Apartment H

EN

Apartment H is a comfortable and spacious living space for two people in the capital of Albania, Tirana. The apartment is conceived as an open space, with living, cooking, wardrobe and sleeping spaces half-open to each other, with the possibility of closure thanks to the movable panels.
Only the perimeter of the apartment stays fixed, while its interior is built as furniture with openings and closings, allowing clean, uniform and minimal wall pages. Almost all surfaces have light and calm colors, while the black ceiling contrasts the rest of the interior, increasing the framing of spacious spaces and making them warmer and more intimate.
The itineraries of movement inside the apartment are numerous. Viewing angles are rich. The presence of quality and time-resistant materials, together with the light aesthetics and the organized emptiness, make the environment not only cozy, but also luxurious in the sense of the enjoyment of the space.

 

AL

Apartamenti H është një hapësire komode dhe e bollshme për jetesën e dy personave në kryeqytet. Apartamenti është konceptuar si open space, me hapësirat e qëndrimit, gatimit, garderobës dhe gjumit gjysmë të hapura me njëra-tjetren, me mundësine e mbylljes falë paneleve të levizshme.
Vetëm perimetri i apartamentit qëndron fiks, ndërsa brendesia e tij është konceptuar dhe realizuar si mobilje me hapje dhe mbyllje, duke lejuar faqe muri të pastra, uniforme dhe minimale. Nëse thuajse të gjitha sipërfaqet janë me ngjyra të hapura dhe të qeta, tavani kontraston pjesën tjetër të interierit, duke kornizuar hapësirat e bollshme dhe duke i berë më të ngrohta dhe intime.
Itineraret e levizjes brenda apartamentit janë të shumta. Këndet e shikimit janë të pasura dhe të shumëllojshme. Prania e materialeve cilësore dhe rezistente në kohë, së bashku me estetikën e lehtë dhe boshin e organizuar, e bejnë ambjentin jo vetëm komod, por edhe luksoz në sensin e shijimit të hapësirës.

VACATION HOME

EN

This is a traditional looking summer home with a splash of contemporary design. The request from the client was to have a cosy summer house to fit in the stone surrounding context of the old village of Piqeras in southern Albania. This was achieved by creating a traditional looking house cladded in natural stone. The ground floor of the house has a concrete block going through it which reminds viewers that this is a new home none the less. The top floor continues in stone and ends in a pitched roof.

The interior is divided into 2 floors with a connecting staircase in the middle. The ground floor has 3 bedrooms and a communal space which will usually function as an AIRBNB. This is why all bedrooms are en-suite. The upper floor is organised like a family apartment with a small balcony. The house also makes use of the surrounding garden enclosed by a stone wall. A narrow swimming pool is placed on one of the sides.

THE VILLA OF MR. X

BEFORE AND AFTER

THE VILLA OF MR. X

Villa 31 is an unassuming, if somewhat large modern residence built in the late seventies with an ample garden in a quiet but dense residential district in Tirana. The interiors of the house are well equipped and extensively furnished. The interior is filled with hand-crafted built-in clos­ets, imported Austrian furniture, Italian designed bathrooms and kitchens, an elevator, a decora­tive spiral staircase, a small swimming pool, and large picture windows throughout. Villa 31 was also provided with ac­cess to hardened underground bunkers from the basement.

Construction documents prepared by the architects for this new resi­dence drawn up in the early sev­enties refer to the original project with the single alphabetical letter “x.” This structure was specifi­cally designed for Enver Hoxha and his family. “x” also represents the mark of censorship, a fitting symbol for what would be­come Hoxha’s difficult historical legacy: Hoxha’s sweeping political and ideological reforms were largely responsible for pushing the nation into deep economic and cultural isolation. Hoxha’s private family home reflected his public char­ismatic posing a difficult challenge for those concerned with opening the dictator’s residen­tial quarters to the public today. How—after de­cades during which Villa 31 has been closed to the public—does one interpret and put on dis­play the intimate interiors deeply imprinted by Hoxha’s domestic body politic?

