Design Details
- Unique Properties
- The architecture of the Tamrin Space encompasses everything that embodies value and authenticity, acknowledging that nothing lasts forever and nothing is ever complete. The design seeks to create an environment where the details are precise and hidden, appreciating the subtle beauty that exists in the simplicity and authenticity of the elements.The final plan was developed by considering access, views, and vistas, as well as spaces for pauses and divisions, accessibility for disabled individua
- Inspiration
- The project's client had a clear and defined vision of the desired space even before selecting the project building. They described this space as follows: Tamrin Space is the dream of having an independent house for a group of music and theater artists. It’s about enjoying working together and engaging in artistic activities in a space meticulously designed and prepared for such experiences.
- Research
- One of the most significant changes made to the building was the introduction of natural light into the center of the structure through a skylight on the roof and the creation of a full-height void from the roof to the ground floor. This void, featuring a glass floor on the second level and open with a glass railing on the first level, directs light to the garden situated beneath the void. As a result, all areas of this project benefit from natural light. In the design of new volumes and elements, such as the central garden on the ground floor, the layout of the café tiles, and the restrooms, inspiration was drawn from the existing shapes and elements of the building.
- Challenge
- A significant amount of time was spent on reinforcing the building's structure. On the foundation, bending bars combined with concrete beams created a unified foundation system, which was connected to the existing structure using dowel bars. Additionally, considering the moisture in the foundation and to prevent rising damp in the building's walls, a drainage channel (drainage trench) was installed in front of the foundation. All walls, floors, and ceilings were reinforced and strengthened. Two shear walls were added to the structural system in the east-west direction, and three shear walls were added in the north-south direction.
- Realization and Technology
- One of the most significant changes made to the building was the introduction of natural light into the center of the structure through a skylight on the roof and the creation of a full-height void from the roof to the ground floor. This void, featuring a glass floor on the second level and open with a glass railing on the first level, directs light to the garden situated beneath the void. As a result, all areas of this project benefit from natural light. In the design of new volumes and elements, such as the central garden on the ground floor, the layout of the café tiles, and the restrooms, inspiration was drawn from the existing shapes and elements of the building.
- Operation and Interaction
- The outcome of this project is a dynamic and multifunctional space that aligns perfectly with the activities taking place within it. On the other hand, a valuable house in one of Tehran's cultural neighborhoods has been properly restored and renovated, enabling it to continue its life for many more years. The building’s proximity to significant cultural and artistic centers, such as the City Theater and Roudaki Hall, is in complete harmony with its function, and it can serve as an inspiring example for other buildings in the area that are threatened with demolition.
- Project Duration and Location
- The design of project started in December 2020 in Tehran and construction is finished in November 2022 in Tehran.
