The Roof House project, situated on the roof of a car showroom in Kermanshah, challenges conventional beliefs about residential spaces. This project explores alternative ways to transfigure the house concept and shift its understanding from a new perspective. It reinterprets the generic house through three key concepts: Destruction, where external forces deform the house; Explosion, where structural and non-structural elements exaggerate and withdraw from the debris; and Expansion, where objects dominate others by spreading their essence.

Residential House
The Hidden Boxes project responds to the ongoing dominance of monotonous spatial structures in contemporary architecture, despite historical concepts like Raumplan, Domino, and Universal Plan. It seeks to deconstruct these configurations to create a new synthesis, addressing both internal architectural concerns as spatial organization, the Mass/Void relationship, and surface interactions and external factors, including climate, privacy, and cultural needs.