Left as is, or with little modification, Hoxha’s house would certainly risk becom­ing a sort of latter day mausoleum to the man and his dictatorship. Nor would the sensitive preservation of the house in the name of Hoxha’s victims contribute much to the edu­cation of today’s Albanians and their children. After all, there are many sites across the nation where curi­ous nationals, foreign tourists and concerned educators can see first-hand the traumatic environments where generations of Albanians were locked up, tortured and dispensed in whatever manner Hox­ha, as supreme leader, saw fit. There is also the great risk the house would appear as if its origi­nal inhabitant lived inured to the outside world in an island of tranquility, untouched by world around him.

Ai Weiwei, the Chinese artist who is no stranger to his own government’s repressive politics, chal­lenges through his art the highly undemocratic practices of a state with little concern for hu­man rights. Ai Weiwei’s frequent confrontations with Chinese authority has led the artist to find alternative forms of protest through the use of veiled metaphors, expressing political dissent through physical action, critically reevaluating historical artifacts, and questioning the re­ception of contemporary material culture in Chinese society. “Artists are not in a position to decide the conditions imposed upon them,” noted Ai Weiwei, “…but they can make statements about those con­ditions.” Ai Weiwei understands clearly the necessity to confront the demons of the past and pres­ent by working on the metamorphosis of objects and their potential for political reification.

Earlier examples of works by artist activists like Hans Haacke’s “Germania,” made specifically in consideration of the German Pavilion at the 1993 Art Biennale in Venice have set strong prece­dents for physically intervening on architecture where historical events have left troubling traces of the past. Haacke’s calculated destruction of the Nazi led renovation of the pavilion, by tak­ing a jackhammer to the floor and leaving bro­ken stones paving blocks scattered across the floor in chaotic disarray, revealed longstanding layers of buried and ignored history.

Villa 31 has been a residential mi­crocosm frozen in time. Inaccessible then, and still inaccessible now, the house and its troubled history should find renewed purpose, by confront­ing past and present, former regime and nascent democracy. Hoxha’s house cannot be simply preserved, opened and displayed without ac­tively engaging each and every room, one by one. From the gardens to the bunkers, from the living rooms to the swimming pool, the house’s many spaces should be documented, questioned and debat­ed. Citizens and visitors alike should have the chance to be part of and witness to how symbols of power can be engaged, challenged, and re-imagined.

A forbidden zone and a villa for Mr. X

Brasini set a strict South-North axis, which seem to put forth the difference between the eastern part of the city, where the location is spontane­ous and more folk like, to the other part of the city in its South-West side. The influence that Ital­ian architecture had on the Albanian landscape will be enhanced in the period between the two world wars, especially with the projects realized by G. Bossios. The rational application of Italian architecture, with perpendicular axes and well defined plots, was easy accommodate in the ur­ban plan of Tirana in this part of the city. The values of this zone are formed through the needs for housing for the members of Italian military as well as civil servants.

During the dictatorship, this area was inhabited by the elite political leading class as well as their fami­lies. For the above reason it was called “ Bllok” (The Block). Resi­dential villas are characteristic to this part of town that was inhabited by political leader, such as the late dictator Enver Hoxha.

Due to the importance of its inhab­itants the block of villas was iso­lated from the rest of the city, where simple peo­ple leaved and the isolation can be seen in the physical distance as well as in the economical one. In the heart of The Block, there is Villa 31, the house of Mr.X. The axes to the Block area was restricted in three different levels of acces­sibility.

Several pathways were not open to the general public. Common people could get in and out of the restricted zone with an invitation from some­one living in The Block, while would be all the time under constant surveillance and would have to hand in their ID as well. These itineraries are divided in two accessibility levels. The one that used the family members of the political bureau and the other one was utilized only by the politi­cal leader. In Mr.X villa’s Enver Hoxha would use the front entrance while his family would use the other entrance, because the street in front of the villa was reserved only for the political leaders.

