The human-object relationship is the goal of the experience that is created in this house, emotions, surprise, curiosity and happiness are all...
The house takes the shape of a right-angled triangle from the context of the surroundings, theshape of the plot, the relationship with the environment, the extension in relation to the terrainand the relationship with the view of the sun.
These also become the main factors of project development.
The triangular shape of the house with theshort sides without openings and the diagonal ribwhich extends lengthwise wants to get the maximum light from east to west and makes eachliving space have the same view. Such a form aims to challenge the creation of clean rectangularspaces within the triangle, which creates an artistic mathematics and geometry, typical of anarchitect’s house.
The point is born in the north, one of the sides of the triangle a clean precast concrete wall withpink shade, which has a single opening in it, inviting youin...which starts to show an atriumwhere inside it grows a decorative tree that receives light from a high hole and shows that thereis life there. This space that creates curiosity, amazes and shortens the way through the stairs toreach the main entrancedoor.
At that moment when the door from the entrance is opened (also this metal pink) you findyourself in the entrance which is raised to a different level from the daily stay. The main part ofthe house is where we all meet.
–Living Room-a whole spacecovered with sliding windows and creating opportunities forconnection from inside to outside. As we went down from the entrance, I can go up to thekitchen, both of these spaces are treated with natural stone floors, unlike the living room withwooden parquet.
In the central position of the whole area of the ground floor is placed a memory of the traditionaldress of the inherited housewife that symbolizes coexistence and love for the family.The kitchenand tables raised on the dislevel from the dailystand coexist as separate as well as integral partsof the whole. The kitchen designed as separate modules and combinations of bold materials andcolors, red, blue, black and stainless steel express the desire for experimentation both in theinterior and in the gastronomy of the family. The table made of solid wood inherited from thepast to which a piece of laminated wood has been added “shper” and colored all in red tends tomake the connection with the past and the present expressing the growth of the family.
The sculptural circular staircase in the middle of the space illuminated by the zenith domecreates a vertical connection to the basement that serves as technical alcoves and a dedicatedspace for spa, fitness and games. It also goes through them toconnect to the upper floor, leadingto a corridor with the bedrooms, utility and a connection that connects directly to the mainentrance.The interior is all treated with leather details that symbolize the family tradition, alegacy from the Saraq family (master horse dressers), with only one type of wood used,industrial laminated wood “shper” which is colored depending from space. Children’s roomswith selected corresponding colors, from which they can be distinguished in the details of thedoor handles and the handles of the cupboards made of leather.
To close with the treatment of the spaces with works of art as a mini family collection, in theliving room there are works by Ibrahim Kodre, Nysret Salihamixhiqi and Rexhep Ferri and in thekitchen we meet the special Adem Kastrati and Pashk Prevathi who are among the pioneers ofcontemporary Albanian painting. , and continuing upstairs in the corridor with Eshref Qahili,Arian Berisha, Fitore Berisha and Shkamb Jaka, and through the rooms Jakup Ferri, FeridMorina and Jeton Gusia also in the basement its a grafitti workart from Tak Qrk.... all of theseinterwoven with the architecture and interior of the house.
And above all the swimming pool which is treated with 1x1cm mosaic as a whole work of art byJakup Ferri with his imagination for his goats and their life and happiness accompanied by otherunderwater creatures and special plants... from which the house is named The Red Goat.
