Abstract
This chapter examines the impact of converting Iranian historic houses into tourist accommodation. Through twelve cases in Kashan, Yazd and Isfahan, it proposes criteria for assessing how well spatial values are preserved. Subdividing halls and roofing over courtyards emerge as the most common harms. Design guidance for owners and designers is provided.