The villa in itself is divided in the three different stages. The first stage is the Eastern part and was built before World War II and it is not included in this study. The vil­la belonged to an Italian engineer, Berlotti and it is one of the few villas that has preserved the architecton­ic elements. It is a three store villa with basement as well. The entrance to the villa is preceded by a white marble staircase a white marble staircase and a portico that serves as a porch. The portico is formed by columns, formed with stone tiles, that go up until the roof. In the 1970s was build the new villa with a roof. Enver Hoxha decide to have his family in the villa as well. Thus, the villa was expanded with various apartments dedicat­ed to its family and children, that is why the villa has multiple bedrooms or kitchens.

The Villa as an open project

Our proposal is to transform Villa 31 during one year. The time that is necessary to physically transform the Villa will coincide with the time of the symbolical transforma­tion. At the end of this process the Villa will not be the same as before.

The program of the cultural activities consist of the trans­formations that will allow Villa 31 to become a public space for Tirana.

The intentions of this project is to test the possibilities of such a new and extraordinary cultural device, despite the difficulty in giving to the house of the ex-dictator an exact function and definition. For those reasons we did not want to set boundaries for the possible activities that the Villa could host. That is why Villa 31 will be a project rather than an institution.

Villa 31 will be a place where different humanistic disci­plines can find expression: literature, philosophy, history, religion, philology, visual arts and performative arts.

All those cultural activities that have been censored dur­ing the dictatorship will become the engine of the physi­cal transformation. Those transformations will represent an occasion for art expression. The sum of events will slowly lead to a new condition of the building.

The first action consist of showing to the Albanians the interior and its mystery. Nowadays Villa 31 is an inacces­sible place, with no links to the city of Tirana and its citi­zens. The idea is to organize a big opening where artists are invited to celebrate this first collective occurrence.

The artists are invited to realize some interventions that will represent on one way the solutions for the house ac­cessibility, on the another way the aim of this event to be visible.

– a “derive urbaine” that will lead the citizens trough the streets of the district in the garden that hosts Villa 31;

– a ramp that will allow the accessibility to the house;

– a neon sign;

– an opening party;

OnceVilla31isdefinitelyopenandaccessible, it is neces­sary to activate functions that are capable to constantly attract the citizens inside the Villa. The idea is to trans­form all those activities that represented the private do­main of the dictator into public activities.

It will be possible to understand the private universe of the dictator by analyzing the program of the Villa. This universe will become a diversified system of activities for the citizens.

– a pool;

– a club;

– a cinema;

– a public library;

– an exhibition hall;

After this “wake-up moment” it will be possible to start a process of memories reactivation. Exhibitions and con­ferences on history of communism, about the dictator’s life and about the history of Villa 31 will be held.

– communism symposium;

– dictator’s life exhibition;

– Villa 31 exhibition;

– The dictatorial regime style in furniture and design;

The last phase of the project consist of the realization of those services that allows the permanent transformation of the Villa into a suitable space for art.

– coffee shop;

– bookshop;

Finally the garden will become part of the city to close the transformation process. The hypothesis is to open the garden permanently and to transform it into an equipped public space.

– fences transformation;

Additionally, our proposal consist of a small housing unit located in the garden, that can allow the artist to spend a period of time in the Villa. Through this intervention we transmit the idea of showing constantly what is happen­ing inside the Villa by showing the life of who is working there: the artist.

– artist’s housing unit;

 

Before and After

The project in 10 points

  1. Villa 31 opens its doors. It opens immediately. It is time to let its interiors become public, it is time to reveal its mystery.
  2. The first event that will be organized in Villa 31 is the opening itself. It will be a public event which will envolve the entire district as first manifestation of this “new presence” in the town.
  3. Every change or transformation realized in Villa 31 will be an art intervention. Those interventions are tem­porary or permanent: exhibitions, installations, book­shops, coffeeshops, performances and concerts.
  4. The program of the transformations Villa 31 will co­incide with the artistic activities.All the funds that are dedicated to cultural activities are the engine of the physical transformations of Villa 31 themselves.
  5. Villa 31 will not become a gallery, neither a museum or a foundation. It will not become a residence for art­ists, a cultural center or an history archive. Villa 31 will transform into a public space for Tirana.
  6. Villa 31 will become accessible, an open and demo­cratic space.New ramps will connect the levels, the ele­vators will follow legal standards to guarantee the mo­bility throughout the entire building. Some of the walls will be demolished to erase separations.
  7. Villa 31 will be preserved. Its presence and its mean­ing will not be erased. The spaces, the rooms, the furni­ture, the materials and colors will be the fundamental elements of the new reflexion.
  8. There will be a clandestine club in the ex-cinema at the underground level. Aquagym classes in the pool, chamber music in the dictator’s sleeping room, an el­egant bar in one of the living rooms.
  9. Every private space of the dictator’s house will be transformed by an artist into a public space for the visi­tors. Every transformation will be a public event.
  10. The garden of Villa 31 will become another place for activities. There will be events organized all summer long: concerts, picnics and installations. A small housing unit, a capsule, will be built to host the artists that are invited. Nobody will live in the dictator’s house. Villa 31 will never be a house anymore.

