The Design

About Delbar Khaneh Hotel Boutique

L'interior fusiona l'antic amb el modern, els elements s'uneixen a la funcionalitat. L'interior aprofita la maoneria existent i els sostres arquejats per emmarcar un espai que se sent obert però alhora íntim. El mobiliari es selecciona per la comoditat i la practicitat, amb una paleta continguda que crida l'atenció sobre les característiques originals de l'edifici. La il·luminació es col·loca estratègicament per ressaltar les textures i la forma de l'espai sense aclaparar-lo. Aquest enfocament de disseny permet que la història de l'estructura estigui en primer pla, proporcionant un teló de fons serè per a la vida moderna.

Production Technology: The hotels design leverages both time honored techniques and modern methodologies Employing traditional materials like mud bricks and textiles combined with modern production technologies showcases the craftsmanship of Yazd Techniques like hand sewn Suzani textiles custom glasswork for the unique bath and modernized versions of Arabesque windows blend the old with the new symbolizing the cities evolution.
Design Challenge: The challenge was integrating modern amenities into the historic fabric without disrupting its essence. We meticulously restored traditional elements, ensuring they harmonize with modern interventions. Navigating historical preservation laws, we used local craftsmanship and materials, leading to a design that feels both ancient and alive, reflecting Yazd's social and historical context. Extensive research into traditional Yazdi crafts informed the material palette.
Research: Research involved a comprehensive study of Afsharid architecture, artisan techniques, and material heritage and contemporary traditional art. Collaborative efforts with historians and local artisans ensured cultural integrity, while prototype testing in lighting and textiles ensured modern standards were met. The resultant design is a balanced ecosystem of historical reverence and present-day relevance.
Inspiration: Inspired by the romantic lore of the original house, built for a beloved but left unfinished due to her demise, the hotel design strives to capture the essence of love lost and found. The design is a tribute to timeless affection, with spaces curated to evoke feelings of intimacy and serenity, drawing from the poetic beauty of Yazd's traditional arts and crafts that its artisanal wealth, while also catering to modern expectations of comfort and luxury.
