With the arrival of neo-classical, Art Nouveau, Art Deco, and modern architectural elements in Iran, extensive changes can be observed in the design style of the facades of Vartan’s works in these three periods.

But in the third period, with projecting balconies protruding from the facade and decorations of windows indicating the style of Art Deco in terms of material and non - symmetry, it is partly an indicator of the modern style due to the fading of the decorations .each of these features is related to different styles in his works .
