In the bustling heart of the city of Tehran in Iran, architectural and design teams at Next Office–Alireza Taghaboni have recently completed a unique and innovative housing project called the Cedrus Residential with the goal of creatively working with the spatial limitations of trying to build new homes in a very crowded city.

在伊朗德黑兰市熙熙攘攘的中心，下一个办公室的建筑和设计团队最近完成了一个名为 Cedrus 住宅的独特和创新的住宅项目，其目标是创造性地在一个非常拥挤的城市建造新的住宅。

In cities like Tehran, architects face many challenges when it comes to infrastructure and urban design. The idea of making new buildings in a space that is already so over-crowded is one that, in many places, has started to require building and design teams to think outside the box and fit more homes and apartments into smaller spaces without getting unrealistic when it comes to actual living spaces sizes for individuals and families.

在像德黑兰这样的城市，在基础设施和城市设计方面，建筑师面临着许多挑战。在一个已经如此拥挤的空间中制造新建筑的想法是，在许多地方，已经开始要求建筑和设计团队在户外思考，并将更多的房屋和公寓安装到更小的空间中，而不会在实际生活空间的大小适合个人和家庭时变得不现实。

That’s why the teams on this building decided to build up instead of out. Instead of just creating a flat, unappealing looking facade on their tall building, however, they also opted to use the outside of their building as another spatial opportunity, giving each apartment a little more living space by creating a series of unique balconies all the way the facade, giving the building some decor value and providing residents with a bit of additional space and fresh air.

这就是为什么在这座大楼上的团队决定建立而不是退出。 然而，他们并没有仅仅在高楼大厦上建造一个平面的、不吸引人的立面，而是选择将大楼的外部作为另一个空间机会，通过在立面上创造一系列独特的阳台，给每个公寓多一点生活空间，给建筑一些装饰价值，并为居民提供一些额外的空间和新鲜空气。

In Tehran’s specific social and political climate, designers were also faced with the challenge of accounting for the common fact that people’s public and private lives are markedly different and kept purposely distinct from one another. It was therefore paramount that privacy be well prioritized. This accounts for the fact that the buildings ensure a view from other places outside the individual apartments is nearly impossible to get thanks to strategically placed windows and the partial barriers the unique balconies we mentioned earlier actually form around each unit that has one, and therefore needs bigger windows.

在德黑兰特定的社会和政治环境中，设计师们还面临着这样一个挑战，即人们的公共生活和私人生活明显不同，而且彼此之间有着刻意的区别，这是一个共同的事实。因此，最重要的是将隐私列为优先事项。这解释了这样一个事实，即建筑物确保从个别公寓以外的其他地方看到景色几乎是不可能的，这要归功于策略性放置的窗户，以及我们前面提到的独特阳台实际上是围绕着每一个有一个单元的单元而形成的，因此需要更大的窗户。

Inside the building, the social and welcoming spaces like the lobby are very modern looking indeed, but in a way that is formal rather than intimidating or unfriendly. Surfaces are clean and neat, edges and lines are very streamlined, and materials and shapes are contemporary. This theme in materiality and atmosphere follows one into the individual apartments as well, but in a way that is slightly more cozy and homey than on the ground floor where one might encounter the public.

在大楼内，像大厅这样的社交和欢迎空间看起来确实很现代，但以一种正式的方式，而不是恐吓或不友好的方式。表面是干净整洁的，边缘和线条非常流线型，材料和形状是当代的。这个主题在物质和气氛上跟随一个人进入个别的公寓，但在某种程度上比一个人可能遇到公众的底层更加舒适和温馨。

Perhaps the most endearing element of the balconies for both the residents in their private lives and for the decorative sake of those viewing the buildings from the street is the way greenery has been included on each one! Designers Kept the spaces looking welcoming and made them contrast beautifully with the otherwise quite urban scenery surrounding the building by including a small garden with a small, beautiful tree to shade the space at least a little.

也许，对于居住在私人生活中的居民来说，阳台中最可爱的元素，以及那些从街上观看建筑物的人来说，最可爱的元素就是在每一个阳台上都包含了绿色植物！设计师们让这些空间看起来很受欢迎，并通过包括一个小花园和一棵美丽的小树来遮阳空间，使它们与周围的城市风光形成了美丽的对比。
