Ordibehesht Complex

Ordibehesht Residential Complex in Isfahan, designed by Ramin Madani, won the Large Complexes category at the 6th Memar Award (2006). The jury recognized this project for its sensitive approach to creating community within a large-scale residential development. Bahram Shokouhian praised the project's courtyard-centered organization, which creates meaningful collective spaces while maintaining individual privacy. The complex draws upon Isfahan's traditional courtyard housing typology, reinterpreting it for contemporary multi-family living. The use of local materials and the integration of landscaping within the complex demonstrate environmental sensitivity. The jury noted that the project successfully avoids the monotony common to large residential developments.
