Âibey Evleri—Nevaz Sayñn says, "We put a rule to ourselves just at the beginning. We was going to make like its been made from years but we were going to make it better. We decided the borders and we let the worker decide how to make it.we tried to find something new in the routine. It was an important factor in the similarizing demand that this house had no distance from the houses surrounding it.
"I don't know what is the difference and similarities but it is like our homes also it isn't. This is the villagers words. This words claim that the idea was successful. In this specialities we think that the house got the point to be a stranger and familiar."
