the ‘farmanieh’ residential tower is a living concept created in collaboration by ZAAD studio and marz design. conceived in the context of tehran, iran, the cylindrical form adds to the list of recent high-rise developments quickly transforming the planned area from orchards to urban. its radial geometry offers panoramic views, with horizontal discs that form exterior spaces at each level.

geometry integration

individual units are shuffled and reoriented on the planar discs, creating habitable space that extends beyond the façade. the experience of living at high altitude was a focal point of the project, which was met in agreement with the familiar scale of a suburban home. natural lighting slices through levels at pre-determined points to provide interiors with sufficient illumination. ‘farmanieh’ offers a comfortable living environment that is in constant dialogue with its residents, itself, and the larger urban context of tehran.
