Kaarestan Event Space / Persian Garden Studio

Kaarestan Event Space, located in Tehran's historic and cultural district, is an 80-year-old historic building that was left abandoned after the death of its owners Alireza Afzalipour, a philanthropist, and his wife Fekhere Saba a famous opera singer. The building originally consisted of three residential floors in the main northern building, a one-story southern structure, and a courtyard in between the two. The building was purchased by a well-known startup company, as part of their social responsibility plan, to be reused as a private event space and provide a place for young talents to gather, perform and create art.
