The Bosnian chardaklia is one of the most authentic achievements of traditional architecture in Bosnia and Herzegovina. As a residential building, it most fully reflects the housing culture of the Bosnian-Herzegovinian man, and his overall view of the world. The Bosnian house of čardaklija reached its classical stage of development in the 18th century, and the solutions reached will be maintained during the 19th and 20th centuries, in some places until today.Unlike the town hall (which in Bosnia and Herzegovina, similarly elsewhere in the world, was generated with more or less pronounced influences of other cultures), the Bosnian chardaklia house very directly reflects the natural environment of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the social environment (socio-economic relations, philosophy , religion, morals ...). Bosnia and Herzegovina is rich in forests, and this fact is directly reflected in the generation of the spatial concept of the house, its construction and materialization, where wood plays a key role. The application of wood in the creation of the Bosnian chardaklia house can be threatened by designing all its essential elements: foundations, walls, mezzanine structures, stairs, roofs, elements of openings (doors and windows) to surface treatment, both in the interior and exterior. The house of the Zaimovic family in Gornji Zovik near Brcko is an example of a Bosnian house of čardaklija whose owners are rich landowners (beys). The house presented here is part of a former residential complex consisting of several housing units: a house for male family members (selamluk), houses for female family members (haremluk-object presented here), guest houses (musafirhana), service houses and guards complex, fortified tower (watchtower). There are also a number of utilitarian facilities: two mills, a stable for horses, a well.
