The Abadan Residential Building is a four-unit apartment complex. The building’s three-sided exposure, along with the importance of benefiting from the surrounding views while simultaneously controlling energy consumption through the creation of shade, played a fundamental role in shaping the project’s form. The construction of the building employs local building technologies, materials, and labor.

One of the first aspects considered in the design was the advantage of locating the project on a three-sided site and the opportunity to benefit from diverse views through large windows. However, given the project’s location in Abadan and the importance of addressing the region’s climatic challenges—such as high humidity and extreme heat—the design process focused on mitigating these issues by using the building form itself as a shading device, designing windows with a depth of 60 centimeters to control harsh sunlight, and applying light-colored materials on the building façade to enhance thermal comfort and ensure a high quality of spatial experience.
