Firouzmandan House earned joint Second Place in Residential Buildings at the 12th Memar Award with 8 jury points, tying with Kouhsar Villa. Located in the new city of Lar, Fars Province, the house was designed by Behrouz Shahbazi and Mohammad Foroutan over a five-year period. The design responds to the hot and arid climate of southern Iran, incorporating traditional spatial strategies such as courtyards and thick walls to provide thermal comfort while maintaining a contemporary architectural language.
