The Namazi House in Tehran is a rare work by Italian master architect Gio Ponti in Iran, designed in the mid-1960s for the prominent Namazi philanthropic family. The villa features a distinctive curved roof, a striking facade composed of ceramic panels, colored glass elements, and sculptural window openings of varying shapes and sizes. The interior showcases Ponti's meticulous attention to detail with custom furniture, an elaborate staircase with alternating marble treads, and seamless indoor-outdoor spatial flow connecting to the garden and pool.
