Traditional living spaces, deeply rooted in cultural heritage and local identity, provide a backdrop for everyday life, fostering a profound sense of belonging and connection with the surrounding environment. Through case studies, site visits and engagement with traditional households, this study examines how architectural features within residential buildings contribute to the creation of a sense of place. By exploring various dimensions of sense of place, including cultural tradition, natural environment and community identity, this research explores the ways in which individuals and communities can enhance their lived environments beyond the confines of physical structures.
