About
I started our professional job in 1998 by a designing group called “the first design” including architecture, industrial design and sculpture departments. Each department became independent and developed by the passage of time and brand consistency. Now, architecture department is active under “the first design co.” in designing residential, educational, cultural, commercial and official projects. We have made a considerable effort to employ qualified and professional personnel among students of architecture and specialist in other fields related to architecture. To achieve our goals, we established R&D and training department to study and research in art field, provided consultancy and researching plans, seminars, educational workshops

A summary of the activities
- Cooperation with architecture engineering society in Isfahan to hold more than 20 scientific meetings and seminars (2009-2013) - Cooperation with Isfahan city hall and managing a one- day seminar called “Architecture, The undisciplined discipline.” With the presence of Mr. Donald Bates, Melbourne Architecture dean and the head of LabArchitects  Studio (2010) - Cooperation with Isfahan Azad University and managing a sevenday seminar and workshop called “The Dome: Para metric’s, Geometries & Specialize” with the presence of professors and foreign lecturers: Mr. Donald Bates, Melbourne Architecture dean and the head of LabArchitects Studio,Mr. Greg Lynn, UCLA Professor and Mr. Patrik Schomacher, Zaha Hadid’s office manager. Our perspective is to enter into international fields. At the beginning, neighborhood countries are our main purpose due to having close culture, religion and history. In fact, our first international experience in East Asia (china) in Paradise Pars project was extremely successful and paved the way for us to enter into that zone.

Designing department including; architecture structure, electronic and mechanic installations, urban and interior designing, was   established to meet these perspectives.

Designing policy
Our policy in designing architectural projects is to communicate and recognize all aspects and requirements of project. Those needs that are realized by the employer, and are transferred to us by him. Those needs that are related to cultural, historical, geographical context of project and we know them as fixed and similar needs among humans. “Instinctive tendencies and needs“ are the result of analysis, investigation and procreation of all needs that are never similar. Only by similar tendencies, we can unify and coordinate our projects.
