The transformation of the construction mode and structural change in houses' physical characteristics in the past decade has changed the overall shape and, thus, Barzok's townscape. Barzok is a mountainous habitat in the South West of the city of Kashan. In the early 2000th in the country divisions, it became the town, but it retains its rural figures and has not been immune from these changes. The new town's landscape does not harmonize with the region's natural landscape, identity, or culture. To avoid changing the authentic rural landscape, first need to understand the original samples available and, most importantly, the historic houses. ‌‌‌‌‌‌‌Barzok consists of ‌‌‌‌‌‌‌seven neighborhoods; ‌‌‌‌‌‌‌in Mosalla neighborhood ‌‌‌‌‌‌‌and Qalʿeh hill's edges ‌‌‌‌‌‌‌as ‌‌‌‌‌‌‌the ‌‌‌‌‌‌oldest ‌‌‌‌‌‌‌ residential nucleus of Barzok, examples remain‌‌‌‌‌‌‌. ‌‌‌‌‌‌‌The current article aims to answer the ‌‌‌‌‌‌‌question ‌‌‌‌‌‌‌what are the characteristics of the houses in the mentioned area and what kind of organization do they have? ‌‌‌‌‌‌‌This research ‌‌‌‌‌‌‌has been done based on the interpretive - ‌‌‌‌‌‌‌historical ‌‌‌‌‌‌‌ method‌‌‌‌‌‌‌. Based on the field studies‌‌‌‌‌‌‌, sample documentation is taken, ‌‌‌‌‌‌ and part of the information is collected based on interviews with local informants. In addition to documentation and the introduction of some selected samples and explanation of the spatial organization of them, the results show that the neighborhood's houses are very similar to each other in terms of materials and method of construction and the formation and development. As a result, there is a natural harmony between the town's landscape and the natural context and environment. Besides, residential units' spaces are placed in general compositions that play a wide role in the coordination, as mentioned earlier.
