Text description provided by architect.

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 ago.

After accurate examining and detailed analysis of the building conditions, we faced some important drawbacks; for example, one center line of metal column started from the main facade of the store completely and passed through the middle of the store, and as a result, all the ideas about the design affected the facade negatively and the interior plan of the restaurant.

On the other hand, according to the ground rules of construction constituted in that area of Tehran for forty years ago, after constructing the ground floor section, you could have a 1.5-meter console on the upper floors toward the street and the main facade.

Therefore, when you look at the facade of the commercial section on the ground floor, you will see a disappointing niche (alcove), a split level, and a weak perspective.

With regard to the drawbacks in this old building, we came to the conclusion that the best solution and answer in this design process is to use the drawbacks (weak points) of the projects and turn them into advantages (strong points)
