Usually people build their homes accounting for the region, where they live. The architecture of the residential buildings is influenced by the climate, the geographic location and the inherited traditions. People call the traditional living places vernacular architecture. The main premises in the houses are: a room with a fireplace, where much of the time is spent by the family, bedrooms, guest room, storage room, and bathroom. Most of the houses have also an open veranda space to the yard, which we call chardak. The chardak is the place through which the rest of the premises are entered.
