| DESIGN NAME: Captain Lounge PRIMARY FUNCTION: Hospitality and Restaurant INSPIRATION: Considering the name of the brand, Captain, and the similarity of the palette of the materials in a ship with the industrial look, we decided to implicitly reflect a ship atmosphere through the industrial style. UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: In the heart of Tehran, Captain Restaurant is the combination of a handful of hospitality spaces representing different demographic groups of this 9 million inhabitants city; an old-fashioned restaurant, a lounge, a non-alcoholic bar, some private rooms, and a roof-top area are gathered in a 3 storey building. The palette of materials is a resonance of the Industrial design, with some additions, i.e.ropes, to make the brand of Captain as bold as possible. This approach is obvious in other parts of the design, like the three enormous metal rings which illuminate the double-height main level of the restaurant, and gets to its highest level at one of the private rooms which is designed as a Captain room with circular glasses into an aquarium. Instead of using minimal smooth surfaces, the interior space is full of warm textures and colors; even the wooden slats on the ceiling are designed to look haphazardly in different sizes, or the floor planks are laid in a randomized combination of 7 pieces. While the ground level is dedicated to dining, the upper floor provides a lounge space with casual sitting spaces. Accordingly, the lighting of each floor is designed to emphasize such duality; the ground floor is brighter with bigger fixtures on higher elevation from the floor while the lounge is lit with smaller fixtures with less lumens and closer to the floor. One of the most unique features of this floor is the non-alcoholic bar with ample space for stools all around the ship-like shape of the counter. Although serving alcohol is forbidden in the country, spending time at a higher counter with some refreshing drinks and snacks can still be fun. Tehran’s climate allows the use of outdoors for a good portion of the year. The large flat roof of the building has bounded with some plants on the edge of the roof to respect the privacy of the gusts in a dense city like Tehran and also control the wind at such height. A green wall works with the perimeter plants to help with the aridness of the air besides soothing the views. Such experiences can be an exercise to bring different groups together in such a diverse context and help to improve the tolerance of us all.

NAME: ZarrinMoayery Studio PROFILE: ZarrinMoayery is a multifaceted studio based in California. Principals Hamed Zarrinkamari and Maryam Moayery Nia started the studio as a side project while working on their Ph.D. theses in Milan hoping to create a bridge between academia and professional practice. Working in a handful of different contexts and under different jurisdictions has given them an international taste of design. From Iran to Italy, the US, and then Canada they have worked on a wide range of projects including but not limited to residential projects, offices, wineries, cannabis facilities, hospitality spaces, etc. Hamed and Maryam are focused on the modern narrative of traditional patterns in the built environment and constantly try to bring the hidden underlying dynamism of people and spaces onto the reality of architecture. Their exposure to a wide range of ideas, forms, materials, and construction methods has enabled them to approach any project with a mix and match of the best options available beyond the local norms and solutions. |
