As an environment where a person lives and grows from the beginning of her birth until her human behavior is formed, the house is very important in the affairs of human life and is considered an effective factor in human behavior. On the other hand, the rich culture of Islamic Iran and its architectural symbols in this land, along with the compatibility of that architecture with the nature of our country and its existing climatic conditions, doubles the need for Iranian architecture to respond to the material and spiritual needs of users. Therefore, the need to pay attention to the matter of house building requires that by examining the distinct patterns of desirable traditional housing in Iran, and especially the native housing specific to Kashan city, we can find suitable teachings for the house. According to the conducted research, it can be assumed that by using the mentioned patterns and adapting these patterns to the needs of the contemporary society, a sustainable residential design can be achieved in the city of Kashan. The present research method was to find out the design principles of sustainable houses in Kashan with the approach of recognizing and using the existing valuable models of traditional architecture in the hot and dry climate of Iran.
