Persian Tradition Meets Modern Design
Faraman Design's Zendegi Building in Tehran blends Persian architectural traditions with modern functionality. Using culturally significant materials like brick, the western facade filters sunlight and maximizes natural light through angled balconies.
This design not only reflects Iran's heritage but also fosters interaction with outdoor spaces, making the building both functional and symbolic of life itself.
Community-Focused Design
Faraman Design's Zendegi Building fosters social interaction with communal spaces that encourage gatherings and a sense of belonging. The entrance, featuring a tranquil water element and traditional Persian garden aesthetics, offers a peaceful retreat.
The building’s modest scale and natural materials, including a heat-regulating brick facade, blend harmoniously with its urban surroundings while connecting to Iranian cultural heritage.
