Throughout history, humans have always needed a reliable shelter against natural elements and wild animals, striving to create comfortable dwellings for themselves. The evolution of human habitation unfolded alongside the development of society, economy, and socio-economic relations. The architecture of dwellings reflects the intricate structure of natural-scientific and engineering thought. Utilizing the natural landscape and abundant building materials available in close proximity to the settlement, the ancient builders of the Toksanbai settlement erected structures that conformed to all necessary safety requirements. These constructions took into consideration the climatic characteristics of the region, as well as the economic and human resources, and technological advancements of the era. As a result of extensive research on Bronze Age settlements in the Northeastern Caspian region, remnants of structures were identified, and the study of their structural features formed the basis of this work. This article presents the reconstruction of dwelling No. 2 in the Toksanbai settlement as a result of three-dimensional modeling. The article provides an archaeological description of the reconstruction object, discusses the construction materials used, analyzes the techniques of building the dwelling, elements of the structures, the shape and size of the pit, the system of placement of post holes, and roofing techniques. To create a three-dimensional reconstruction of the dwelling, Blender software was used.
