Architecture studio Hooba Design Group, along with architect Hooman Balazadeh, have recently completed a brick-clad office building in Tehran, with a scooped-out central void to allow natural light to flow into the building.
The Hitra Office and Commercial Building is located at a road intersection of the Valenjak neighborhood of Iran’s capital, and combines two floors of glazed commercial space with five red brick-clad office stories.
Instead of taking the typical approach of filling the site and placing a light well in the building’s centre, the Hitra Building’s “void” has been moved to its southern edge, creating a scoop in the building that draws in light and overlooks a new public square.
