Text description from the architects. This project is located at the beginning of Sattar Khan Street and near Tohid Square. The old building of this project is about 40 years old. After close inspection and detailed analysis of the building conditions, we encountered some important disadvantages. For example, a center line of a metal column started entirely from the main facade of the store and ran through the middle of the store. As a result, all design ideas had a negative impact on the facade and interior design of the restaurant.
On the other hand, according to the basic building rules in force in this area of Tehran forty years ago, after the construction of the ground floor section, it was allowed to have a 1.5 meter high console on the upper floors facing the street and the main façade.
Therefore, when looking at the facade of the commercial part on the ground floor, you will notice a disappointing alcove, a split level and a weak perspective.
Regarding the disadvantages of this old building, we came to the conclusion that the best solution and answer in this design process is to take advantage of the projects’ disadvantages (weaknesses) and turn them into advantages (strengths).
