Accordingly, by conceptualizing the design based on the styles of Loft Architecture, The majority of the interior is finished with a smooth, raw concrete. Everything from the walls to the floor and even the ceiling. But the cold touch of the cement is balanced with the addition of natural wood textures found in the furniture and extending to the quaint sun room adjacent the kitchen.

OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION:
It is tough to combine a contemporary design with a soft, homey feel but the Mehr Khaneh can give a few pointers on how to do so. Aptly named for it is creative use of natural light while also incorporating the Persian culture of harnessing the sun symbols within decor, The ancient sun pattern was used as a light frame in this unit. Furniture are designed in accord with the aforementioned concepts, realized by using materials such as concrete, rebar, and metals.

In this context, attempts were made to analyze special geometry, the role of vegetation, light, materials, cozy and warm atmosphere, Mithraism symbols, the Sun, along with measurement and attention to details using pieces of evidence on constructive experiences. According to our studies, it has been claimed that these traditional architecture meanings have been a clear answer to the concept of Christian Norberg Schulz, Genius Loci.

CHALLENGE:
Economic limitations can be counted as a strict limitation to a project. But we tried to use these factors as motivator to design and make the Interiors with propitious, One of the challenges of the research was extracting the principles of Persian architecture and genius loci in residential spaces and transform it to a practical and modern language. on the other hand designers should be made an artistic home office space. cozy and warm place but artistic and symbolic concept like gallery, used loft design style but with warm and cozy atmosphere.
