This break area is located on the sixth floor of the headquarters on Beheshti Street. This floor includes a dining hall and a prayer hall, each with a capacity of about people, two toilets, a bathroom, a lobby, and a storage room. Clients request for interior design and renovation of this area were an emphasis on enlivening the employees rest space, design in accordance with the organization’s chart, and the least amount of disruption in the work schedules of other floors and daily commutes, during the construction phase.
In the status quo, the prayer hall was located on north-end, and the dining hall was located on south-end. Considering the direction of Qibla and the access to prayer hall, resulted in a long undesirable corridor which occupied a large area. Also, the positioning of the dining hall on south-end which resulted in unfavorable views to the roof and mechanical facilities, and its distance from the dishwasher room also needed to be redesigned. Requirements such as two main accesses from the north and south to the roof, maintaining the required area for each space according to the design specifications, and access to the utility room, also imposed their restrictions. Therefore, the first step in design was the rearrangement of spaces: the spatial organization. By switching the locations of the prayer hall and dining hall, more suitable access to the prayer hall, and a more beautiful view towards the northern mountains of Tehran, was achieved in the dining hall. The entrance lobby, located next to the elevator, provided access to other spaces, with a more appropriate geometry, and a more favorable area. In the end, due to the spatial limitations, the toilet was placed in the middle of these two spaces, and adjacent to the prayer hall.

Then, with the help of a reputable company, estimate the potential cost of the work from the details of the work and the reconstruction process, consumables, equipment and manpower required.

The materials, their color and texture in each space, was selected according to the nature of the space. Our goal in designing the prayer hall was simplicity and purity in all its components, so that the main focus is on the direction of the Qibla and the position of the Mihrab. The combination of blue and white in the prayer hall, provides a relaxing environment for prayers, during contemplation and daily worship. Also, the separation of this two colors with its pleasant contrast in the vicinity of the Mihrab, and the use of rhythm and repetitive geometric pattern caused more focus on it. The extension of this pattern in the openings, and the planting of shrubs in the background, created a more lively atmosphere. The design of north wall encircling the Mihrab was completed with prominent verses, which done by masonry, in white color, and with a uniform texture. In the dining hall, deployment of wood and its combination on a white and gray background, has given a special warmth to the space, and has created an intimate environment for a friendly chat while eating. Finally, a green wall including shrubs and vines, was integrated continuously, with lattice scaffolding to a height of . meters, in the exterior of the building, and on the roof, to improve the view in all the walls with opening.
