Bosnian Chardaklia House: The Bugilovic Family House in Gornja Tuzla

In the wide variety of architectural programs of the traditional architecture of Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Bosnian Chardaklia House occupies a prominent place. 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. Built from natural materials taken on site, carefully situated in the natural environment, designed according to the conditions of the natural environment, this house is an example of bioclimatic architecture. In the wide range of her architectural-spatial solutions, her most developed type anticipates the “family in its growth and development“, from numerous “nuclear“ families to several families "under one roof" derived from the nuclear family. The Bugilovic family house in Gornja Tuzla, in terms of its spatial organization and equipment, is a transitional form of the Bosnian čardaklia house towards an oriental-type city house in Bosnia and Herzegovina, just as Gornja Tuzla is a transition from a rural to an urban settlement.
