Sarvenaz Nazarian: The Qajar-inspired residence celebrates Persian heritage, reinterpreted through the lens of modern design. Each space within the house tells a unique story of tradition and elegance while exuding a luxurious ambience that pays homage to Iran's rich architectural history.
At the heart of the home lies the living room, a grand and luminous space adorned with vibrant stained-glass windows. These windows, reminiscent of traditional Persian craftsmanship, cast a kaleidoscope of colours across the room, creating a mesmerizing interplay of light and shadow. The library is a sanctuary of knowledge and serenity, featuring intricate mirrorwork (ayeneh-kari) and arched niches, embodying the timeless sophistication of Persian design.
The kitchen, both expansive and functional, is a harmonious blend of tradition and modernity. Its white plastered walls, detailed with subtle motifs, provide a backdrop for intricate tilework and stained-glass accents, creating a space that is as practical as it is beautiful. The dining room, with its warm and inviting atmosphere, showcases the craftsmanship of wooden furniture and Persian mosaics, making every meal a cultural experience.
The bathrooms are designed to be personal retreats, adorned in calming blue tones and featuring intricate tilework inspired by historic Persian bathhouses. These spaces are not only functional but also reflective of the tranquillity and luxury inherent in Persian architecture.
This Qajar-inspired home is not just a structure; it’s a tribute to the elegance of Iranian culture. It bridges the past and present, allowing tradition to shine in a contemporary context.
By reimagining history, this project creates a timeless atmosphere that invites us to cherish the beauty of Persian heritage in modern living.
