Bedeutung
A dwelling that has existed for a long time.
Kultureller Hintergrund
Traditional old houses in Iran are designed for privacy and climate control, featuring thick walls and wind-catchers (badgirs). The 'old house' is often a character itself in Persian novels, representing the soul of a family. Living in a 'khāne-ye ghadimi' is now seen as a luxury or a hipster choice in Tehran, as most people live in modern apartments.
