The inspiration for this project stemmed from a deep respect for historical architecture and a desire to revive a semi-abandoned Qajar-era villa. The unique opportunity to uncover and restore hidden architectural details, combined with the building’s rich narrative and prime location, motivated the design. Extensive research into historical preservation techniques and adaptive reuse strategies ensured a balance between honoring the past and meeting contemporary needs.
This design revitalizes a Qajar-era villa into a cafe-restaurant, blending historical authenticity with modern functionality. Unique features include restored architectural details, preserved century-old trees, innovative space reuse, and accessibility enhancements like an elevator and Braille menus. A tribute to craftsmanship further merges history with contemporary design.
The project commenced in 2021 and was completed in 2023, located in the qazvin. The renovation aimed to transform a historically significant Qajar-era villa into a modern café-restaurant while preserving its original architectural essence.
