The Lari House, a Qajar-era mansion located in Yazd's historic Fahadan district, exemplifies the refined domestic architecture of Iran's nineteenth-century merchant class. Constructed from traditional materials—adobe, cob, brick, and plaster—the house showcases the durable building techniques suited to Yazd's arid climate. Its design reflects Qajar architectural principles, characterized by ornamental plasterwork and spatial organization typical of prosperous urban residences of the period. Recognized as an Iranian National Heritage site, the Lari House preserves important examples of period craftsmanship and domestic living standards in one of Iran's most architecturally significant historic cities.
