About SKYSS Studio
Bridging Academic Research with Practical Design Innovation
SKYSS Studio was born from a collaboration between two passionate architects who met during their Master’s studies at Allaodole Semnani Institute of Higher Education (ASIHE) in 2015. Sareh Meshkin Fam and Soheil Ebrahimi discovered their shared passion for creating inclusive, culturally responsive spaces that serve diverse communities.
What started as academic collaboration naturally evolved into participating in architectural competitions, and in April 2018, we officially founded SARA SOHEIL ASEMAN (SKYSS Studio), registered in December 2019. Our studio represents the bridge between rigorous academic research and practical design application.

Our Mission
Creating Inclusive Spaces for Diverse Communities
At SKYSS Studio, we believe architecture has the power to bring people together regardless of language, nationality, or belief. Our mission is to design public and semi-public spaces that:
- Celebrate Iran’s rich cultural and linguistic diversity
- Foster dialogue and social interaction
- Provide accessible, welcoming environments for all users
- Integrate traditional vernacular architecture with modern responsive design
- Address the needs of multicultural communities
Our Approach
Research-Driven Design Methodology
Our unique approach combines rigorous academic research with practical design application. We analyze cultural patterns, user behaviors, and spatial relationships to inform our design decisions. This methodology ensures our projects are not only aesthetically compelling but also functionally responsive to community needs.
Key Methodologies:
- Ethnographic research and community engagement
- Spatial analysis and behavioral pattern studies
- Cultural context analysis and vernacular architecture integration
- Sustainable design principles and environmental responsiveness
- User-centered design and post-occupancy evaluation
