Arabati Baba Teќe (tekke)
Konak with čardak
Tetovo, Macedonia
The outer corner of the chardak is a raised platform that overlooks the teќe grounds. The glazed elements are a modern imposition. This view highlights the construction of the chardak and overhanging roof, articulated by the repetitions of posts, beams, brackets, rafters, railings spindle balusters and other wooden elements. The extended roof ensures shade throughout the hot summer days.
