Andarouni is the private quarters used by women and servants and Birouni is the public quarters mostly used by men.
The courtyard of the main Andarouni has a separate door, Hashti and hallway. The hallway leads to the courtyard via two steps. Rooms in this Andarouni have been built in two stories. This part of the house has a balcony with two stucco columns that have column headers with intricate stucco decorations. The stables located in this part of the house has a ceiling with six arches. The second Andarouni includes one courtyard, an Ab-Anbar (water reservoir) and one room which connects to the courtyard via three steps. The servant’s quarter is attached to this Andarouni.
The main entrance of Lotfi mansion has brickwork decorations and opens to a Hashti (vestibule). A narrow hallway connects this Hashti to the main courtyard.
