SHIKH BAHAE

Architect: Mr.Masih.Akhlaghi

Location: Iran,Isfahan

Type: Hotel

Project idea: This hotel project, located in the heart of the historic city of Isfahan, is inspired by traditional Iranian architectural patterns,
particularly those of Isfahan. The overall structure is organized around a central courtyard, a layout deeply rooted in the
architectural heritage of traditional Iranian houses, evoking a strong sense of
belonging, tranquility, and social interaction for guests.

The brick façade, adorned with a series of arches and intricate brick latticework,
reflects the aesthetics of traditional architecture reimagined in a contemporary language.
The rhythmic repetition of arches across different layers of the façade creates a harmonious visual experience, allowing
soft, filtered light to permeate the interior spaces and offering a delightful play of light and shadow.

The central courtyard, featuring a water fountain at its heart and lush green gardens surrounding it, creates a lively yet serene
atmosphere. It functions not only as a beautiful visual element but also as a practical space for guest interaction, relaxation, and immersion in nature.

The black spiral staircase on one side of the courtyard creates a striking visual contrast with the traditional brick textures,
symbolizing the thoughtful integration of tradition and modernity within the project’s design.

By blending the essence of authentic Iranian architecture with the contemporary needs of hospitality, this hotel offers a timeless and enchanting environment for both
domestic and international visitors, vividly embodying the spirit of Iranian hospitality in the heart of Isfahan.
