This renovation project in Tehran, Iran, seamlessly integrates a private courtyard with the home's interior to create a harmonious connection between architecture and nature. Using glass walls and an open-plan design, the layout flows continuously from the courtyard into the living room, kitchen, and other common areas. A central line of light guides visitors through the space, enhancing the sense of unity and fluidity.

The courtyard, featuring textured stone walls and a naturalistic design, serves as a focal point with its interplay of light and shadow. Despite its compact size, small-scale elements like a fountain and a pergola bring a touch of nature into the space. The use of organic materials such as Cream Travertine, Marigold stone, and Thermo wood throughout the project emphasizes the commitment to a natural aesthetic.

This transformation turns a previously sterile courtyard into a vibrant, inviting environment, offering a peaceful retreat from the bustle of city life while maintaining a sense of continuity between indoor and outdoor spaces.
