Pictures of the challenges before the renovation

Our renovation project is located in the Etminan Office Building on the southwest corner of Valiasr and Taleghani Streets.
This 12-story office-commercial building was started before the 1979 Iranian Revolution and, after many delays, was finally put into operation in 1985. At that time, some of the units were used for residential purposes and then for office purposes... So we were faced with a dilapidated unit in a high-traffic area of ​​Tehran that had been renovated and even changed its use several times.

To modernize and optimize the space of this office unit, our team faced structural and utility challenges and limitations.
The spaces that were assigned to our team for renovation are as follows (before renovation):

Entrance, toilet and service​​​​​​​

​​Pantry Room

Management

Demolition of almost all interior walls
Due to the new architectural design of the office unit and the transformation of its interior architecture, it was necessary to demolish all the old walls so that each space would have access to natural light and ventilation. The walls through which the electrical and plumbing facilities of other units on the floors passed were left as unchanged as possible.

Troubleshooting project utilities
​​​​​​​

Due to the age of the building, all plumbing installations, including electrical, mechanical, and wastewater, were repaired or replaced.

Removing the floor of the unit until you reach the concrete slab of the structure ​​​​​​​
To reach the utility pipes and replace and change them with the new plan, we had to completely remove the floor of the unit, which involved removing a volume equivalent to 14,000 liters of heavy construction materials, equivalent to thirty thousand kilograms of the building's dead load. After installing the new utilities, we covered them with lightweight (hollow) materials of a lower height, and as a result, we added 10 centimeters to the height of the space.​​​​​​​ 

Preparing the surface substrate for tiling 
​​​​​​​
​​​After installing the utility pipes, considering the choice of Spinnaker porcelain tiles for the project and the use of tile adhesive instead of mortar, the surfaces were first waterproofed, then re-cemented and leveled so that the tiles could be properly placed next to each other with minimal use of adhesive

First-class tiles with quality of installation 

In an office unit, the most stressed and worn material is the floor. Today, in many office spaces, imported wood laminates or HDF are common, which are both less resistant than porcelain tiles and more expensive... In this office plan, our team chose a 20 x 120 cm spainker tile wooden parquet design, which gives this space a perfect and sustainable appearance.

Implementation of a Knauf ceiling with linear lights and a new heating and cooling system ​​​​​​​​​

Given that the ground fan coil heating/cooling system had been changed to a ceiling duct split system, the exact location and map of the indoor unit' hvac, the duct routes, and linear lights had to be determined so that the relevant installations could be installed and correctly in coordination with the ceiling structure.

Design and implementation of all furniture with accurate 3D drawings.

After finishing the ceiling and painting, it was time for the MDF work. In this project, we first designed all the employee desks, conference room, and management room with their metal bases in 3D models, and then ordered and built them. In addition to saving costs, the designed furniture fit properly and with maximum use in the space.

Implementation of partitions and wall coverings and provision of some accessories for the office 
Ordering galvanized flower pots with oven paint to visually separate different parts and implementing glass partitions, implementing Korean-style polystyrene wall coverings on some walls and surfaces , especially to hide the toilet door in the entrance area, selecting and ordering some comfortable chairs and equipment needed for the pantry and toilet, and implementing the organizational slogan and company identity card in reception wall were also among our design and implementation services for this office.
 

List of services performed​​​​​​​

In the process of designing the office space of Mobna Tejarat Company, in order to better display the designs to the client, we prepared a virtual reality file in Meta Camera, and after displaying it and approving it, and then making some changes in the interior design, we reached the implementation stage. Considering the project and design conditions, except for the building structure, all the facilities and space plan were changed and improved according to the needs of the company and employees, as follows:​​​​​​​
