Best Implemented Reconstruction Project

About the project (provided by the applicant)
Condition of the building before renovation: an old and semi-abandoned house, initially thought to be from the Pahlavi era, exhibited signs of heterogeneous changes over several phases. Upon further investigation of the building's documents and structure, it was revealed that the house actually dates back to the late Qajar period. For unknown reasons, a decision had been made to make fundamental changes to the building's appearance, both inside and outside, resulting in large portions of the structure being buried under a layer of gypsum plaster for 40 to 50 years.
Key values of the existing building: restoration and renovation while preserving historical atmosphere. This house is one of the last remaining Qajar-era houses in this area (Shahzadeh Safavi Garden). Its restoration, while preserving past characteristics (such as the Russian carriage house), transforms it into a prominent public space with a service-oriented function (café-restaurant) in the region.
