Ashrafi & Zad Design is an Architecture and Urban Design Studio based in Tehran and Barcelona.
Our team is committed to finding solutions that are at once deeply rooted in locality while acknowledging our universal identity in a globalized world.
Ashrafi & Zad Design strives for an architecture that enriches daily life, improves our environments, and benefits the communities we serve.
Our work on the understanding that the influence of any architecture or urban space surpasses the immediate physical impact of the built environment. We think architecture impacts communities by helping them feel supported or represented, by shaping constructive narratives and by presenting possibilities for a better future.
