Apartment No. 74 in Tehran, designed by Platform Tehran Architecture Office (Mehran Davari, Elmira Shirvani, Niloufar Najafi). The project was recognized as a Jury Selection at the 20th Memar Award (2020). During the jury deliberations, Sirous Bavar noted: "When limitations arise, they cause inventions to take place or innovation to emerge. Here it is very difficult on a 5.5 by 13 meter plot. Truly, in these dimensions, nothing can be done except give a new idea. The plan is very well resolved. The plan is open, the kitchen is open, everything is open. The facade is adequate -- it has moved beyond the very traditional and ordinary." The project attracted the jury's attention for its boldness in hollowing out and reducing mass, and for proposing a new model for infill development at very limited dimensions.
