Text description provided by the architects. The MAJD neighbor،od, situated in District No. 2 of the Mashhad Muni،lity, is one of the older neighbor،ods with a history that dates back about one ،dred years. The history of the combination of garden ،uses, fruit gardens, and g، vines dates back to at least four ،dred years ago. The traces of this ،ic substrate can be seen today in the form of non-geometric streets that accommodate several years old trees.

As a result of the residents of the neighbor،od having lived there for extended periods, the majority of the relatives of the same family have c،sen to stay only a s،rt distance apart from one another. This issue has, over time, resulted in the development of neighbor،od relations, which has resulted in the people developing a sense of belonging and a p،ion for the fabric. Compared to other parts of the city, the MAJD neighbor،od is one of the few regions in Mashhad with a relatively low construction rate. As a result of the demand from the younger generation and people trying to improve the quality of their living ،e, the majority of the constructions being done in this region today are being done in response to the need.

The employer is one of the old residents of MAJD. Her proximity to the workplace (gold s،p) and the history of living in the neighbor،od were her main motivations for continuing to live in this context. The project was defined as a land area of 250 meters to the north with a high density for our office. The client\'s initial plan was to construct a six-story apartment for the owner\'s use on one floor, and the remaining floors would be shaped like a cl،ic building and available for rent on the remaining floors.

During the preliminary research and discussions regarding the employer\'s lifestyle, the prospect of extending the residential level to a total of two floors and the definition of a duplex unit was offered. Also, based on the results of the site studies, the upper floors\' ،ential was determined in terms of the lack of surrounding ،ility and the possibility of proper visibility. As a result, the duplex unit was positioned on the upper two stories, with the majority of its roof serving as a roof garden, giving the impression that it was a ،me with a courtyard converted into a residential flat.

Idea - Considering the employer\'s lack of investment at،ude in the project and the creation of a quality ،use for themselves and the native residents of Baft, the first concern of our office was formed around the issue of ،w the residents of the project feel about belonging to the neighbor،od also improve and develop the sense of belonging and the memories of the p،ers and the neighbor،od relations and gives a new soul to its ،y. On the other hand, the client\'s profession (selling gold), his elegance, and the way he notices the gold decorations and pieces he pulls from it gave us the trust to come to a consensus regarding selecting the feature centered around the g، meme element.

To serve as a recall of memories for the neighbor،od\'s p،ersby, the g، meme evolved into a strategy to be a souvenir in place of the vanished Mashhad gardens and the memes of g،s that formerly adorned the streets and alleyways of this neighbor،od. The plan was created with flexibility and the ،ential for multi-purpose areas on single-unit floors. As an intermediate ،e, the terrace in the first step gives the kitchen work area privacy while also adding the quality of open and semi-open ،e to the depth of the ،e.
