Project description

The Shafagh Commercial and Office Complex project spans a spectrum from foundational concepts to planning and design.
Fundamentals: Macro-level ideas and suggestions have shaped not only the final design but also the spatial planning, influencing the project’s foundational structure.
Planning: This involves translating the fundamentals into quantitative and operational decisions, setting the groundwork for transforming needs and spatial requirements into an architectural design.
Design: The architectural phase that refines the quantitative planning into functional, formal, and spatially organized ideas.
Key Considerations:
  1. Urban Context:
    • Design facades that enhance the cityscape on Hormozan and Shafagh streets.
    • Promote pedestrian flow, particularly along the Shafagh axis.
    • Maximize the strategic position at the intersection of two main streets without adding urban congestion.
  2. Architectural Approach:
    • Efficiently organize commercial and office spaces for optimal function.
    • Achieve high-quality design and execution that honors the project’s prestigious nature.
  3. Site-Specific:
    • Respond to two major urban frontages with careful placement of activities, access points, and facade design.
    • Address the corner positioning by considering activity, access, and design.
    • Massing strategy considering open and closed space ratios, natural light penetration, and optimal access.
  4. Client’s Vision:
    • Aim for high service, spatial, and equipment quality, blending office and commercial functions.
    • Maximize usable space with economic considerations.
