Monochrome Iranian holiday home

Monochrome Iranian holiday home by RooyDaad Architects is dark outside and white inside

RooyDaad Architects created this monochrome house as a weekend retreat from their practice in Tehran, and based its design on a housing model by Le Corbusier (+ slideshow).

RooyDaad founders Zahra Armand and Mostafa Omidbakhsh based the design of their 135-square-metre holiday home in Iran on Le Corbusier's Maison Dom-ino.

This 1914 minimal prototype for mass-produced housing was a two-storey building that would be made from concrete slabs supported by six thin columns with a simple staircase, but was never realised by the architect.

The couple wanted to apply this "simple and logical" design to their second home, which is located in West Zavat on Iran's northern coast.
