Kula traditional residences reflect the architectural features of the “Turkish House” or the “Ottoman House” with its location in the center of Anatolia. The buildings were built from the beginning of the 17th century until the beginning of the 20th century. However, the traditional architecture of the process from the late 18th to the early 20th century has reached today. When looking at the traditional houses in Anatolia in terms of planning architectural elements, it can be said that two basic elements are at the forefront.
