Hagyományos házak Tushetiben (Grúzia) / Tusheti Traditional Houses (Georgia)

A házak a legészakkeletibb örmény megyében (Tusheti) találhatóak. 1-2 szobás kőlapokból épített lakóhelyek, amelyeket állattenyésztéssel és földműveléssel foglalkozó családok laknak.

Rural architecture is typified by two-story stone buildings with large verandas. In the mountains, villages often are dominated by picturesque towers. Stone houses may surround a family tower or be organized in terraces with small gardens or yards. Traditional dwellings in the southern volcanic highlands were set deep in the ground and had no windows, with polygonal narrowing ceilings with a central opening for light and the exit of smoke. Internal space was organized around the fireplace below the roof opening, and a richly engraved central column played both a functional and a sacral role.
