Responding to the nature and climate of its locality, the Elshani House has a simple, open and contemporary form constructed with locally available materials, red brick and exposed concrete, using local building methods. Built on a slope, the house is comprised of two blocks and has three levels in total. The generous interior is open and has a spatial continuity, with load bearing elements placed so that they do not obstruct the sense of openness, and south-facing windows that draw in warmth and provide views of the Shar mountains.
