    In this paper vernacular architecture is explored through the aspect of contemporary aesthetics. The research is focused on the environmental aesthetics as the part of contemporary aesthetics. Recent ... development of this aesthetics% field, which considers environment, provides new possibilities to examine the vernacular architecture with the contemporary approach. The subjects of study are singlefamily dwellings. The selection comprised two regional types of vernacular Balkan architecture, emerging in completely different historical contexts, natural and morphological characteristics of the terrain, and climatic conditions: the lowland house (in the northern Serbian province of Vojvodina) and the highland lake house (in the Ohrid region). The research includes contemporary aesthetic interpretation of the vernacular architecture context of particular region. The question of context, as the basic parameter of vernacular architecture is considered. The comparative analysis of the elements of the context is elaborated for chosen representatives of vernacular architecture. The intuitive approach to the process of design and creation of the buildings of vernacular architecture evidently implement elements of context in a process of building generation as well as in generation of the environment itself. In effort to follow these principles, vernacular architecture carries logic and harmony in entity and details, evident aesthetic meaning and need for its expression. Elements of context and aesthetics characteristics have been analyzed, both as a consequence of harmonious relation of the object and the environment. The research has shown that each context element, considered in case of two diametrically different types of houses, essentially is conditioned by the same context factor: natural, socio-cultural, historical, and economical. Derived methodology is applicable to the investigation of aesthetic characteristics of any vernacular building.
