House in Harmony / Golchin Studio
Located in Esfahan's dense Dolatabad neighborhood, House in Harmony establishes a quiet, introverted sanctuary that reconciles multi-generational living with an intensely heterogeneous urban edge. The 268-square-meter infill site is bordered to the west by an active automotive oil change shop, to the east by a mixed-use retail/residential building, to the north by an 8-meter street directly facing an elementary school, and to the south by a narrow 4-meter residential alley. Commissioned by a family of four, the brief required a flexible layout capable of hosting visiting grandparents while maintaining high thermal comfort, acoustic privacy, and natural daylight on a site flanked by industrial, commercial, and educational functions.
