Plan Type with Inner Sofa:

It is a plan type that emerged in the third phase of plan development. In this plan type, rooms on both sides of the sofa lined up, the sofa remained inside. For this reason, it is also called the "karniyarik" plan type. This plan type is the most common type of Turkish House. This plan type, which became evident in the 18th century, became widespread in the 19th century. The increase in the number of plan type rooms with inner sofas, the adjacent rooms Thanks to the reduction of the walls, it has become a preferred plan type because it is an economical and healthy plan type.
