“The building is a development of the designer’s old house. In this project, the designer made an attempt to maintain the fundamental skeleton and to develop a larger space for his family,” the A’ Design Award and Competition, explained on its website
“In the beginning, he (Qanei) designed some rooms on the roof and then a larger ceiling to cover all the contents in order to devise an integrated space for the whole family,” it says.
