The Borujerdi House (Persian: خانهٔ بروجردی‌ها‎ Khāneh-ye Borujerdihā)

is a historic house in Kashan, Iran.

 

The house was built in 1857 by architect Ustad Ali Maryam, for the

bride of Haji Mehdi Borujerdi, a wealthy merchant. The bride came from

the affluent Tabatabaei family, for whom Ali Maryam had built the

Tabatabaei House some years earlier.

 

It consists of a rectangular beautiful courtyard, delightful wall

paintings by the royal painter Kamal-ol-molk, and three 40 meter tall

wind towers which help cool the house to unusually cool temperatures.

It has 3 entrances, and all the classic signatures of traditional

Persian residential architecture, such as biruni and daruni (andarun).

The house took eighteen years to build using 150 craftsmen.

 

Thanks for comments.
