Tehran bazaar is one the most important places in the city which is so precious in any aspect.
One of the most important malls of the bazaar is Hakim Hashemi Mall located at the gold bazaar which is the central place of the wholesalers.
This old building is regarded almost as a heritage of Iranian architecture, and it used to be a public bathroom in the very old days and with some transformations changed to a mall. It had an old-fashioned skylight which was removed by the Architaj group and a modern stained glass skylight had been replaced by the orders of the mall owners.
The project faced so many challenges, as the building was so old with weak pillars confronted the calculation of the structure with restrictions and lots of problems. The Architaj group found an efficient way for the structure connections to design and implement he skylight with the least price.
The square section of the skylight has caused the overall form to resemble a semi-cylinder, creating a great atmosphere with a circle and high ceiling.
The model was designed and implemented with the inspiration of modern art and Iranian motifs. The background of the colored glasses alongside the opaque glasses and carved glasses made a great impression on the atmosphere.
The glass ceiling of this mall has been registered in the list of tourist attractions of Tehran Bazaar. And those who are interested, and have a visit and a close look from the skylight.