The Villa: structural features and new accessibilities

The Villa 31 consists of two building units that are built in two different time periods. The first part was built in the 1930s and the second part during 1970s, which later on during 1974 it was extended to fit the family of the late dictator. The villa is well maintained and the construction with all the elements is maintained. It can be clearly that the villa represents a building in a good condition.

The construction of the villa is mostly based on col­umns, bearing walls are placed were statically needed like stair halls etc. In this way the building has large openings, which were appropriate for modern archi­tecture at that time. Some traditional architectural ele­ments and local materials complete the concept of this part of the building.

Our team’s research of the building is based on an on-location visit as well as using existing plans and other data and a lot of other information, which were pro­vided by the local team. Reinforced concrete is the basic material of which the main construction of the building consists. In the basement the weight bearing walls are numerous and strongly visible, which explains the small openings and thickness of the walls. There were gath­ered a lot of material from different sights before plan­ning and proposing the intervention in the villa. From the on-location visit there were a lot to be learned, especially since the villa was “taboo” for the eye of the common people for a very long time.

Various approaches were considered, in order to pre­serve the heritage and the collective memory that this villa represents. The basement of the villa will not ex­perience any drastic remodeling. After consulting our construction engineers and experts for reinforcement systems we decided to not touch anything in the base­ment because it is clear that these walls are weight bearing walls. The different functions of the rooms will be chosen and decided between the spaces that al­ready exist. Hence the basement needs a renovation touch. From the investigation of the basement and how better to intervene, it is proposed the renovation of the floor and the renovation of the interior.

The ground floor of the villa is very different from the basement in how it is constructed. In the first floor there are no weight bearing walls. The weights is distributed though the columns. Thus the space is clear and open to make interventions.

The first and the second floor, which are the extended part of the villa, are much like the ground floor. The con­struction is the same, with large open space, and it is reinforced with concrete columns. The changes that are proposed in this floors are minimal. For instance, to de­molish separating walls in order to create a space that can be tailored according to the event. The changes in this space can be part of an event, rather than be the common working site where no one is present. Chang­ing the villa of the late dictator is more than a dull or routine implementation of an architecture project. The public will be as much involved in this change, for the symbolic value that this villa has.

BAR BRISTOL

EN

The area is located on “Ded Gjo Luli” street in front of the National Museum of History. The existing design consists of outdoor and indoor spaces. The inside is divided into two other spaces, the counter part, and the more intimate space at the top floor. The proposed project for the interior of the bar aims to increase the internal capacity, as well as to improve access and use on the outside. A new bar has been proposed according to standard dimensions to facilitate circulation and improve existing spaces, proposing new services. On the ground floor we can find the bar counter, as well as new seating elements and tables with longitudinal elements that enhance the interiors verticality. Also, the existing scale has been expanded, which is the difference in level between the counter space and the outside space. The existing greenery has been preserved in the upper part of the environment and the element of greenery has been further treated, both below and above. A study space has been added, facing the main glass facade that looks over the Museum, as well as armchairs to sit in a simple composition, preserving the spaces for circulation. The upper part contains a more intimate part of the whole environment, accompanied by more special lighting. The outside maintains its initial function, with the added value of now also offering and displaying food for the costumers.
