Founded in 2009 and based in Tehran, Contextlogic Architects is an award‑winning architecture and landscape architecture studio recognized for its modern, analytic, and context‑responsive work across multiple scales and typologies.
The practice is built on a central belief:
spatial quality emerges in the space in‑between — between architecture and landscape, built form and ground, design intent and economic constraints, concept and execution.
Design Strategy
Our work focuses on projects where architecture alone is not sufficient.
We engage contexts in which site conditions, landscape systems, programmatic complexity, regulatory frameworks, or economic realities actively shape spatial decisions.
In these situations, design becomes a strategic act —
the deliberate selection of one spatial logic among many possible alternatives, and the translation of that logic into a clear, buildable spatial system.
Strategic Spatial Solutions
Operating in the space in‑between allows us to address projects as spatial problems, not stylistic exercises.
Our role is to define and structure relationships: between inside and outside, ground and building, program and movement, investment and experience.
This approach proves especially critical when projects:
- operate across architecture and landscape,
- require alignment between spatial quality and economic performance, or
- have reached a design deadlock and demand a decisive, executable spatial direction.
What We Deliver
Contextlogic Architects delivers Strategic Spatial Solutions — design interventions that clarify complexity, unlock latent potential, and establish a coherent spatial framework for further development.
Our work spans architecture, landscape architecture, and hybrid conditions where the boundaries between them dissolve — precisely where spatial quality is most at stake.
Environmental Sustainability Statement
At Contextlogic Architects, we recognize sustainability as a spatial, environmental, and cultural responsibility. As an award‑winning architecture and landscape architecture studio, we integrate environmental thinking into the core of our design process—where architecture, landscape, climate, and resource systems intersect.
Our approach to environmental sustainability operates in the space in‑between: between built form and ground, energy and comfort, ecological systems and human use. Rather than treating sustainability as an add‑on, we embed it as a design logic that informs spatial organization, material selection, and long‑term performance.
Our environmental sustainability framework includes:
Energy‑Responsive Design
We conduct energy analyses to inform spatial configuration, orientation, envelope performance, and passive strategies—aiming to reduce energy demand, lower carbon emissions, and enhance long‑term operational efficiency.
Site‑Specific Environmental Assessment
Each project responds to its unique environmental context. We evaluate climate, topography, vegetation, biodiversity, and ecological flows to ensure that our designs contribute positively to local ecosystems rather than disrupt them.
Material Logic and Resource Awareness
We prioritize durable, sustainable, and locally sourced materials with lower environmental impact and longer life cycles. This strategy supports regional economies, reduces transportation emissions, and reinforces a circular approach to construction.
Landscape as Environmental Infrastructure
Landscape is treated as an active environmental system—supporting microclimate regulation, water management, biodiversity, and human comfort—rather than a decorative layer.
Continuous Research and Adaptation
We actively engage with emerging research, technologies, and environmental methodologies, integrating innovative tools and systems as they become relevant to our projects.
Knowledge Sharing and Collaboration
Sustainability is a collective effort. We collaborate closely with clients, consultants, and our team to foster shared understanding and informed decision‑making throughout the design process.
Through this integrated approach, Contextlogic Architects is committed to reducing the environmental footprint of the built environment while creating resilient, high‑quality spatial systems that endure over time.
Social Impact Statement
At Contextlogic Architects, we understand architecture and landscape architecture as social acts. Every spatial decision influences how people live, interact, and experience their environment. Our commitment to social impact is rooted in designing spaces that support well‑being, inclusivity, and meaningful urban life.
Working in the space in‑between allows us to address social questions not as abstract values, but as spatial relationships—between individuals and communities, public and private realms, movement and pause, economy and everyday life.
Our approach to social impact includes:
Urban Life and Mental Well‑Being
We design environments that support psychological comfort and everyday social life through access to nature, daylight, open space, and spatial sequences that encourage interaction, orientation, and calm.
Inclusive and Accessible Design
Inclusivity is fundamental to spatial quality. We strive to create environments that are accessible, legible, and welcoming for people of all ages and abilities, including the elderly and persons with disabilities.
Community‑Oriented Spatial Frameworks
Our projects aim to foster social connection and a sense of belonging by creating shared spaces that support informal encounters, collective activities, and cultural exchange.
Cultural and Contextual Sensitivity
We respect local identities, traditions, and social patterns, ensuring that each project responds thoughtfully to its cultural and urban context rather than imposing generic solutions.
Long‑Term Social Sustainability
We consider the long‑term social consequences of design decisions, seeking to support equitable growth, resilient communities, and spaces that remain relevant and adaptable over time.
Engagement and Dialogue
We engage clients, stakeholders, and communities as active participants in the design process, integrating diverse perspectives to shape more responsive and socially grounded outcomes.
Education and Advocacy
Through practice, research, and discourse, we advocate for socially responsible design and contribute to broader conversations on the role of architecture in shaping healthier and more inclusive environments.
By embedding these principles into our work, Contextlogic Architects aims to create spatial solutions that not only perform environmentally, but also enrich social life and contribute positively to the communities they serve.
