Rooydaad Architects

Rooydaad Architects is an architecture and interior design practice studio based in Tehran, Iran. It was founded in 2007 by Zahra Armand and Mostafa Omidbakhsh, an architect and urban designer couple. Since then, the studio has focused on creating intelligent process-based design solutions for the public and private sector projects at different scales. The ambition of the studio is to see the role of the designer, expanded to the most strategic function possible. To this end, the firm works in an ongoing workshop spirit with a multidisciplinary team of architects, artists, graphic designers, engineers, urban designers and etc. with different cultural backgrounds. The team operates in a similar way to a laboratory in which research and development are seen as an important element of the design process. Relying on a back-to-basics approach, the studio often study on old models for future buildings, putting together the archetype and prototype with new materials, fabrication and construction assemblies.
