Summary/Abstract: The starting question is the enduring interaction between residents who affect the appearance and the use of the living space by their style of life and culture, and a given living space which, by its architectural design, partly influences the way of life within it That problem was a starting point of research carried out from 1981 to 1985 in the village Sošice, Croatia. It has been shown that changes exist in the design of family houses built between 1895 and 1975. Those changes have been compared to changes which have occurred in the same period in the function and equipment of particular living units and parts of the house, as well as to the living habits and living standards of the residents.
