Vineyard houses, which can be listed among the important components of vernacular architecture, vary in scale due to the effects of socio-economic conditions, geographical conditions and climate. The vineyard houses, which are generally built to live in rural areas for a certain period of time, serve primarily for seasonal short-term housing during periods of agricultural activity, but sometimes serve as storage of agricultural vehicles and products. When we look at the studies on this subject, it is seen that the studies on Karabük-based Safranbolu and Yaz?köy were conducted in the field of human geography and the issue was not considered within the scope of vernacular architecture studies. In this context, the vineyard houses of Bulak Village were first discussed with this study. Bulak Village, which is the subject of our research, is located in the valley separated by a canyon from Safranbolu Ba?lar locality in Karabük Province in the Western Black Sea Region. Bulak Village vineyard houses are examples of local housing culture in a wide area, scattered layout and different plan types. It is possible to define some vineyard houses as short term protection, resting place and warehouse where the grape cultivation is carried out and agricultural activities related to grape cultivation and vegetable and fruit cultivation are carried out. On the other hand, the examples with more developed plan layout have a structure suitable for establishing a living order in the spring and summer seasons. These buildings, where local materials are used, are based on wooden structure. In addition, there is the use of mudbrick and rubble stones.
