Mahtabi House, by the Iranian architect, Habibeh Madjdabadi, revives the local traditions, while in clear contrast with the surrounding buildings. Mahtabi, literally, “lit by the moon” in Persian, is the name of the Iranian traditional terraces, where the people use to sleep at night, while enjoying the summertime starry nights.

Due to the rising need for vehicle traffic in the recent years and the transformation of urban spaces, the spatial quality of bridges began... More

The design began based on the idea of Palemos, meaning battle. The space was divided in two sections: work space and exhibition space .the work space was designed as a garage art and the design of the exhibition space was based on the concept of heterotopia.
