HEKMAT MIXED-USE COMPLEX

Company: TPBA architects+planners Ltd. HOTEL

Location: Tehran, Iran

Year: 2006-2015 OFFICE

Cost: $0.2b

Area: 110.000m²

Sector: master planning, commercial,

Retail and Hospitality

Stage: Design (conceptual & detailed),

Construction supervision, contract management MALL

Status: Under construction

In 2005, as part of a strategic restructuring, owners

of this project acquired 3.5 acres of land in order

to develop a mixed-use complex consisting of :

- Office tower as their head-quarter

- Industrial kitchen to support office tower

- Shopping centre to provide service to the public

- 4-star Hotel to provide service to the public & staff

- Ancillary and service buildings to support the site

Site location is accessible from two major highways

and subway station and is in close proximity to the

international airport.

From an organizational perspective, the main goal 2

of the project was to amalgamate the numerous already existing facilities dispersed throughout city

and raising capital by liquidating those buildings &

concentrating all facilities into a single complex with

sufficient space and amenity.

From investment point of view, the goal of the

project was to create a new regional city centre

in order to benefit from commercial and retail

potential of the area which was already neglected.

Design was focused on the functionality of the

whole complex and the inter-relation of all buildings.

Aesthetics of buildings and facades in addition to

open public spaces, were important factors in order

to make the project more appealing to the public

and investors.

of 11storeies of which 8 basements are dedicated

to parking & the remaining 3, house 150 boutiques

& 2 multi- purpose public halls with total capacity of

a sense of fluidity with spiral-like form. This continuous

façade is decorated with numerous colored panels

to infuse the attractiveness & dynamism it deserved

to have in order to become the new regional

public centre. 2 1. View of east entrance from south 2. North elevation drawing 3. View of the main entrance from north

NARGES SHOPPING MALL 1

The same design principles as office tower were

used to produce a complete harmony between all

of the buildings of the master plan, from the point of

functionality and aesthetics to energy saving and

safety.

A courtyard has been provided in front of the main

entrance; that looks like a diamond-like glass atrium

and is located at the epicenter of the courtyard.

This is going to help the centre have a public

platform for different urban and cultural activities

and make it an integral part of the community

where everyone feels free to spend time in.

NARGES-TEHRAN HOTEL 1 2



Year: 2010-2012

Cost: $70M

Area: 38.000m²


Sector: Hospitality

Stage: Design (conceptual & detailed)

Status: Completed Hotel narges was the third major building in the

Hekmat’s master plan. This hotel was designed in

Two alternatives; the first one as a 5 star hotel in 38

stories and the second one was as 4 star hotel in 19

stories. The 5 star concept was dismissed because of

budget shortage. The tower soars above a 2 storey

podium which houses the main lobby, auditorium,

administrative offices, meeting rooms, concierge

& a coffee shop. Basements include parking space,

recreational spaces (gym, pool, sauna, squash),

mechanical & electrical rooms, housekeeping units,

laundry, staff changing rooms & lockers. The tower

houses hotel rooms with a total capacity of 250 beds.

As a result of close proximity of the site plan to the

International airport, the client was determined that

the potential of this hotel in the new centre was

going to attract a great deal of passengers locally & 3 4

internationally.

In order to achieve above goal, design was focused

on possibility of different customers and therefore the

hotel has the potential of being a business and at

the same time, leisure destination. Design took care

of different scenarios and made each one possible

by incorporating required amenities and services.

From a strategic point of view, this hotel belonged to

a family of hotels all around the country. Being a

part of HQ master plan, made this hotel a special

one to the client and their brand, therefore, we tried

to achieve the most attractive exterior shape while it

stays in harmony with other buildings of the site.

MARYAM SHOPPING MALL 1



Year: 2009-2011

Cost: $150M

Area: 130000m²


Sector: retail, commercial

Stage: Feasibility study, Design (conceptual &

Design development)

Status: under construction

Maryam shopping mall houses different retail shops,

food court, cinemas, restaurants, two anchor

department stores and a game land center. This

mixed-use mall has been designed according to

traditional bazaars of Iran which maintains inter-

connecting corridors and inner court yards, some

open to above and some closed. Design tried to

revitalize an old concept and modify it for the new

modern era. Using water fountains in each court yard

reminds us of the old souks and bazaars. Being a part

of gentrification project, the mall is located in centre

of one of the oldest neighborhoods of Tehran, thus

concept of bazaar was to pay a tribute to the rich

heritage of the neighborhood. It is equipped with 7

underground parking floors to accommodate public 2 with a free and sufficient space, as parking lots in the

area are precious commodities.

DAMAN MIXED-USE COMPLEX 1



Year: 2011-2012

Cost: $30M

Area: 22000m²


Sector: retail, commercial

Stage: Design (conceptual)


Daman mixed-use complex houses three storey of

retails, one storey of restaurant & food courts, and

6 floors of offices. This mixed-use mall is equipped

with 5 underground parking floors to accommodate

public with a free and sufficient space. Office tower

design is going to increase natural light and air flow

by help of a sponge like structure which will control

heat through sky gardens in each cavity of façade

& also sun shades and louvers. It’s like imagining the

hanging gardens of Babylon but with a modern

touch through sustainable design. Shopping mall is

designed as a spiral. A main ramp rising from the first

shopping floor to the top, encapsulating all retails

along its way to the top with some incidental stairs,

elevators & escalators to cut the long run short.

Sun rays & shadows play a significant role in 2 3

architectural experience.
