MASK Architects have unveiled the Golden Muqarnas Twin Towers at the Espinas Royal Hotel in Tehran, a visionary mixed-use landmark that blends innovation, elegance, and contemporary luxury. Rising 164 meters above the city, the towers seamlessly integrate hotel, residential, and commercial spaces, coexisting in perfect harmony.
The distinctive façade is a reinterpretation of Iranian Muqarnas geometry, merging culture, heritage, and architectural innovation through intricate parametric designs. The golden modular elements form a rhythmic three-dimensional pattern, transforming into planters and bringing greenery to the vertical expanse.
Designed with sustainability systems, the towers integrate vertical gardens, bioclimatic shading, and advanced fabrication systems, breathing life and efficiency into the architecture. The project covers an area of 8,900 square meters, comprising two main sections: residential and exhibition.
The Espinas Royal Hotel’s Golden Muqarnas Twin Towers stand as a testament to modern Iranian-Islamic architecture, deeply rooted in cultural identity. One tower operates as a traditional hotel tower, while the other consists of serviced apartments. The exhibition spaces include four floors, hosting exhibition showrooms and connecting different levels.
The residential section comprises 954 rooms spread across two 30-story towers, with green terraces topping the roofs of the connecting bridges, offering panoramic views. The hotel provides additional services, including a lobby, reception, lounge, and cafes on the lower level, with restaurants and terraces on higher levels.
