Design visualizations
The concept, made spatial.
These views translate Asmar's authored plans, elevations and material direction into a plausible interior. They are design visualizations, not photographs of a completed project.
The authored plan and second elevation translated into a view through the kitchen, dining room and garden glazing.
Design visualization developed from Asmar Tayyebi Jazayeri’s project drawings. Not built-project photography.

The decisions behind the view.
The original project drawing remains the source of truth for layout, circulation and the major spatial relationships developed through the case study.
A four-seat island, work triangle and arched threshold organize the kitchen and garden-facing dining room.

Beginning with architecture, not ornament.
The project begins with research into three Persian traditions: the iwan and its pointed or vaulted spatial form; ayeneh-kari mirror-work as a geometric reflective surface; and Orosi stained glass as patterned colour shaped by light.
These precedents are not copied literally. They establish a vocabulary of arches, layered thresholds, pattern and luminosity that can be reinterpreted within a contemporary kitchen.
A pale vaulted interior shows the spatial rhythm of arches and niches.

Turning precedent into a contemporary palette.
Arches, Persian textiles, pomegranate, warm metal, brick and pale stone are gathered into a restrained residential direction. The references become part of the room’s architectural language rather than simply applied decoration.
Because the source board does not identify products, the materials are treated as visual direction rather than named specifications.
Tea, fruit and warm metal bring hospitality and patina into the concept language.

A working kitchen with a garden-facing threshold.
The kitchen is organized around a four-seat island. Cooking, washing and refrigeration follow the perimeter and are linked by a work triangle marked at nine metres in the plan. An arched division creates a threshold to the dining room without severing the spaces.
The oval dining table is oriented toward the garden, giving the everyday plan a clear relationship to natural light and the exterior.
A consistent warm rectangular module connects the kitchen and dining zones.

References carried into the elevations.
The first elevation frames open shelving, patterned backsplash and base cabinetry within a broad arch. The second develops a complete storage and appliance wall, then continues into three pointed-arch elements with narrow coloured bands.
The drawings move the initial research from image and motif into the actual organization of openings, storage and built-in surfaces.
