We are an architect couple. In a large, crowded city like Tehran, our work involves designing and supervising building projects; a pleasant yet full-time and demanding job. We always wanted to build a space for ourselves to spend our weekends away from the busyness of work and thoughts, or to rest a bit there after delivering each project. A place to refresh our minds and bodies, and a space for loving and living together. A place different from our studio or even our apartment, but as simple and logical as ourselves and our architecture. A familiar, intimate, comfortable, white space.
"At Golestaneh," a poem by our beloved contemporary poet, Sohrab Sepehri, describes the feeling of this space in our minds well, and it became the name of our home.
"Turfs of such vastness,
Mountains of such heights;
Golestaneh is engulfed-
in the fresh scent of grass."
Le Corbusier's simple solution; a standardized two-story house, made up of two concrete slabs held up by six thin columns and a simple staircase, the Dom-Ino House, an ever-present spirit in contemporary architecture, became the overall concept of Golestaneh.
The combination of Sohrab’s "At Golestaneh," our perception of the space, and Le Corbusier’s Dom-Ino—a simple, quick, inexpensive, and potentially minimal housing pattern—became the haven of our peace and tranquility. A house that is the result of our own different designs and those of all our architect friends, based on the six Le Corbusier columns.
The site plan... Golestaneh is located in the northern part of the land, facing away from the street; a house facing the garden, so that our small yard or orange orchard also serves as our private retreat.
**Interiors...** We believe that a space with its neutral coordinates must be a gentle theme for the occurrence of place. Therefore, we chose the artistic minimalist expression, in accordance with the simplicity of Le Corbusier's Dom-Ino frame for the interior spaces; a reaction to today's architectural meltdown.
To strengthen the sense of place, the purity, simplicity, and readability were enhanced. Minimalism, clarity in design, spatial fluidity, functional flexibility, and visual continuity created a unified yet fantastical interior design without any complexities, to the extent that the sense of comfort, attachment to place, and memorability of Golestaneh is surprisingly high for ourselves and all our architect and artist friends and acquaintances.
