In the historic district of

City, the Safa House, situated in the Amir Chakhmaq neighborhood, was assigned to the Torab Home Company as a restoration project. A house segment suffered significant damage, and various sections underwent physical transformations over time.

Within the design department at Torab Home, we endeavored to craft a design that not only caters to contemporary living requirements but also fortifies the residential environment and elevates the cultural ambiance of the vicinity. The house's strategic location is noteworthy as it is within the global registration area of

City, in close proximity to key urban landmarks like Amir Chakhmaq Takiye and the New Jame Mosque.

Consequently, factors such as preserving the coherence of the historical setting dictated the use of traditional construction materials and techniques throughout the design and construction processes. Only in areas entirely demolished, based on available documentation (the earliest aerial photo of

city dating back to 1955), did we employ a creative and harmonious redesign with the original structure of the house.

Upon completing the design phase and initiating the execution workshop, workshop conditions, including issues in the northern part of the house and the imperative to preserve the integrity of the original staircase, surfaced. The revelation that the entrance door had been destroyed and the rooms had deviated from their original configuration over time fostered collaboration between the design and execution teams. This iterative process resulted in a more comprehensive and refined design.

Overall, the primary objective of this plan was to conserve and faithfully represent the values inherent in the historical

context. Notable among these values are the house's integration into its historical surroundings, its adjacency to residences where the rhythm of life remains uninterrupted, the incorporation of a sunken courtyard pattern, and the maintenance of its distinctive proportions.
