About the project (provided by the applicant)
This project reimagines home as a dialogue between past and present—drawing from Gilaki architecture to create soft boundaries, layered spaces, and natural flow. Materials, light, and sound connect the house to its surroundings, while spatial transitions link public and private life. Rooted in memory yet shaped by today’s needs, the design offers not just shelter, but a calm, connected space where the contemporary human can feel, reflect, and belong.
