Bio-Design Architects Completes A Unique Brick Residential Complex in Iran | Fascinating Facade

Chapireh Residential Build

Completed in 2020 in Dezful City, Iran, this is a beautiful residential estate conceived and realised by Bio-Design Architects.

Hence, the project gets its name 'Chapireh Residential Complex'.

The firm used indigenous architectural patterns such as lattice bricks, entrance porch, Sabat, and alignment in the alleys in the design.  Read more about this distinctive building complex in detail below at SURFACES REPORTER (SR):
