This project is located near a lake in Babolsar tourist zone, making it an important urban centre in the area. Having that in mind, one of the main criteria was to create an urban plaza within the building as a continuation of the surrounding urban area. This plaza becomes an urban route linking the adjacent streets where people could use to access the levels above and below the ground floor without entering the building. 

In an attempt to make the commercial units equally valuable in every level of the building, one side of the building was dedicated to a vertical parking lot accessible from every level of the building.

The commercial function of the complex could be divided into three main categories:

1.       The urban plaza which is directly connected to the city, which also acts as the main entrance to the commercial complex. This space attracts more people to visit the complex.

2.       The main commercial units which address the needs of people from all over the city.

3.       The food court on the top floor with view to the surroundings.

The exterior geometry of the project was shaped based on two criteria:

·         Creating variable aesthetic effects based on the position of the observer.

·         Increasing the surface area of the exterior showcases in order to better promote the commercial aspect of the complex.

Based on these criteria, the façade was shaped in layers which are opaque in one side and semi-transparent on the other side. Therefore, the perception of the observer changes as moving relative to the building. this perception changes from solid when the person is viewing the building form an angle, to semi-transparent when moving towards the building and eventually to transparent when arriving in front of the building. The glazing on the semi-transparent side is equipped with a special lighting system which could create variable effects as desired.
