Client: Mrs Hakamiha

Our design approach for the 108 square meter apartment in the Shahid Keshvari area of Isfahan was centered around addressing the poor craftsmanship of the building and creating a beautiful and spacious environment for our clients, a couple of lawyers.

To achieve a sense of unity and continuity, we decided to use ceramic tiles throughout the apartment, including the kitchen area. This choice helped to connect the kitchen with the rest of the living spaces, creating a cohesive visual flow.

Using wood and tile in a bathroom design offers numerous benefits. Wood brings a warm and natural feel to the space, creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere. It adds a touch of elegance and sophistication while providing a unique visual appeal. Additionally, wood is durable and long-lasting, able to withstand the moisture and humidity commonly found in bathrooms. Tile, on the other hand, is highly water-resistant and easy to clean, making it a practical choice for bathroom flooring and walls. It comes in a wide range of colors, patterns, and textures, allowing for endless design possibilities. Tile is also known for its durability and low maintenance requirements, making it a cost-effective and practical choice. By combining wood and tile in a bathroom design, one can achieve a harmonious blend of aesthetics, functionality,

Using opsite colors in the interior design of a washroom offers several remarkable benefits. Firstly, opsite colors, such as white or light shades, create a sense of cleanliness and hygiene. These colors help to visually brighten up the space, making it appear larger and more open. Additionally, opsite colors reflect light, enhancing the overall illumination of the washroom and ensuring a well-lit environment. This is particularly advantageous when it comes to tasks like grooming and applying makeup, as the ample lighting provided by opsite colors allows for better visibility. Moreover, opsite colors have a calming effect on the mind, promoting relaxation and tranquility, which is highly desirable in a space like a washroom. The neutral and serene ambiance created by opsite colors also provides a versatile backdrop, allowing for easy integration of various design elements, such as colorful accessories or artwork.

Incorporating vertical lines into interior design offers a multitude of benefits. Not only do these lines create an illusion of height, making a space appear taller and more spacious, but they also infuse energy and visual interest into the environment. By drawing the eye upward, vertical lines add a sense of movement and dynamism to an otherwise static room. Furthermore, these lines can be strategically employed to emphasize architectural features like columns or tall windows, enhancing their prominence and aesthetic appeal. Vertical lines also contribute to a balanced composition, complementing other design elements and creating harmony. Additionally, they have a psychological impact, evoking feelings of strength and stability. Whether used to divide areas within a room, create optical illusions, or bring variation to the design, vertical lines play a vital role in achieving a well-designed and visually engaging interior space.

GRAY OFFICE 02

Title: The Gray Office

Subject: Office Interior Design

Type: Professional Status : 2020-2021

Client: Mrs Khosravi

The office was located on the third floor of a commercial-medical building, and the employer approached us, expressing the desire to renovate this 58-square-meter office. Initially, we thought about how to make the space appear slightly larger, so we decided to incorporate glass doors throughout the area. The employer also wanted the office to have a small kitchenette, so we included a linear kitchenette in our design, which not only saved space but also proved to be practical.

In the next step, we utilized linear lighting fixtures on the ceiling to create pleasant pathways of light, enhancing the ambiance of the office during nighttime. We eliminated the kitchenette area and replaced it with a new workspace, extending the wall up to the window to maximize the room’s size.

The room with a window was designated as the conference room to benefit from the southern light, resulting in a dynamic and vibrant space.

THE BRICK HOUSE 03

Title: The Brick House

Subject: Residential

Type: Professional Status : 2018-2020

Client: Dr.Behroozian

The project was commissioned by the personal employer of Ms. and Mr. Behrouzian. In fact, Dr. Behrouzian is our family physician and they decided to spend their retirement in the city where they used to spend their medical internship and getting to know each other. Before they came to us, another engineer had designed the skeleton for them, but the subject that had engulfed their minds was that the building didn’t have a proper view of the exterior and part of the beautiful historic nature of the city of Natanz . In fact, the interior design of the building was such that it captured the proper views and used few openings. The challenge this project had for me was initially to resolve the client’s mental conflict and the appropriate spatial connection in the project’s interior design.

