Begova kuća,
within the Velika Odaja
Trebinje, Herzegovina
This large living room, Velika Odaja (ćošak or divanhana), is located on the upper level of the dwelling with the cabinetry (musandera) on the northern side and access from the kamarija through the doorway. The windows that light the space face south to overlook the Trebišnjica River and those windows facing east overlook gardens.
The cabinetry contains open shelves for special objects and closed cupboards to store bedding during the day. The musandera is constructed using wooden framing and lumber elements that are covered with smaller ornamental pieces. (photo 1988)
