Researching on the structure of Lariha house

In the architectural style of Yazd, maintaining the privacy of the family is considered as an important and necessary principle. The architects and builders of the original and historical buildings in this desert province have built them in such a way that no stranger can enter them without the permission of the landlord.

The building of Lariha House is built according to the general style of the aristocratic houses around it; that is a house with two inner and outer parts - the courtyard in the center and the aristocratic parts around the courtyard in four seasons.

The northern part was used in winter and the southern part in summer, which includes a hall and a windcatcher.

The eastern side, which includes the crypt mirrored room and other spaces, was used in autumn, and the western side was used as a terrace in spring.

The main courtyard of this house is large and detailed, and the porches, halls and rooms are located around it. This courtyard is built in a rectangular shape.

What catches the eye in the main courtyard is the large porch that leads to the long windcatcher of this house. Of course, this windcatcher is not the only one in the house, and the interior of this house is mostly cooled by smaller windcatchers that are located in the corners of the mansion.
