The paper aims to analyze and evaluate the most common construction interventions in the reconstruction
of residential buildings in the Slovak rural built environment, which point to what the users themselves
are undergoing more fundamental modernization in vernacular architecture and how it is implemented.
The text analyses the current housing needs and economic decision-making factors, which often do not
take into account the preservation of cultural heritage and elements of regional identity, but reflect the
current socio-economic situation in Slovakia. Most of the original vernacular architecture is not protected
by the state institution for preservation of monuments. These objects are transformed by significant, often
insensitive reconstructions or even demolished and substituted by contemporary buildings designed
without local context, but according to the socio-economic situation and performance comfort needs.
What are these most usual building and functional changes – adaptations and transformations of housing
objects and their interiors?
The text contains the results of qualitative research in 3 selected localities – Záhorská Bystrica, Hrušov
(Hont region) and Štrba, which underwent a transformation that was mapped during field research of the
Identity SK project and then compared with the state up to the mid-1950s that was analyzed in the archive
of the Slovak National Museum in Martin. The contemporary state – form and volume of the construction
modifications of the exterior and interior and their causes were recorded and examined in more depth.
This analysis can be used to better guide professionals and owners/users in the adaptation of objects of
vernacular architecture for contemporary housing while maintaining the regional identity and supporting
the authenticity and authenticity of the particular region that can support conscious tourism as part of
regional development and socio-cultural sustainability.
Keywords: vernacular architecture, reconstruction, adaptation, regional development, comfort,
