Bagh Jannat

Bagh-Janat alley on Abbasabad district is one of the oldest wealthy neighborhoods in Isfahan. The mass of the building is shaped according to the design codes, regulations and constraints, in order to provide desirable light and privacy. The setback on the upper stair defines the entrance on the ground floor and enhances the continuity of the building facade in the alley. The building receives proper daylight from northern and western voids and also from the setback on the second floor.

The path in the northern and southern part of the site is connected visually by making a gap between the building and its west wall. Moreover, such an opening provides light for interior spaces while the windows in the facade provide natural air conditioning on the second floor as well as an extension of inner view and light on the ground floor.

Located at the turning point of the alley, the site was likely to lose privacy due to the adjacent buildings. The dominance of their view to the inner spaces and the need for creating an introverted place for the client necessitates its semi-transparent facade. In continuation to the brick lines of the neighboring buildings, the wooden stripes covering openings and windows combined with the light crème travertine all fit in the context.
