Apanjdari (Persian:پنجدری) (lit: "Five Doors") is a traditional element of vernacularPersian architecture.[1]
The word comes from "panj" (پنجfive) and "dar" (درwindow ordoor), meaning "five windowed room".
By definition, a panjdari is a large room that is often flanked to the maintalar of the house, and most often connected to a largebalcony, where five large contiguous windows provide primary views to the main courtyard of the house.
In modern terms, the room would be the equivalent of the living room of the house. However, traditional Persian houses were very large and had many rooms. The panjdari was therefore a main daily hub of the inhabitants.
