The Borujerdi House (Persian: خانه بروجردیها) is a historic house museum in Kashan, Iran. It was built in 1857 by architect Ustad Ali Maryam[1] for the bride of Borujerdi, a wealthy merchant.[2] The bride came from the affluent Tabātabāei family, for whom the architect had built the nearby Tabātabāei House several years earlier.[3] [4]
The Borujerdi House consists of the biruni ("exterior", the public area) and andaruni ("interior", the private quarters) features of Iran's traditional residential architecture, including a courtyard with a fountain pool and a two-story iwan (balcony).[2] The main hall is topped by a khishkhan, that is a type of central dome. Three 40-meter-tall windcatchers, two above the main hall and one over the entrance area, are also erected on the house.[5] [6] The house is decorated with stucco, glass work, and mirror work, and features frescoes by prominent painter Kamal-ol-Molk.[1] [2] [7]
