Design Details

Unique Properties
This multifunctional hall designed for music, theater and opera, the three most importance feature we can mention are , eye-catching forms of tortoise shells near the beach with special night lighting, We create a special modern form with suspended curved ceiling, which is laying over the glass curtain wall that gave us the benefit of the perfect ocean view, the most stunning aspect of this design is the smooth wavy surface which is completely associate with ocean wave.
Inspiration
first of all turtles are the main species in Kish and they are preserve by the authority. This hall is an great symbol of these animals which is located near to their habitat however permissible limitation is intended, the design is inspired by the tortoise form and it has been tried to be a modern type of it.
Research
When this project was referred to us, first of all, the environmental survey and research about the land on where this project is to be started began, and we came to interesting results in terms of environment and climate. The land was located near the coastal area. It was a spawning ground for rare turtles that were under environmental protection and also one of the most attractive and oldest inhabitants of the island, so we decided that the design would ultimately be inspired by these amazing creatures and be in harmony with the environment but a modern and architectural interpretation of turtles.
Challenge
The most difficult challenge we faced in this project was limitation as a result of turtles habitat which is located neighboring to our site and the untouched and special environment which should be stay as undamaged as we can.
Realization and Technology
The most important challenge for the construction of this hall is the suspended celling which is done with space structures and the smooth wavy surface is made of GFRC . In consider of the importance of energy conservation we provide triple glazed curtain wall which is the best choice for this climate and three layers celling to reduce waste of energy.
