The main characteristic of this project is flexibility and indeterminacy: with the movement of the revolving rooms, both the interior spatial quality and the exterior form continuously change, creating an opening and closing — an introversion and extroversion — of the project. These changes can be utilized across different seasons or in various functional scenarios.

The Sharifi-ha project is designed in seven stories. The basement levels are dedicated to sports and recreation, the ground floor to parking and a caretaker unit, the first and second floors to public functions, and the third and fourth floors to bedrooms.

Like many urban blocks, the project site had considerable depth but limited street frontage. Therefore, the transformation of the two-dimensional facade into a three-dimensional volume took on a deeper meaning in this project. The building, through its opening and closing, was designed to function like traditional Iranian houses with their winter quarters (zemestan-neshin) and summer quarters (tabestan-neshin): in summer, an open, transparent volume full of porosity with deep, large terraces; in winter, a closed volume without terraces and with minimal openings.

The rotation technique in this project was quite simple — the same system used in revolving theater stages, automobile showrooms, steel smelting, and shipbuilding. The client, being an importer of CNC woodworking machines from Germany, preferred to have the system designed and built there.
