Iran Ambassador Residence, Seoul

The Iran Ambassador Residence in Seoul, designed by Farhad Ahmadi alongside the Iran Chancery, takes a more intimate approach while maintaining the same architectural vocabulary. The residence is organized around a central courtyard that references the traditional Iranian garden typology, adapted for the Korean context. With 830 square meters of land and 2,500 square meters of built area, the building's concrete and stone exterior walls enclose refined domestic spaces that blend Iranian hospitality traditions with modern residential comfort. The ground floor features formal reception areas facing the garden, while upper floors contain private family quarters. Interior spaces combine traditional Iranian materials and proportions with contemporary furnishing.
