Traditional houses play a significant role in Turkey’s cultural heritage stock. Nevertheless, social and cultural developments affect the living conditions of individuals and their expectations of living spaces. This circumstance causes issues for traditional houses such as facing random alterations, ignorance of values, abandonment, and in fact demolition. As a precaution to these potential problems, transforming traditional houses to another use can be accepted by considering their values and creating an impact assessment. The town of Taraklı in Sakarya is a traditional settlement with its traditional houses and historic tissue. In Taraklı, many traditional houses have been adapted to contemporary conditions. In this regard, some traditional houses in Taraklı are transformed into hotels. As a result of the rising interest in cultural tourism in Taraklı, more traditional houses are expected to be transformed into hotels soon. However, these interventions for transforming traditional houses into hotels may negatively impact the values of traditional houses. This study aims to assess the impact of changes on the values of traditional Taraklı houses during their transformation into hotels. The scope of the study is the traditional Taraklı houses that were transformed into hotels. The main focus is to understand changes in their architectural layout and their effect on values during the transformation processes.
