About Delbar Khaneh 精品酒店

室內設計融合古今，元素與功能相遇。設計善用現有嘅磚砌結構同拱形天花，營造出既開揚又親密嘅空間感。傢俬嘅選擇着重舒適同實用，配以克制嘅色調，突顯建築物嘅原有特色。燈光經過精心佈置，凸顯空間嘅質感同形態，而唔會過於搶眼。呢種設計手法令建築物嘅歷史感成為焦點，為現代生活提供寧靜嘅背景。

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.
Project Duration: The project started in March 2021 in Yazd/Iran and finished in October 2023 in Yazd/Iran
Operation Flow: In Delbara khane, operation and flow are designed for intuitive discovery, encouraging guests to connect with the space organically. Offers an immersive experience where guests interact with a blend of history and modernity. The design enhances the flow of natural light and preserves the intimacy of spaces, ensuring each room feels like a private sanctuary. The interaction between the hotel's heritage and the contemporary elements is seamless, providing guests with comfort and a sense of connection to Yazd's romantic past.
