It is impossible to understand the “micro-cosmos” of Boysun inhabitants without visiting their houses. The type of architecture, building construction and composition of Boysun houses incarnate age-long traditions. Enclosed by a low fenced space, the dwelling house is built from earthen bricks, somon (clay mixed with straw) and stones. As a general rule the house has an open veranda with carved wooden pillars, a guest room, winter kitchen and bedroom. The interior space of the courtyard is occupied by an orchard, a small flower garden, a small vineyard and a small kitchen garden, watered from an aryk (irrigation ditch) by water from a mountain brook. Alongside of its perimeter are located sheds for livestock, the summer kitchen and household wings. Thick earthen walls are still the best heat-insulation material that stays warm in winter and cool in summer. This is the reason why the roofs are still covered by clay. Particularly interesting is the architecture of highland villages, located as a general rule on multi-storey terraces, so that the roof of one family becomes the yard or veranda of another, so that the whole village is perceived as one huge house, occupying the entire mountain.
