Amplifing the historic vibe
The Weaver Loft project in Iran had many obstacles to overcome, but the main one was how to transform a textile factory into an enticing residential house. Like many other historic building renovation projects, Ravagh Atelier found a key challenge was preserving the spirit and the original fabric of the building while injecting a contemporary feel to it. The studio wanted to stay away from replacing the traditional elements and instead complement them with new design solutions. During the process, the architects designed and created handmade tiles to bring harmony with the overall feel of the building.
The design team used mirrors at the entrance to create depth and rebuilt arches to amplify the historic vibe of the structure. Further on, they designed the outdoor space to complement the interior: to match its vibe and serenity, a peaceful spot to enjoy the accompany of family and friends for hours on end.
