Big Cats' Quarantine

Client: Department of Environment

Architect: Maziar Qaseminejad (Adab)

CCA: Mohammad Qaseminjejad

Traversing the dense Hyrcanian forests of Mazandaran, regional road networks present a critical hazard to local wildlife—most notably the endangered Persian Leopard. Nocturnal collisions frequently cause severe injuries requiring immediate triage, specialized multi-week rehabilitation, and a safe transition back into the wild. Designed and supervised from concept to completion by Piramoon Planning & Design Inc., the Semeskandeh Center was created to bridge this urgent ecological gap.

The design functions primarily as a wildlife triage and recovery station, while seamlessly reconfiguring into a secure quarantine protocol when isolation is required. Spatial layout, structural barriers, and access control strictly limit human contact to prevent habituation, ensuring both animal welfare and operational safety.
