Nafas Traditional Restaurant & Coffee Shop isn’t just a building — it’s a breath of desert heritage brought to life in brick, tile, and air. Inspired by the heart of Yazd’s architecture, where climate-conscious design meets centuries of artistic wisdom, this space is a celebration of Iranian tradition reimagined for today.

As Richard Florida noted, “A city’s vitality thrives on diversity and possibility.” This ethos pulses through Huaihai Road, where Shanghai’s past and present converge. The Gascogne Apartments—a Republican-era landmark designed by Leonard, Veysseyre & Kruze—now epitomize this urban alchemy. Once a silent witness to history.
