Are we about to add another place to your list of places to visit? Yes we are, today we’re going to tell you about the beautiful project created by ZAV studio.

The project includes a multitude of small, indeed very small domes built with the “Superadobe” technique developed by Iranian architect Nader Khalili.

These wonderful, small and colorful houses are located along the beaches of the island of Hormuz, in the Persian Gulf.
The multi-purpose project, titled “Presence in Hormuz”, features terracotta structures that punctuate the sandy landscape in a structured agglomeration of peaks and bulbs.

Conceived as a continuous, colorful dome structure, the design was inspired by the granular structures of the land. The studio used rammed earth and sand in bags to build the domes.

As the architects point out, Presence in Hormuz is an ongoing process that aims to build trust rather than architectural objects in order to encourage the participation of local people and the inclusion of their interests in any intervention on the island.

“In a country where the state struggles with political disputes outside its borders, every architectural project becomes a proposal for internal governing alternatives, asking basic questions: what are the limits of architecture and how can it suggest a political alternative for communal life? How can it attain social agency?” asked the firm.

Here you go, we are sure that the beauty of the project of the ZAV studio will leave you speechless, a real dream place next to the sea.
