This thesis delves into the heart of Ukrainian identity, drawing from personal experiences, cultural insights, and historical context to describe the allure of the mazanka house. I emphasize its role as a sanctuary and a link to the past, offering readers an immersive journey through sensory details and personal memories. Through this work, I aim to foster an appreciation for Ukraine’s rich heritage and to inspire efforts towards preserving these architectural treasures. This research serves as a reminder of the importance of connecting with our roots and cherishing the traditions that define us. My intention is to pay homage to the timeless beauty and deep-rooted values these houses represent, while also advocating for their preservation in the face of modernization and societal changes.
