Abstract :The theoretical framework of this study is based on Pirnia’s five principles, which hold a significant place in Iranian architectural literature. These are human-centeredness, introversion, self-sufficiency, simplicity, and structural knowledge/proportion. The study aims to examine the core principles and spatial organization of traditional Iranian residential architecture through the example of the Lariha House, located in a hot-dry climate zone. Using a qualitative research method, the spatial elements (such as courtyard, iwan, room, wind tower, and sardab) are analyzed in relation to these principles. The building’s layout prioritizes comfort, privacy, climate adaptability, and flexibility. This reflects the potential of traditional architecture to inform contemporary housing design. Accordingly, the study highlights the importance of preserving and reinterpreting local architectural values in modern design.
