Park Center Mixed-Use Building

 

This project addresses the challenges of urban density and introduces innovative solutions in architectural space and parking design. Initially, the main issue was the lack of parking in high-density commercial and office projects, which caused dissatisfaction among investors and city residents. The design team was able to provide creative solutions, such as the introduction of mezzanine parking levels where the surfaces overlap, significantly increasing the number of parking spaces.

Another key aspect of this project was the use of two-story courtyards as open, shared spaces between office units. These courtyards not only enhance the quality of life within the building but also allow natural light to penetrate deep into the units. By convincing the municipality to exclude these spaces from the gross floor area calculations, the design team enabled the developer to benefit from architectural quality without the need to increase density-related costs.

Ultimately, this project succeeded in achieving a balance between the interests of the developer, the end user, and the city through structural and spatial innovations. These solutions not only resolved existing issues but also created new opportunities in terms of density and urban spatial typologies.

Since Bonsar’s establishment, more than 100 different projects have been done in the studio which leads into several national and international awards.

“Furniture Showroom and Warehouse, 2005”, one of the most famous projects of the studio won the first prize of “Memar architecture national award” and has been published in different national books and magazines. Also it has been published in “The PHAIDON Atlas of 21st Century of World Architecture “. “VillaShahr Residential Complex” is another project of the studio which has been shortlisted in “World Architecture Festival, Barcelona 2009”.

In recent years, the approach towards city and its correlation with architecture has been one of the dominant concerns of design process in the studio. Studying the relation between filled and void spaces not only in the context of the architectural form, but also in relation with the buildings threshold with the city, is another leading concerns of the studio in latest projects.
