In the practice of architecture, it is often necessary to push disciplinary boundaries to solve more complex problems. In this vein, Parametric design gets nurtured from creative abilities such as critical thinking, problem solving and even the designers’ intuition in order to integrate a higher number or variables approaches to solve problems through parallel or recursive schemes.  Accordingly, the Floating Circle is the story of design and fabrication of a parametric ceiling for interior design of Mofid brokerage.

Design Process

PROBLEM
The place where was considered to be one of the new branches of Mofid brokerage had a height of 6 meters which was not appropriate and needed a ceiling to attract people’s attention.
SOLUTION
As the first step of design, a surface with a curvature based on different zoning in the place was generated. The private area with the smallest height, the entrance and the public area with the larger height were designed. Moreover, the whole surface was suspended at the appropriate height from the ceiling.