Roof or rooftop in traditional Iranian architecture is part of the living space and in addition to the complex and beautiful volumes, it has been used as a yard. In cities such as Naeen, Natanz in some buildings with porcelain crowned walls, raised the roof to about a meter and a half, creating a kind of roof yard that was used for sleeping in the summer nights. They also have a secondary climatic effect by shading part of the roof at different times of the day. In this design the roof was divided into three different spaces:

1. Allocating a canopy space for embedding and locating the water source and the adjacent space.

2. Allocate space to watch the beautiful starry sky of Natanz at night called Spring Sleep (terrace).

3. Space allocation on the southwest front of the building as an open family living space.

SITE LOCATION + MAIN IDEA

Natanz, the capital of Natanz county, is one of the historic and central garden cities of Iran, located in Isfahan province and in the middle of Kashan to Isfahan, in the vicinity of Karkas Mountain and northwest of Ardestan. Access to the city of Natanz is accessible via the old Kashan-Natanz and Isfahan-Natanz roads as well as the Tehran-Natanz-Isfahan freeway and the Tehran Transit Road.

In the first step, I went to the semi-finished building and photographed the status quo, and then decided to go with the native design. Three trees are laid out in front of the house to indicate the main family members.

After all, we continue with Natanz’s pleasant climate that indicates greenery and vitality, and we see trees that spread like a rug on a carpet on the ground, making life green and vibrant. The trees, some of which have an ancient history, are honored with the same plaque as the homes of people in the city of Natanz and respected by the people of the city of Natanz.

APPROACH | INTERIOR DESIGN

Studies were conducted on the city of Natanz and the site neighborhood. The status quo and as built maps were taken. After all the building angles on each floor were photographed outdoors (in human form( Layout of spaces according to visibility and accessibility. At this point after meeting with the client, the project needs were identified and then I started sketching and initializing all the above. Because it was my first professional project, I was working with two of my best university professors during design.

The astana in the architecture of each entry is achievable based on some expectations. A person comes from another place, passes a long way, and in this way prepares himself to confront a new place. Arriving in the sense of “passage” occurs when a person crosses the lane of a place. This relationship inside and outside is a fact that is essential to identifying any place.

Porch is one of the most important living spaces in Iranian homes, especially in the long and hot seasons. It is one of the semi-open spaces, which in turn is justified by climate issues and sometimes even hierarchies.

“Two elements of porch and Astana which are important elements of Iranian architecture are designed at the entrance of the house.”

After Construction

‘Sense of Place’ are some concepts that could describe the quality of people’s relationships with a place. At all stages of interior design, the sense of place has been taken into consideration.

We began designing the lighting for the outdoor area and incorporated lighting fixtures at the landscaping level. These lights were strategically placed to illuminate the surrounding environment, enhancing its aesthetics and ensuring visibility during the evenings.

In addition to the lighting, we utilized the rooftop space by incorporating green areas. Considering the pleasant summer weather, we created spaces with plants and greenery, allowing people to enjoy and utilize the rooftop for relaxation or outdoor activities. These green spaces not only add visual appeal but also contribute to a more eco-friendly and refreshing atmosphere.

Professional Status: 2016 Location: Yasouj, Iran

This project is situated in Yasouj city, characterized by a chilly mountainous climate. During the winter season, the area experiences intense rainfall, heavy snowfall, and strong winds. The primary obstacle we encountered was the preexisting implementation of the roof and column structure, which required us to undertake the design of the facade and interior. In the initial phase, we faced the challenge of working with the architectural plans of a partially completed building, imposing limitations on our design possibilities. Nevertheless, we embraced this constraint as an opportunity, leveraging it to conceive a unique facade design concept.

Naqsh-e Jahan Square (also known as Saeed Square and Shah Square) is a complex of historic buildings and open space that resides at the center of Isfahan. The open green space in the center of the square is uncommon for Iranian architecture and is just one feature that makes Naqsh-e Jahan so special.
