this project is located in Fasham Mountain Road which is a reminder of the weekend pastimes of Tehran residents. A friendly group or an intimate family wants a comfortable space with architectural qualities to relax and serve a meal. A restaurant that is located between the road and need a space to rest for a longer period of time than serving food. So the first step was to divide the interior spaces into several zones with appropriate usage for the space users: family group, VIP section, and and friendly groups. Therefore, the main hall was divided into two parts along the length, which was connected by a middle corridor in the form of an axis of spaces from the outside to the end of the project, where the service spaces (bathroom and kitchen) are located. The main entrance is connected to a half-floor with a staircase which creates a private space and is directly connected to the main halls through the middle corridor, this corridor facilitates the traffic and service to these three separate sections. Mazedar arch as an element of creating Iranian belonging has formed the concept of Arka restaurant space. These arches after passing the modernization stage, define the entrance, body and roof of the environment. In other words, an inverted arch can have an objective appearance in a box full of green plants, or space for lighting or objects used in a restaurant. In addition, the reception space inspired by the name of Arka with simple decorations of convex mirrors with circular shape and rhythmically inverted arches along the body of the halls, defining the body of the space, separates these two halls. The use of absolute white color in the bodies, makes arches index. Also, changing the material from white to warm wood color acts as a linear guide by creating a visual impact on the users. Among the minor but effective decorations in terms of color combination and creating a sense of liveliness of the project is the use of green walls in the entrance hall and corridor of the main hall. Finally, our view of this project is a formal look, considering the appropriate function which leads to a desirable outcome.
