ABOUT KIANPOUR BOUTIQUE HOTEL

Kianpour historical house

At the beginning of this article and before talking about Kianpour boutique hotel, it is noteworthy to mention that the oldest pattern in residential building is the pattern of four Chefteh or four Sofeh, which, in Iranian architecture, they are also called four houses or four sides.

In traditional Iranian architecture, residential house architecture was designed and built based on the principles of special patterns, which could be seen in both royal families, nobles, as well as ordinary people. This model has been very compatible with Iranian lifestyle because of the following reasons.
Firstly, it is an introverted pattern that is in harmony with Iranian culture, and secondly, the temperature fluctuations inside it are very low, which makes it cool in summer and warm in winter, and thirdly, this pattern can be done with arches and domes or with a wooden simple roof called (Asemaneh). The four-face (four Chefeteh) pattern is the basic pattern for all Iranian houses. The broadest type of this pattern is a house with a yard called (Miansrara), which acts as an open area for light. The rooms around the Miansara have placed on the four sides, and the middle part (Miansara) is usually very big, unfortunately, this type of Miansara can no longer be covered and is not suitable for a pattern of urban houses nowadays. In these houses, each part of the house is built on one side of the Miansara, which is sometimes three-sided or four-sided. The sides that open to the south and south-east-west are used in winter and during the cold seasons; because they are sunny, and the sides that open to the north are used during the heat because there are less sunlight.
