Borujerdiha 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, 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 architcture such as biruni and andaruni.

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.

Hi Davoud,
This door and its surroundings definatly are a work of art and a credit to the 150 craftsmen who worked on the building all those years ago. It is a shame that the cost of the labour these days does not allow for work to be carried out in this manner. Beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
Cheers,
Debbie

Salam Davoud,
A window to Persian art and history.
Nice angle , colours and sharpness.
I like the way you showed the details in designs and my favorite kind of windows.
The open window here is welcoming us to get to know more about it.
Good Luck
