Abstract

The paper explores the impact of location on the architectural form of family corner houses built during the interwar period and designed in the spirit of modernism. The specificity of a corner house's design lies in its conditioning by its urban position; on the other hand, a corner location demands that the house stands out as a landmark within the urban fabric and visual corridors. The research takes into account houses situated on the street regulation line. Based on analyzed examples of single-family corner houses in Banja Luka, the study investigates how the architectural solution is conditioned by the building's position, as well as the relationship between function and form.
