Story:

Text provided by the architects:

The project was defined for us as a house for childhood nostalgia by a pleasant old man (client). The project site is in a small village around Tabriz, his birthplace. We intended to make the project language very pure and simple. In the center of the interior is a museum of old man images and childhood objects, with thick red walls organizing the space. The project was in four levels, the two final levels were intended for solitude and watching the pristine scenery around. The uncertainty of the presence of the ceiling is a space for the fantasies of an old man who wanted to return to childhood.
