Aban House, Iran: Isfahan Property
On a narrow rectangular site in the heart of Isfahan’s dense historic centre, the three-storey house for two architects and their newborn daughter is arranged around three open courtyards.
This three-storey family house was designed to blend into the historic neighbourhood:
View of the northern façade from the entrance. Handmade bricks were used to build all outdoor spaces, including the façade, in order to harmonise this new house with the existing buildings:
The ground-floor kitchen is the nucleus of the house; the living room is located on the first floor, and bedrooms on the upper floor; a terrace on the roof provides expansive views over Isfahan.
The kitchen is located at the heart of the house and provides a space for family members and friends to share quality time together:

The frame structure of the house is clad entirely with handmade local ochre-coloured brick laid in a variety of horizontal and vertical patterns.
An undefined space where the family members can read, relax or simply look out of the window:
The interior spaces are organised around three different courtyards, thus providing more light and interaction with the exterior than the traditional central courtyard model:
The exterior façade is blind, while all of the interior spaces enjoy abundant lighting from the three courtyards.
