A building should GROW from its site as Nature grows: from the inside out, and shaped by the forces which surround it. A building is not to be located on the top of a hill, but it should located in the hill, to live together with it. Germia, together with its park, which presents a unique natural resource, is located in the north of Prishtina city, in a height of 680690m in the selected location. The landscape of Germia is engraved by hills and valleys covered with trees and verdure. The poets speak about “the hell” of metropolis, while other for “the stupidity” of living in countrysidein nature. As biggest is a city, the smallest is the sky above it, less nature, flowers, increasingly smoke, concrete, technique, less personalities we are, increasingly we are falling in to mass.

The poetry of form is for organic architecture as the leaves for a tree, blooming for plants or as flesh is for body.

ARCHITECTURE ORGANIC An essential aspect of creativity is not being afraid to fail. Dr. Edwin Land The organic “The solution of every problem is contained within itself, its plan, form and character are determined by the nature of the site, the nature of the materials used, the nature of the system using them, the nature of the life concerned and the purpose of the building itself” (Frank Lloyd Wright) Organics in Architecture means “Part is to part as part is to whole” The concept for villa's architecture is selected to be the organic, hence this architecture returns to nature itself, bringing a strong synergism between the location and the building itself, which develops from the theory of waves, like a flowing water from its source, spreading through terrain' morphology, like musical notes of a symphony. No form of Nature is inferior to Art; for the arts merely imitate natural forms. Marcus Aurelius Antonius

“Wondering is intention toward knowledge”

INSOLATION ANALYSIS
Allah is the Light of the heavens and the earth. The Parable of His Light is as if there were a Niche and within it a Lamp: the Lamp enclosed in Glass: the glass as it were a brilliant star: Lit from a blessed Tree, an Olive, neither of the east nor of the west, whose oil is wellnigh luminous, though fire scarce touched it: Light upon Light! Allah doth guide whom He will to His Light: Allah doth set forth Parables for men: and Allah doth know all things. (Kur'an, En-Nur, 35)

“A single sunbeam is enough to drive away many shadows”
Man is unhappy because he is ignorant of nature. Paul-Henri Holbach There's no doubt, that one of great blessings which has been given to us is the sunlight under which we live. Living in a period where energy is very difficult to be obtained, hence in other hand its use is increased dramatically high, we should be much more consequent on using alternative energy sources which nature gave to us – sunlight. Living room which goes two stories is oriented toward north side with its “spider” glass façade covering its entire front and a ventilation system on the top of this façade which serves as a regulator of temperature for both summer and winter. The sunshine gets deep inside the room during the utmost part of the day, while during the characteristic periods of the year, solstices and equinoxes it achieves the greatest coverage of the interior with sunshine.
