Crystal 40, a 4-unit apartment commissioned by a family consisting of the family’s grandparents, mother and young son. The project is from a land with an area of approximately 300 square meters located in one of the alleys of Mohtasham Kashani Street in Isfahan, with two sides of light from the south and east walls, which was designed based on the scenario and family needs, in semi-old texture and dense brick buildings and urban development, Began. In this project, the line of thought was tracked based on the adaptation of outdoor and indoor spaces in line with the dominant concept. One of the most obvious events resulting from this line of thought is the disruption of structural strength and the dominance of form and the transformation of openings into system-breaking and eye-catching formats, which evoke meaning and life at a turning point called the exterior. Creating spaces full of life and free from death, the main concept guide was in the contrast of white and black, full and empty, light and dark, outside and inside, light and shadow, which justified turning points, dividing lines, expressive levels and finally Volumes representing all life made the Crystal 40.
It all started with the original layout and format of the plan and penetrated the shell. From the same proportion and order of the rectangle next to the trapezoid, each side of which made an angle of communication with the other. Here everything was invited to the contrast that shadow and light appeared with dark angles on the façade and Automatic irrigation system was used for permanent greenery of the facade. In interior design, the steering wheel was placed in the hands of the stone floor material, and this geometric order began in the ceilings and the symmetry of everything and nothing.
Now, with a clear and progressive path, the place of expression of the deep tectonic thinking of the architect was revealed more than before. Eye-catching on the condition of modernity paved the way for a greater change than conventional forms, the movement from modernity to the details of detail, which all increased the depth of vision in calling more or less details and placing them correctly in the forms outside and inside. This time it forced the passerby to stop and enjoy the eyes and the soul.
