Bosnia and Herzegovina is a multi-ethnic and multicultural country where the three most numerous nations (Bosniaks, Serbs and Croats) and a large number of national minorities live. Thanks to its geographical position, it had a turbulent history in which the pressures of East and West, North and South collided. The Bosnian chardaklia house is the most valuable example of vernacular architecture in Bosnia and Herzegovina, characteristic of all its peoples. Cehaje is a village in the immediate vicinity of the Srebrenik town (Geographic coordinates: 44º43'01.31''N, 18º29'36.86''E, Elevation: 216 m). The Smajlovic family house was built in the middle of the 19th century on a west-facing slope, about 1 km northeast of the center of Srebrenik. From the time of construction to the present day, the house has undergone several constructions and adaptations, but its original values have been preserved. The Smajlovic family house in Cehaje near Srebrenik, according to the disposition of its horizontal plans, belongs to the three-section Bosnian chardaklia house, with the specifics of the house in the northern and northeastern part of Bosnia and Herzegovina. In the vertical plan, the house is developed through the basement, ground floor and first floor. This house has many similarities with the Osmic family house in Mala Brijesnica near Gracanica and with the Mara Popovic house in Gracanica.
