Nedarag Community Guesthouse by NextOffice in KahnanikashNedarag Guesthouse is a non-profit, community-based architectural project located in Kahnanikash, a Sunni-Baluch village in southeastern Baluchestan, Iran.
Construction techniques draw directly from local practices and materials, including dry-stacked stone walls, palm-derived fibers, and earthen finishes.
Thick stone walls provide thermal mass, while a double-layered roof and wall system reduces solar radiation and moderates interior temperatures.
The vaulted canopy unifies the individual units into a single architectural ensemble, creating layered shade and protected outdoor space.
Village residents participated directly in wall construction, roof fabrication, and finishing works, while palm-fiber ropes, mats, and earthen plasters were produced locally.
