Situated at a desirable location with a view of the lake and mountains, its clients requested a home with modest, introverted appearance. These apparently contradictory parameters were addressed in the form of an obliquely angled courtyard typology that is formed on the slope side by residential wings and low courtyard walls on the side facing the valley. An umbrella-shaped pent roof following the contours of the slope seems to span the entire complex and provokes a multifaceted legibility of the building. On the slope side, the house presents itself to arriving people as a single-storey, plastered point building, while on the valley side, as a two-storey concrete structure with an almost public character.
On invitation of Prof. Jovan Ivanovski, Architect at SCArS and member of the Faculty of Architecture at the State University Ss Kiril and Metodius, we are invited to share our projects and thoughts with an audience in Macedonias capital.
