This research aims to present a framework for the design of sustainable residential complexes in the city of Rasht, based on Christopher Alexan‎der’s A Pattern Language theory. The main problem addressed in this study is the insufficient consideration of sustainable design patterns in residential architecture an‎d their lack of alignment with the cultural an‎d climatic conditions of northern Iran. Employing a qualitative research approach an‎d the strategy of comparative content analysis, the study identifies an‎d extracts relevant patterns from Alexan‎der’s theory an‎d compares them with successful international examples of residential complexes. Research data were collected from library resources, design documents, published images, an‎d architectural drawings. The findings indicate that, in successful international examples, patterns such as integration with green spaces, emphasis on active semi-public areas, an‎d adaptation of building form to climatic conditions play a significant role in improving quality of life an‎d reducing energy consumption. Based on these findings, a conceptual model of design patterns adapted to the cultural an‎d climatic context of Rasht is proposed. This model can serve as a practical guideline for designers an‎d decision makers to enhance the quality of residential environments an‎d to achieve both social an‎d environmental sustainability.
