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.
