Desert Residential Complex

This Residential Complex is located on the northwestern edge of the Kerman, Iran.

The location offers remarkable views to residents as well as access to refreshing onshore breezes. The apartments are situated to provide expansive views of the mountains from all interior spaces, and from exterior courtyards and the large roof terrace, which have become popular gathering spaces. The buildings and landscape promote the active use of exterior spaces, encouraging interaction among students with outdoor circulation that leads to chance encounters, convenient spaces for individual and group activity, and spaces conducive to congregating.

 

The apartment buildings are arranged in a L-shape around a courtyard that creates a new social zone. The L-shape building around a courtyard blocks the unfavorable wind from the northwest side. 

The units are divided into three groups:

- Units with 2000 sq.ft area

- Units with 1600 sq.ft area

- Units with 1300 sq.ft area

 

The smaller units are located in the east edge of the site to block the sound for the bigger units.
