Description
Situated on Eram Street in Shiraz, this project blends a caf with a multi-functional event space for gatherings, seminars, and coffee training. Working within budget constraints, we embraced a modern reinterpretation of Iranian architectural elements to create a space that feels both functional and unique. The faade features Fakhr-o-Madina brickwork in a reversed L-shape, generating a dynamic light-and-shadow play while connecting the caf and back-of-house areas. This transparency fosters unity among staff and offers visitors an immersive experience. Hidden steel reinforcements ensure stability of the brickwork without visible supports, preserving a clean look. Extending the concrete floor to the faade creates a platform for events, while brick patterns inspired by Iranian carpets add cultural texture. Impact: This project extends beyond a caf, becoming a dynamic venue where social, educational, and cultural experiences converge, harmonizing heritage with innovation.
