Architecture That Evokes Soul & Story
Main Entrance & Archway
Inspired by Shahyad (Azadi) Tower – Tehran, Iran by Hossein Amanat
The estate’s entrance tower pays tribute to the spirit of freedom and legacy through a contemporary interpretation of the Azadi Tower. This soaring arch welcomes guests through a structure that balances strength and grace; a beacon for the values Azhadi embodies: openness, elegance, and cultural pride.
Front Façade
Inspired by Taq Kasra – Ctesiphon, Mesopotamia
The sweeping front of the building nods to the ancient Taq Kasra, the world’s largest single-span brick vault, reimagined here as a warm invitation to enter. Its monumental form echoes our desire to preserve history and welcome the future in a single gesture.
Lobby & Fire Pathway
Inspired by Zoroastrian Fire Temples
The central lobby channels the spiritual symbolism of fire and light. Designed as a passage that would typically open to a fire feature, it honours ancient gathering rituals, creating a quiet space for reflection and togetherness.
Lakeside Terrace
Fallingwater by Frank Lloyd Wright & Filberg House by Arthur Erickson
The rear elevation, with its cantilevered terraces overlooking the lake, blends seamlessly into the natural contours of the Okanagan. Drawing from iconic examples of site-integrated design, these spaces offer a meditative experience of land, water, and architecture as one.
Tower Windows
Inspired by Windcatchers – Persian Architecture
Atop our entrance tower, traditional badgir (windcatcher) design principles are reinterpreted to introduce natural airflow and dappled light. A poetic fusion of form and function, these windows echo the architectural intelligence of ancient desert cities.
Siding & Surface Detailing
Inspired by Tehran’s Performing Arts Centre
The estate’s cladding and exterior rhythm draws inspiration from the geometric harmony of Tehran’s iconic Performing Arts Centre. The materiality and detailing reflect both modernity and heritage, reinforcing Azhadi’s sense of rooted sophistication.
A Place Where Architecture Holds Emotion
Each architectural reference is not just an aesthetic choice, it is an intentional gesture toward meaning. At Azhadi, the built environment is designed to stir memory, offer peace, and invite deeper connection. It is a place where design meets feeling, and where every stone and shadow speaks of legacy and love.
