About the project
This project is a hostel in south of Iran in the incredible Hengam Island. This hostel is consisting of 4 rooms for guests, 3 of them in the first floor and one in the ground floor. Also, this hostel has two complete separate residential rooms for the owners in the first floor and in the north area of the site that has one bedroom each. In the ground floor we have a gathering area and a bar and kitchen and also an outdoor cinema for the local children that can educate while there are not many guests in the hot seasons of island.
