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.
