Kashan a historic town 240km south of Tehran provided a unique setting for this inspiring job.

The renovation project aimed to bring back the glorious aesthetic of the original building while creating a modern, minimal space for contemporary use as a residential single-family house.

In contrast to traditional houses in Kashan, this building provided the opportunity to sport a very spacious living area, this was utilized by eliminating the interfering featuring and then creating a rather seamless area to be used as a living room, incorporating a modern kitchen and open, airy sitting and dining areas.

A master bedroom and guest rooms were also created using other spacious areas of the original factory.
