Entry Description

This project, set in the verdant northern regions of Iran, weaves modern design with the traditions of Iranian architecture.
Commissioned by a family from central Iran, our design celebrates the contrast between semi-public and semi-private spaces.
Upon arrival, visitors first encounter the cottage-like structures,
sloped-roof cottages designed to reflect the essence of traditional northern Iranian homes.
The semi-public areas utilize materials that echo adobe and vibrant colored glass, reflecting the aesthetic of central Iranian architecture called "Orsi" (Persian stained glass windows).
