Mehraz Stein Glass Dome Project

Mehraz stein glass dome project was designed and implemented completely in 2016 by the expert group of Architaj.

The Mehraz Factory (manufacturer of wooden artifact) requested the expert group of Architaj a corporation for a design for its sales office. The design was to be done for a void located on the upper side of the staircase of a showroom.

The building of the project is a duplex building with a square-shaped void on the dimensions of 2.5 meters in the ceiling, and the path between the staircase to the showroom leads to the lower floor.

The dome is a circle-shaped element, but the void in this building is square-shaped, and there is a necessary need to build a frame to compensate for the required elements of a dome.

The building structure of the construction is made of profile sections through the cold rolling operation, and it was curved according to the model and then the joints were welded completely, and finally, have created the mainframe.

In the center of the square section, a circle with a diameter of 2.5 meters is created to separate the corners of the square in the form of a gusset plate, and the gusset plates, which are visible in the picture are considered flat.

It should be mentioned that all the constructions designed have all been confirmed by the engineering organization and the design requirements and iron usage have all been diligently complied with.

After the complete implementation, the building structure is covered entirely in electrostatic color, so to be resistant to the sulphitation in the years to come.

The stein glass of the construction has all classic fantasy design and carved glass, colored glass with combinations of turquoise and green, and furnace glass are utilized for it.

The furnace color of the glass seems like red, initially, they are painted on the glass, and then the glasses are put into the furnace to be heated at 800 degrees. The final product becomes like an integrated unity of glasses and colors, and it will maintain the form for so many years.

Then after the construction of stein glass sashes and installments on the building structure, the installments of the polymer layers were done for the external part of the dome. Then the hinges between the layers are covered with pressured tubes and aluminum sections (convex) cover the upper side of the tube. These fulfillments make the construction resistant to water leakage and the skylight would not be involved in climate changes.
