The stained-glass dome project of the symbol of Farmanieh is like a lens.
This project has been designed and built in 1389 by the professional R. Chi Taj group.
The location of this residential building project is in the symbol of Farmanieh street.
In the ceiling of the main hall, a space for building a skylight has been considered.
The empty part of the ceiling has a circle shape with 3 meters diameter which is a good space for light entrance to the inner space of the building.
Based on the interactions between Mr. Yeganeh (the constructer of the building) and the R. Chi Taj group, a lens-like design for the dome has been considered for this space.
The design of the dome with a low height and lens-like appearance is done for decreasing the dome view in the external architecture of the construct and minimizing the dimension of the dome.
The design phase of the metal structure of this project (frame) has been done and according to that, the project entered the operational phase.
The design of the construct has done in a way that besides observing the operational principles and considering the essentials of design according to steel structures bylaw, the structure weight minimizes to the least possible weight and according to this, the costs of operating the project decrease enormously.
For this purpose, we used metal corners and shields for building this structure which are lighter materials compared to profile.
The design of the stained glass for this dome has been done with a minimal geometric style.
In this project, we use different kinds of glasses like shaved glass, matt glass and acid-washed glass which in general make the view shinier.
Due to the employer’s request, a place in the center of this dome has been considered for installing the chandelier which makes the project more attractive.
For insulating this project, a small room has been built on top of the construct which protects the ceiling from rainfall penetration.
It is called the European insulation technique which has main differences with other ones used in R. Chi Taj projects.
Every project which is defined in R. Chi Taj, is insulated with a particular method based on the features and associated technical principles of its own.
The technical features:
- Diameter of the dome: 3 meters
- The height: 0.5 meter
- Number of parts: 8
- The style: minimal geometric
- Location of project: Farmanieh (residential villa)
- Designer: Zahra Toot Zari
- Operator: the engineering group of Archi Taj
- Year of construction: 1389
