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.

And we're most likely to settle in Pardisan, Iran.
And here are some photographs of an apartment located in Pardisan. It's two bedrooms, two bathrooms (1 Western and 1 Eastern), a living room area, a kitchen, and a balcony.
And here's a grainy video tour of the inside.
