Abstract

The house was designed primarily for comfort, and this aspect is one of the most important aspects and one of the most important functions of the house, a job that has been sought by humans since ancient times and imagine in mind and then applied to the ground to ensure the rest and stability. The house is a small space of the general place, which has added a material scope as a kind of cover. But the person who is insatiable cannot separate himself from the outside. He needs external ties. Because life is a transition and requires connections, it is forced to create interruptions within the frame to allow communication between closed block and outer space, and these interruptions allow people to change the place. But also, necessary to ensure the transfer of water, air and light, in other words to secure the essential human needs, as it is believed that the organization of the internal housing and the division of several places would thus create a system between the home and abroad. The house was divided into several rooms, such as reception rooms, living rooms, kitchen ,holly rooms and bathroom, ensuring the comfort it sought. Adding rooms devoted to work to meet his daily needs and provide a source of earning a living.
