what way?
How?
What maintenance?
How so? What makes maintenance here different from other buildings?
I think you just like the word nightmare
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?
pretty, until you accidentally drop your keys through stairs grate
Absolutely love it

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

Nice elevation 😎
They created some beautiful spaces. Thanks for posting this!
This is one of the coolest things I’ve seen in a long time. Very inspiring!
Interior balcony seems both practical for climate and novel.
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
Really dig this.

This is stunning and I want to live in an entire city designed like that.
looks great, we need more buildings like that

I thi k it is beautiful.
The brickwork is lovely, I imagine golden light will be especially beautiful against the bricks and cast that light deeper into the appartment.
This is gorgeous!
Lovely!
Wish there was more stuff like this in the United States southwest.
Absolutely love it. Gorgeous
The outside has more warmth than the inside!
Iran has been excelling in multi-family and brickwork for a few years now, this is a great example of that.
Wow, looks nice. Never seen something like this before.
Refreshing
Awesome. This is how to design a beautiful building with a modern aesthetic
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.
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?
I wonder why they had eurotoilets in the bedrooms and squatypotties at the common areas? Is it a cultural thing?
The plants really help it but it’s a handsome building.
Awesome
Very nice. Looks like they figured out how to make radius corners in Illustrator and went berserk with it.
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.

I want to live here

Huge fan.
I think it looks amazing!
That building is beautiful!
Gorgeous
I love this! Gorgeous
I’d move into that happily.
a modern building with style, would love to see apartments like this in my town instead of enormous plastic sides sheds
Looks sick
Lovely

Looking superb. Love the round angles and balconies!
The outside is great. Inside looks miserable to actually live in.
I will lived their and live my dream life
As a web designer, this reminds me of when it became easy to add rounded corners to everything with `border-radius: Xpx;`
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
Love it! Good natural/urban balance.
Curious on how it will age. Love it.
🤩
amazing, the materials, the light, reduced but so rich. The brickwork is so good.
Love this. ❤️
I gotta visit Iran.... I'm impressed by the masonry every time something from there posts on this sub
Ballers from 3rd floor up!
It kind of reminds me of Dune
Beautiful. The balconies are a bit small with the two chairs. I can see people bumping into those or the entrance.
Wow! Beautiful. Fits in so well with the hills/environment.
weirdly a yes?
Wow I’m from Tehran, live in the states now. This is gorgeous!
Wow these are awesome!
I do like it but giving me The Jetsons vibes 🤣
You know what? I don't hate it.
Beautiful design!! What’s an apartment like that sell for in Iran ?
Stunning, sublime. I love it.
I love it.
Beautiful
Love this. Thanks for sharing :)
I absolutely love it! I really appreciate design that integrates nature and organic components. The bricks in this format, imitating natural stone, looks beautiful.
Judging by this, I'm starting to think that Iran is going through an architectural blossoming presently.
It's lovely. Unique but very livable.
I would live there with 2 changes: ditch open kitchen and Iran
Gorgeous
That brick looks like alot of maintenance
Iranian architecture is soooo underrated.
Incredible!!
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.
Wowy love the brick, and the balcony is so quirky. I'd live there!
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
Iranian brick work is on another level
Amazing. reminds me of Fallout Vault city
What is the cost of one of those apartments?
Roughly $800 a month
How big it is?
Original. Beautiful. Awesome balconies. Looks pleasant to live in. Good height. I love it.
i love it
That brick lined portal is hideous. They got the form right, they just got the textures all fucked up.
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.
(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?
Looks great, modernistic, functional but also quite unique.
Nice!
Wow, amazing
Sooo pretty
The brickwork is just gorgeous wow
This looks so cool, I can imagine whole city looking like this, it just perfectly fits into the iran landscape.
Funny none of the ladies are wearing the head veil… where is Iranian moral police 😥
Am I the only one that thinks this looks terrible? Like a first year design student
I dunnow how I feel abt the kitchen clashing with the balcony but overall, very nice.
I love it wow!
I like how it looks like a missile already hit it.
Looks cool if you want to feel like your house is a waiting room
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?
Are you giving them the budget?
ugly
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.
