• The building is located in Pardis Technology Park in Tehran suburb.• The propose building is located in 1300

square meters lot with 3 open sides• In spite of being small building but

numerous parameters has made the project complex.• The design approach focused on an

interaction between technology, site, function and landscape. To connect the spaces, the building is organized in a pyramidal form, with offices located in upper levels and workhouses located in a transparent enclosure on the lower levels

KEY POINTS:

• In meantime for affording connectivity of spaces the proposed physical diagram to organize buildings elements is pyramid form that is working by dividing the whole program to horizontal levels which are well connected vertically by transparent lift that provide entity of the building so Offices will locate in upper levels and workhouses are basically located in lower level with transparent enclosure in entrance of building that gives visitor’s chance of being aware of company production.

CONNECTIVITY:

PASSIVE TECHNIQUESUSED IN BUILDING

• With considerations toward continuity of site views, heat control, renewable energy use and water collection, the form was generated. Through the angular shape, skyline and landscape continuity is preserved, and the angled roof is ideal for solar panels.The inclined roof is voided throughout to create a single path from ground to roof. This helps light lower-level terraces indirectly and promotes passive cooling. Each terrace serves a different purpose; the upper ones are gathering places for visitors, and the lower ones are relaxation areas for employees.

• A double-skin facade with an internal surface of photochromic glass, helps allow in natural light while controlling heat gain. A gridded facade aids this, with the size of the grid changing size according to orientation – on the west-face, the facade allows less light in, while the north allows more, and the south controls its exposure to promote a green roof.

The volume is drawn out of the ground, to save skyline and landscape continuity of whole site, with 30 degree slop that is optimum angle for solar panels in this region which are going to be installed on its green roof. Its specific form provide triangle corner in north side of volume that inspired designers for having entrance there, which motivate people to enter the building.

The peak points made during design process are as below:SITE VIEW CONTINUITYHEAT CONTROLWATER COLLECTIONRENEWABLE ENERGY USES

TRANSPARENT FACADES• In designing facades transparency is key

points as it is believed for having more active circumstance in offices, should provide transparency and take more natural light inside with consideration the climate of the site; specific design will be needed to control mass of heat gaining. Consequently a glass volume with double skin facades is designed with internal surface of photochromic glass and lightweight material flat sheets in outer layer which are cuts in the shape of perpendicular cubic grids.

• On the other hand for preventing from undesired west-light, this grid has changed in size to ease light more than other sides. North side has conducted pleasant amount of light in and in South side of the building has enough light exposure that is adequate for green roof.
