Darous House is a historic residence that had endured significant structural damage over the years. Recognizing its architectural value, the distinctive character of the Darous neighborhood, and the substantial economic worth of the land, the property was selected for a meticulous architectural restoration. Following extensive research into theoretical restoration principles, designers adopted "habitation" as the core approach, with the primary objective of preserving the historical essence of the structure. Original design elements were studied and reinterpreted, informing the layout, spatial organization, decorative detailing, landscaping, and all points of interaction between the building and its occupants.
A key visual motif of the project is the pointed arches and a striking skylight, inspired by the arches of the original structure. The design team implemented slight modifications to traditional Iranian arch construction techniques to breathe new life into the space while honoring its historical character. Structural reinforcements were precisely calculated and applied to impose minimal alteration on the existing form, ensuring that the essence of the original structure remains intact.
The use of lapis blue as an accent color, in combination with white, emerged as a defining feature of the restoration, reinforcing the identity of the project. This color scheme was thoughtfully incorporated into focal points throughout the house, creating a cohesive aesthetic. Modular patterns, derived from traditional Iranian architecture, were incorporated into various elements, including the courtyard paving, external facades, handles, shading structures, and decorative details. These recurring motifs unify the design language of the project and create an integrated architectural experience.
Internally, a circular staircase was designed as both a functional and visual centerpiece, allowing access to the upper floor while introducing a modern element that complements the historical features. Adjustable shading devices, with the capacity to move along horizontal tracks, were also installed. These allow users to modulate natural light levels and create dynamic shading effects in response to the sun's direction and intensity, adding a layer of environmental adaptability.
In conclusion, the restoration of Darous House achieves a balance between heritage and contemporary living. By emphasizing historical elements and integrating them with modern architectural principles, the project honors the cultural significance of the property while ensuring it meets the functional needs of present-day occupants. This careful restoration reflects a deep respect for architectural history and a forward-looking approach to sustainable habitation.
