This project tries to take advantage of the facilities of traditional vaults by using new techniques to create new spaces that are compatible with the surrounding natural environment in addition to aesthetic aspects. In this project, the structural compositions of double-clad vaults were followed, then new combinations were created by cutting and rotating the vaults in perpendicular directions and placing them on top of each other so that the load of vault is supported by the lower vault.
