RESEARCH ABSTRACT: The main subject for our research was the Qajar reign's houses and their unique elements and characteristics.
CHALLENGE: According to the previous information, we decided to take Mirror as the main concept of our design, reference to our research about old Iranian houses and also the Golsetan Palace. Our approach was to take mirror as an element of the old, and modernize it into a new version. This is why Chrome was chosen as the main material which is modern but has the reflective quality as well.
