Darrous Court Residence

Shortlisted for a housing project that returns the courtyard to a dense Tehran block without nostalgia. The jury noted the discipline of the plan, in which twelve apartments each read through a cut void, and the shallow pool that returns reflected light to the lowest flats.

Note

A shortlist is not a prize and we have not pretended otherwise. What it gave us was the documentation process: the technical review asked questions about running cost and maintenance that no client had asked. We changed how we brief clients afterwards.
