House of Nikola Kodić

To the south of the Church of “Saint Nikolla”, at the intersection of “Dubrovniku” Street and “Old Janjevë/Janjevo” street is the irregular plot of the Kodić family, where there are two residential buildings with a courtyard in between. Based on the typology, materials and construction technique, the houses are supposed to have been built in the 19th century. The house belongs to the Kodić family, namely Nikola Kodić, who left Janjevë/Janjevo in 1993-1994. In the external aspect, there is a linear architectural treatment, where the front facade is emphasized, which has a small width compared to its height. The linear facade is given dynamism by two window openings and a door, which are irregularly placed on the ground and first floor. The ground floor window is closed with a wooden cover, while the one on the first floor has a rectangular wooden frame, where the horizontal partition is decorated with a regular geometric shape. Such frames date from the beginning of the 20th century, transforming it to the one of the main reference points of Janjevë/Janjevo.
