Residential Villa Design with Integrated Commercial Spaces – Shahrud Project (Arch)

Arch

One of my standout architectural projects was a modern residential villa designed in Shahrud, where I handled both Phase 1 (Conceptual) and Phase 2 (Detailed Architectural Design).

The project was located along a key urban route, which meant that in addition to designing a high-quality living environment for a family, I was also required to integrate two commercial retail units at the ground level to align with the street’s commercial context.

From the beginning, my focus was on balancing contemporary aesthetics with practical urban integration. The villa was designed with modern architecture principles, using innovative materials that blended durability, sustainability, and visual appeal.

Key Design Features:

  • Modern architectural language with clean lines and bold forms
  • Use of new-generation materials for both structure and façade
  • Ground-floor commercial spaces designed for visibility and accessibility
  • Upper-level private residential space with natural light and privacy in mind
  • Functional spatial organization tailored to the lifestyle of a modern family

This project was a great opportunity to work at the intersection of urban design, private housing, and commercial needs, and to push creative boundaries while still respecting functional requirements and zoning regulations.

It remains one of my favorite projects — not just for the design challenge, but for the human-centered solution it offered.
