Interior Design

100 sq | A Home for Togetherness

Makran was a couple’s first shared home, and the beginning of their life together became the starting point for its design. The brief called for a warm, welcoming, and lively interior—a home with room for everyday routines, gathering with friends, and quiet moments together. The concept emerged from these experiences: creating a setting for togetherness that also reflects the personalities of its residents.

The 102-square-meter apartment is located at Square 100 in Tehran’s Narmak neighborhood. Our team undertook the architectural design, interior design, and construction, completing the project during the Iranian calendar years 1396–1397.

The connection between the kitchen and living area forms the core of the design. The island and its adjoining seating counter bring food preparation, sitting, and conversation together, making the kitchen an active part of shared domestic life. Changes in materials and furniture arrangements define different activities, while visual continuity allows people to remain connected throughout the day.

The home’s warmth comes from its combination of textures and colors. Wood-grain cabinetry and parquet flooring establish a warm foundation, balanced by gray walls and upholstery. The yellow armchair and cushions, alongside red accents in the living area, introduce energy. Color is used selectively, creating lively focal points while preserving the calm of the overall palette.

The principal materials include stone, ceramic tiles, parquet, mirrorwork, and decorative panels. Light surfaces sit alongside wood textures and gray finishes to create a measured variety, while mirrors reflect parts of the interior and add visual depth. Wooden coffee tables with irregular edges introduce a natural, tactile quality among the orderly lines of the cabinetry and fixed elements.

Lighting combines track fixtures, simple pendants, and a curved floor lamp. Each illuminates a particular activity or setting, from kitchen worktops and counter seating to artwork and the lounge. The contemporary forms of the fixtures, together with the ceiling details, give the interior a distinct identity that complements its warm materials.

Alongside the fixed elements, space remains for personal objects, books, and keepsakes. The hanging mug collection, artwork, and colorful details connect the home to its inhabitants. Their presence is central to the interior’s intimacy—a quality that begins with furniture and material choices and continues to develop through daily life.

Having our team responsible for both design and construction allowed proportions, material junctions, and detailing to be followed through to completion. The result is a home that brings contemporary design together with the warmth of everyday life: a place for cooking, conversation, reading, and making the first memories of a shared future.

Makran | Balancing Comfort and Formality

Located on Heravi Street in Tehran’s Pasdaran st, Makran is an 88-square-meter home office designed to bring professional life and domestic comfort together. Our team undertook the architectural and interior design as well as construction, delivering the completed project during the Iranian calendar years 1403–1404.

The project began with a dual ambition: to create a working environment with the comfort of home that could also host important business meetings. The design challenge was to reconcile professional requirements with everyday needs—from conversation and hospitality to rest and privacy—within a cohesive interior.

The approach centered on restrained ornamentation, shaping the space through proportion, light, and functional details. Simple, continuous surfaces, comfortable furniture, and a limited palette create a calm environment whose professional character comes from order and precision. Within this framework, the lounge offers comfort for everyday use while providing an appropriate setting for receiving business guests.

Limited natural light made a light-colored palette a central design decision. Its continuity across floors, walls, ceilings, and cabinetry helps reflect the available light and reduce visual heaviness. Stone, ceramic tiles, and decorative panels form the principal interior finishes, introducing texture while maintaining visual coherence. Against this pale backdrop, black surfaces, frames, and fixtures add depth and define individual elements. This contrast establishes a shared design language extending from the kitchen to the bedroom and bathroom.

The kitchen supports the daily functions of this home office. Simple cabinetry, continuous work surfaces, and a counter with seating provide a setting for preparation, hospitality, and short breaks between activities. Plants arranged along the window bring freshness and a domestic quality to this practical space.

The bedroom forms the project’s more private domain. Alongside the bed, a dedicated corner for sitting and reading allows relaxation to extend beyond sleep. The adjacent wardrobe and bathroom complete this area, making extended stays more comfortable. Consistent materials and colors maintain the overall coherence, while furniture and textile textures give the room a quieter, softer atmosphere.

Lighting is one of the principal elements defining the interior’s identity. Linear lighting across the ceilings and selected wall surfaces emphasizes their continuity, while track lights provide focused illumination where needed. Vertical grooves, recessed shelves, and floating elements give the space variety and refinement with minimal ornamentation.

Having one team responsible for design and construction allowed the architectural intent to be carried through to the execution—from the alignment of lighting and material junctions to the proportions of cabinetry and fixed elements. In an interior defined by simple surfaces, these details play a significant role in the quality of the completed space.

Makran responds to the coexistence of work and life within a compact unit: an environment composed and orderly enough for professional meetings, with the amenities for hospitality, rest, and privacy that make spending long hours there comfortable.

Building 39 Lobby | The First Impression Within

The lobby of Building 39 was designed to communicate the quality of the entire building through the first encounter with its interior. Following the exterior façade, the lobby shapes residents’ and visitors’ initial impressions. As a setting for arrival, waiting, and meeting, it needed to be welcoming while expressing the building’s identity. The central ambition was to create a refined, luxurious environment whose quality could be felt through its proportions, materials, and precise execution.

The 80-square-meter lobby is located on Shahid Kord Street in Tehran’s District 4. It was designed and built during the Iranian calendar years 1401–1402. Our team’s responsibilities for the overall building encompassed architectural design, spatial planning, securing building permits, façade design, interior design, and construction. The lobby formed part of this integrated scope, allowing the entrance to reflect the architectural language and construction quality of the wider project.

The elongated layout and existing columns informed the spatial organization. Repeated frames, wall divisions, and light-colored floor bands establish an orderly, legible sequence along the entrance route. The columns are incorporated into the composition through the continuity of wall finishes and detailing, contributing to the lobby’s rhythm. Seating areas sit alongside the circulation route, providing dedicated places for waiting and conversation without interrupting movement.

The lobby’s visual identity rests on the contrast between light and dark surfaces. Pale walls with stone veining establish the primary backdrop, while dark flooring, black outlines, and furniture introduce depth and coherence. Light-colored floor borders connect these contrasting tones. The sense of luxury emerges from the coordination of these elements and the precision of their junctions, visible in the alignment of joints, edges, and adjoining materials.

Stone, ceramic tiles, brick, glass, and mirrors comprise the project’s overall material palette. Within the lobby, stone and ceramic surfaces, together with mirrorwork, play the dominant roles. Narrow mirror strips integrated into the wall finishes and larger panels at selected locations reflect light and surrounding views, adding visual depth. Combined with the rhythm of the frames, these reflections enrich the experience of moving through the space.

Recessed ceiling lights and focused illumination on the walls highlight the textures and veining of the finishes. A simple ceiling provides a calm backdrop, keeping attention on proportions and surface quality. Dark furniture with orderly forms completes the composition while offering comfortable places to pause and hold brief meetings.

Having our team responsible for both design and construction allowed the intended order to be carried through into the built details—from the coordination of wall and floor divisions to lighting placement and mirror installation. The lobby of Building 39 introduces the quality of the building at the moment of arrival: an orderly, refined, and inviting space that brings precision and comfort to an everyday passage.
