Freeform skylight of Mulla Sadra Building

As one of the most prominent examples of modern architecture, Mulla Sadra’s project has created an attractive office building with a free-form skylight in the Boyd Center. The design and construction team has placed the project in the ongoing category, as the installation of its glazing has been postponed until next month due to structural challenges. However, they completed the structural components more than a year and a half ago.

General project specifications

• Dimensions of the skylight opening: The design team considered an opening measuring 8 meters by 4 meters for this skylight.
• Height of the structure: The architects designed the height of the structure in such a way that its lenticular shape maintains balance and beauty well.

Steps of building and installing the skylight

1. Design and assembling the elements
   Experts produced all the elements of this structure using specific codes. Then, they manufactured the parts individually and connected them with bolts and nuts during installation.
2. Aluminum structure and structural support
   After the steel structure was completed, the construction team installed aluminum layers as a coating and reinforcement on it.
3. Installation of safe and modern glass
   The project team used HS (Heat Strengthened) glass for this structure. This glass consists of secret and semi-secret layers and provides extraordinary strength and safety for the skylight.

Project glass features

• High resistance: The architects chose laminated glass to minimize the risk of breakage.
• More safety: The combination of secret and semi-secret glass ensures the necessary safety for glass roofs.
• Visual beauty: The design team designed the lenticular structure in such a way that it diffuses natural light evenly and beautifully in the space.

Why does this skylight stand out?

The Mulla Sadra project’s skylight not only enhances the interior space, but also offers high safety and technical performance. This intelligent design of technology and art has transformed the interior of this building into a pleasant and inspiring work environment.
