Khāné-ye Borūjerdīhā or "Borujerdis' House" is a famous historic house

in Kashan, Iran.

 

The house was built in 1857 for the bride of Haji Mehdi Borujerdui, a

wealthy merchant. The bride came from the affluent Tabatabaei family,

for whom Ustad Ali had built their house (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 18 years to build using 150 craftsmen. It is considered

a true masterpiece of Persian traditional residential architecture. It

was designed by Ustad Ali Maryam.

This photo is working greatly !

Light : very even and subtle ; there are spots of light which lead the eye around the composition.

Composition : the nestled roof gives a great sensation of the volume and the angle it was shot makes the space very large.

Colours : one could think it is on a same level ; I would say my eye feels the colours arising and anticipates the diversity ot it.

 

Conclusion : this is a very great work ; I do appreciate it and I say go on and thanks for sharing.
