AnDo Residential Building / NextOffice

The AnDo Project—which literally translates to those two in Farsi—is an attempt to create new types of residence in infill plots. By freeing the circulation and intermixing it with the open spaces of the terrace, the entrance, and the yard, the two units in each level have been turned into a vibrant yet peaceful residential complex, with each unit maintaining its independence from the other while participating in a perpetual dance with the help of the playful stairway that joins the pair. The two synchronous masses and the stairway that seems stuck in between create variegated spatial sequences and united with their open spaces like a three-dimensional promenade.
