Mihrumah Hotel

Three-bay courtyard arcade

Project

Period: 2022–23
Typology: Hospitality

At Mihrumah, guest spaces connect through a courtyard, a stone stair and narrow passages. A three-bay arcade, carved stone elements and timber joinery define the courtyard. Earlier and construction photographs allow the existing surfaces and subsequent spatial arrangement to be read as distinct stages.
