TEXTURE & ARCHITECTURE OF THE FAMILY HOUSE
Architectural expression of many family houses is based on the texture of the volume surface, on the fabric of the facade and visible roof. On the both vernacular and contemporary Croatian family houses, the basic characteristic would be shown. While the vernacular examples are giving the information of the area where location is, newer examples with new materials are universal (abstract) and "rootless". Sometimes, texture divides the feeling of (historic) romanticism and (modern) "rationalism".
