Azar Architecture Group was founded in 2012 to offer digital marketing, photography and content creation services to the architecture and construction industry.
We, Samaneh and Farshid were the co-founders, and had a vision to transform the way architecture and the built environment is presented to customers and the general public.
Farshid’s knowledge and skills in photography and Samaneh’s knowledge and skills in content writing and research combined with our education in architecture, and passion for high-end digital marketing, helped us turn our vision into reality.
The mix of our skills resulted in Azar Architecture becoming one of the well-known groups in the country and the clients’ go-to place for high-quality photography and content.
We have also participated in architecture and heritage research projects, having our work exhibited internationally.
