Sarv House is the adaptive reuse of a 1970s courtyard house in Yazd, reinterpreting the city's traditional nine-square typology for contemporary living. Rather than replacing the existing structure with a new apartment building, the project reveals the spatial and climatic qualities embedded in the house. The intervention follows three strategies: preserving and restoring the original structure and brickwork, removing later additions to improve spatial continuity and strengthen the relationship between the house and its courtyard, and adding lightweight rooftop spaces that reactivate a forgotten part of domestic life. A double-skin façade with movable wicker louvers provides solar protection while creating a dynamic interplay of light and shadow suited to Yazd's hot, arid climate.

Sarv House shows how an ordinary home can be renovated while preserving its architectural identity and climatic logic.
