TEHRAN (Honaronline) – Five designs by Iranian architects have garnered awards at the Architecture MasterPrize (AMP) ceremony.
The Architecture MasterPrize is a global architecture award that recognizes design excellence. It was launched by the Farmani Group, a Los Angeles-based organization, which curates and promotes photography, design and architecture.
Maraajaan Gallery located in the central Iranian city of Isfahan was selected as a winner in the Other Interior Design category. The Iman Aminlari Architecture Studio has designed the gallery.
“A House for Two Generations”, a residence designed and implemented by the Super Void Space studio in Tehran, won a prize in the Interior Design section.
Mayan Villa was awarded in two categories, Residential Architecture - Single Family and Small Architecture.
It was designed in the northeastern Iranian city of Mashhad by Afshin Khosravian and Associates.
Designed by Studio Pousti, “Void+” won an award in the Residential Architecture - Multi Unit category.
The building tries to offer an alternative to conventional models of dwellings, which has resulted in dense building envelopes that lack a dialogue with their surroundings.
Located at the intersection of two main streets in the Velenjak neighborhood of Tehran, the Hitra Office Building was awarded in the Commercial Architecture section.
Hooba Design Group, the designer of the building, said that it reconsidered the morphology of a typical office building to enhance the lighting quality of the space and view without altering the optimum footprint of the building by reassessing regulations and limitations during the project’s primary investigations with the goal of optimizing natural lighting and view.
The 7th annual Architecture MasterPrize awards ceremony was held on November 24 at the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao, where more than 200 guests from over 71 firms were present.
