In the heartland of Iran, adjacent to the great Maranjab desert, sits the historic city of Kashan. With archaeological sites dating back 8000 years, world-renowned for its glazed ceramic arts, today it is a veritable treasure trove of historic houses. The restoration of this once-dilapidated mansion as the residency of a young Heritage NGO reconciles the past with the present. Executed exquisitely by the finest of craftsmen and women, the design juxtaposes age-old traditions of Iranian architecture and crafts with cutting-edge new materials, details and techniques.
