Bottle house of Ganja

Bottle house of Ganja, Residential building made of bottles in Ganja, Azerbaijan.

The Bottle House is a two-story private residence in Ganja whose walls are built from about 48,000 glass bottles of different shapes and sizes, from champagne bottles to small medicine vials, set with colorful stones brought from Sochi. The year of construction is written on the front porch wall, and a large portrait of Yusif Jafarov is drawn under the roof overhang at the front.

Ibrahim Jafarov built the house in 1966–1967 for his brother Yusif, who went missing at age 26 during World War II. He hoped Yusif would hear of the house and return. The two-storey residence used 48,000 bottles, from champagne bottles to small medicine vials, and was later renovated.

The walls display the name Ganja through bottle arrangements alongside a portrait of Yusif Jafarov. Visitors can see how the owner wove personal memory and local identity directly into the building's decoration.

The house is located at the intersection of Huseyn Javid and Gambar Huseynli Streets and remains visible from the outside as a private residence. Visitors can view the facade from the street and photograph the bottle arrangements from various angles.

The bottles are mixed with colored stones from Sochi, creating patterns that reflect sunlight throughout the day. This combination of recycled glass and imported stone creates visual depth that shifts with the time of day and light conditions.
