Bosnian Chardaklia House: The Kapetanovic Family House 01 in Jajce

The Bosnian chardaklia house occupies a prominent place in the wide variety of architectural programs of the traditional architecture of Bosnia and Herzegovina. With regard to its spatial organization, construction, materialization and equipment of its interior spaces, the Bosnian chardaklia house is the most authentic expression of the natural and social environment of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the complex phenomenon of its man and his primary social community - the family. The house of the Kapetanovic family 01 in Jajce (also: Krslak's kuca 01) is located on a steep and rocky terrain in the Old Jajce Town (Geographic coordinates: 44º20'26.43''N, 17º16'17.62''E, Elevation: 389 m), (Figures 1,2,3). The facility is accessed via a rather steep cobbled street, with the possibility of vehicle access. Although there is no reliable information about the time of construction of the building, according to its physiognomy and known disposition, it can be said with confidence that the building was built at the end of the 18th century and that it belonged to an oriental-type town house with the specifics of the city of Jajce
