This project were located in a historical place and I tried to bring back the Safavi’s architecture style with little change. This ancient building was abandoned for years and for this reason, insects and moisture were destroying the building. The old face of the building were retured and a beautiful wood door replaced the metal one to bring light into the room as well as Safavi style design.

Facade Restoration Process

The presence of a garden near the rooms and the lack of a nook caused the walls to collapse. Therefore, all the walls were scraped and the building was reinforced again with bricks.

Additionally, we removed any soil and shingle from the roof to reduce the weightload, and applied a new waterproof membrane to avoid water licking on the facade. Also, all guttering and drainage elements including the downpipe replaced.

Due to insect damage and dampness wooden window's frame were changed and and doors were repaired. Additionally, the termite-infested wooden timber s were replaced by a brand-new Russian one which are anti-insects. Stone skirting were installed at the lower part of the walls to prevent rain and moisture.

Facade Restoration Process

The building's facade had been destroyed by rain and sun for years, so that we shaved it to get to the underneath brick layer. Then the facade of the building were retrofitted by wire mesh and suitable mortar in diffrer layers.

Wiring got changed and improved. A beautiful facade lighting were designed to show design elemnts better at the night.

A large beautiful wooden door were designed inspired by Safavid style to bring light inside the room as much as possible, as this room locatedon the west side.

The access to tiolet got changed from the yard to room, to make a convient suite room for users. Red bricks as a finishing floor bring a sense of warm and cozy to the rooms.
