The single-vault house

The Single-Vault House in Najafabad, Isfahan, is designed with inspiration from the region's traditional architecture, using the vault as the primary design element. A single large vault gathers all the house's spaces under one unified roof, creating remarkable spatial continuity. This house represents a contemporary reinterpretation of traditional Iranian architectural elements — demonstrating that the ancient structural and spatial logic of the vault can be reimagined for modern domestic life. With a built area of 210 square meters, the Single-Vault House won joint Second Place in the Individual Dwellings category at the 21st Memar Award (2021) with 8 points, tied with Dasht-e-Chehel Villa.
