Rouzan
Rouzan is a residential building in Isfahan, Iran. The design brings together a traditional Iranian house and a modern apartment. The facade is made of bricks produced from local materials, aligned vertically with concave sections and sharp angles. Semi-transparent bricks and wooden canopies with decorative niches and cavities recall traditional Iranian homes. The rooftop holds a water fountain, a garden and a barbecue area. Electrical rotating canopy windows are controlled remotely, expanding to admit more sunlight in winter and contracting to limit heat in summer.
Rouzan Residential Building by Seyed Hamed Jafari has been identified as an outstanding example of architectural design by the A' Design Award. Rouzan Residential Building won the Iron A' Design Award in Architecture, Building and Structure Design in 2020. The A' Architecture, Building and Structure Design Award is an international, jury-voted, fair and ethical design accolade which recognizes exceptional design of skyscrapers, museums, residential buildings, commercial complexes, educational institutions, religious structures, infrastructure designs, landscaping projects and more.
