Colonialism: European-French, Greek-Mediterranean, or generally Iranian-Middle Eastern?

Country interior design and country-style architecture are taking the world by storm. More and more people who come to receive professional interior design are focusing on country interior design due to the country atmosphere and also two years of a pandemic that has whetted our appetite. Country design makes it difficult for us to create words or language to describe it because it is a fairly broad design style with broad characteristics. Among the popular options are of course a Provence-style house, or a Mediterranean style, or generally Tuscan-inspired. Anyway, we think we have exhausted the topic and we think you will too. After too many articles on country styles, we have compiled information for you about an Iranian village, its beauty, pastorality and functionality. Let's get started!

Leave Provence behind: Let's get to know the village of Mesola in Iran
The Iranian village of Mesola is a village that is more than 1000 years old and was founded by its inhabitants. The village is based on elements that take into account the environmental conditions that surround them. Like many ancient villages established by residents, in Messola, the residents also took into account the importance of the terrain conditions, which in the specific case of Messola is the humidity at the peak of the mountain and the low temperature. So how did it become a line that might guide many design styles? We have summarized some of the characteristics that the Messolais gave importance to in designing their village:

The Messola climate. Messola is affected by two environmental conditions. The first, humidity and the second, cold. In fact, the combination of the two creates very cold winters, but mild summers.
Materials. There is quite a large variety of raw materials behind the creation of the buildings in the Messola rural style of architecture, and the construction is considered to be a combined construction of stone, brick and wood, all of which are of course local. The building is actually supported by a huge stone, which many architects prefer not to touch or damage due to the high humidity in the area and which also, of course, create a great view.
Mesola contains 350 houses in a style that is different from a Provençal style house, their key feature is sustainable neighborhoods. The connection between them, in fact, creates a chain of houses on the topography line. Each house is between one and four floors and more than 70% of the houses are two-story houses with the ground floor usually not intended for living.
The conclusion. is that the way of life in this type of architecture, the village of Mesola maintains a rural structure with an architectural design in the middle of a hill and in accordance with the climatic conditions of the area. In addition, the village is built in a way that takes into account the natural shape of the island and receives as much sunlight as possible in the cold winters of Mesola.
In conclusion, the village of Mesola is built in accordance with its environment and taking into account all environmental characteristics.
