The project is located in Pardemeh village in Amol, Iran. It was named Pardemeh due to its density of fog. A shell and a new gathering environment are created by leveling the primary surface. A main challenge was how to connect the outdoor fog with the indoor. Developing light-catching openings and old ventilation created a space that gives users new experiences. It creates paradoxical feelings by combining the hot and cold air and its perspiration on the glass. Also, a part of the shell is lifted at the entrance of the stores that sell some village products and bathing equipment.
