Aghazadeh Mansion - Where Wind, Light, and Elegance Converge
Features of the Historical House
The mansion was designed in the Qajar style, with a cross-shaped southern room that faces a central courtyard with a large stone pond located in the middle of the courtyard. The pergola of the mansion was decorated by muqarnas and decorated with beautiful stuccos. The mansion contains a rare type of dome, called Kolah Farangi, that complements the aesthetics of the home and its badgir. It also serves as an inlet for natural light to come into the home and make it look brighter. Its open arcades feature wooden stained glass windows that can be opened or closed.
The mansion's windcatcher is regarded as one of the finest in the world. The main windcatcher is 18 metres (59 ft) high and covers an area of 18 square metres (190 sq ft). There are 19 air-adjusting vents in the windcatcher, which are internally connected to a second windcatcher. This windcatcher can do the air-adjustment even if there is no wind blowing. Unlike most windcatchers, this one is a two-storey structure.The mansion has three different sections, enabling residents to live in different parts of the house based on the weather conditions in various seasons.
