The Design

About Delbar Khaneh Boetiekhotel

Het interieur versmelt oud en nieuw, waarbij elementen en functionaliteit samenkomen. Het interieur maakt gebruik van het bestaande metselwerk en gewelfde plafonds om een ruimte te creëren die open en toch intiem aanvoelt. Het meubilair is geselecteerd op comfort en functionaliteit, met een ingetogen kleurenpalet dat de aandacht vestigt op de oorspronkelijke kenmerken van het gebouw. De verlichting is strategisch geplaatst om de texturen en vorm van de ruimte te benadrukken zonder deze te overheersen. Deze ontwerpbenadering laat de geschiedenis van het gebouw op de voorgrond treden en biedt een serene achtergrond voor modern leven.

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.
