The House No. 2

The former residence, now an auxiliary building, was constructed according
to the same principles as other residential buildings in the area. The structure
is defined by a perimeter stone wall approximately 150 cm wide and 100 cm
high, built as a drywall with stone elements partially bonded with a mixture of
clay and grass. The central area of the room contains two soha that support the
roof structure’s central beam. The roof was constructed conventionally: large
branches were placed atop the wooden framework, followed by smaller ones.
These layers were stacked up to the roof covering, which originally consisted
of bundled grass (now replaced by nylon). Although the building is in poor
condition, it currently serves as a barn.
