  • Project Type:: Stained Glass skylight

Tehran Bazaar, as one of the most important and historical places in the city, has high economic and cultural value. In this space, Hakim Hashemi Gold Passage, located in the Gold Bazaar, plays an important role as the center of Iran’s gold bankers. This old passageway used to serve as a public bathhouse and later became a commercial center. At the request of the owners of this passageway, Archi Taj Complex removed the old, very worn-out skylight on its roof and replaced it with a new stained glass skylight with a modern design. This new skylight, inspired by Art Nouveau and Iranian motifs, gave this commercial space an attractive and special appearance. Considering the worn texture of the complex, the glass roof project of Tehran Bazaar Gold Passage is considered one of the most challenging projects of Archi Taj Engineering Team.

One of the main challenges in this project was the age and weak structure of the building. Archi Taj’s engineering team, with precise structural calculations, provided a suitable solution for creating connections and distributing incoming loads. These measures allowed the new skylight to be designed and installed with the lowest possible weight and the highest strength.

This skylight was designed in the shape of a half cylinder and gave a new look to the ceiling of this passageway by using a combination of frosted and colored cut glass. This combination creates a dazzling glow of natural light in the interior of the passageway.

Registered as a tourist attraction
