Considering the main spatial elements of Iranian traditional architecture, such as light, water, plant, materials and colour, the architects tried to modernize a traditional architectural element. They enhanced the dynamics of the facade by special placing of the balconies with travertine frames.
The facade of the building is a double layer coverage of Thermowood and stained glasses which in addition to its aesthetic aspect coming from lighting effects, has an effective role in controlling the temperature. The balconies are framed with boxes made up of travertine and are placed in such a way that the configuration implies a dynamic composition.
