Spiral Cafe is the design of a small coffee shop in the green space of Mazandaran Forest. This cafe, along with 29 other projects, will form the Izadshahr Forest Park near the Caspian Sea, which is the largest forest eco park in the Middle East.  The spiral cafe building will be built on one floor. The space inside is an open space (universal). The form of cafe is designed based on the circle, which provides the maximum amount of view for those who use it. All its walls are made of glass.

Local area forest materials

In the selection of materials, an attempt has been made to make maximum use of local materials. Except for glass, other materials are supplied from the project site.

Coffee Service amongst abundance of Natural Light

Large glass surfaces in the facade of the spiral cafe, in addition to providing transparency and perspective, help to maximize the use of natural light and reduce the use of artificial lighting. Due to the shallow depth of the building, natural light easily penetrates all parts of it.
