Mijan: Blending Traditional and Modern Elements in a Cozy Holiday House

Renowned architectural duo Yaser and Yasin Rashid Shomali have unveiled their latest project, Mijan, a modern holiday house inspired by local building traditions. Drawing inspiration from the sloping roofs of the surrounding area, Mijan seamlessly blends traditional and modern elements to create a unique and cozy atmosphere. The design features a solid and simple form to evoke a powerful and safe feeling, complemented by curved roofs to soften the overall shape. The primary goal was to create harmony with the surrounding environment, resulting in a futuristic and modern form. The interior boasts fluid and corner shapes, warm colors, and unique floor materials to create a cozy feel, while the second conventional area elevates the viewer's eye level, presenting different points of view.

Constructed using a steel structure and standing seam roof, Mijan spans 240 square meters over two levels, situated on a 498 square meter plot of land. The design incorporates white walls and large picture windows influenced by the form of the sloping roof, allowing for fluidity and transparency in the spaces. The project, which began in January 2023 in Gilan, Iran, posed several challenges, including combining solid and sloping roofs, as well as height limitations in the triangle form design. However, the result is a design that not only harmonizes with the local environment but also provides a cozy and modern retreat for its occupants.

Mijan has been recognized with the prestigious Silver A' Design Award in the Architecture, Building, and Structure Design category in 2023, showcasing the exceptional expertise and innovation demonstrated by Yaser and Yasin Rashid Shomali in this remarkable project.
