Monolithic Cube — Exterior View

T.05

Qom, Iran · 2024 · Unbuilt

Project T.05 explores subterranean minimalist architecture through raw, monolithic concrete volumes. The design is anchored by a central circular courtyard and oculus that draws natural daylight deep into the underground space. Enclosed by floor-to-ceiling glass, this central light well features a sunken hearth and natural stone textures, creating a striking contrast between the heavy industrial concrete envelope and the primal elements of light, stone, and fire.
