Tirana Business Centre

“Tirana Business Center” was designed to achieve a balanced outcome between functionality, adaptability, and the quality of the interior environment, while also complementing its unique volumetric configuration in relation to the surrounding environment. The area encompasses two and three-story service buildings, including the large TEG shopping center. The building’s location faces TEG, as well as in accordance with Tirana’s regulatory plan, was favorable for the proposed commercial function. The structure is strategically positioned and easily accessible, with direct access from “Rruga e Vilave” on the northwestern side and “Ligatat Road” on the southeastern side. The building stands out for its rational and contemporary composition. It spans two floors above ground with a maximum height of 11 meters and one underground parking level. Several variables, including function, spatial distribution, and site layout and orientation, contributed to its final volumetric configuration. The building’s volume is conceived as a composition of several cubes arranged along the central axis of the building, with longitudinal extensions separated by recessed strips of glazed side facades facing east and west. The front cube, featuring a large two-story portico roof, houses the main entrance parallel to “Rruga e Vilave.” Two entrances lead to the interior of the building, with the main entrance located on the northwestern orientation and the exit at the rear. The modular spatial presentation accommodates flexibility, allowing the interior to adapt to future functional changes. The design creates a rhythmic transition from the exterior to the interior spaces by using black colors, wood texture and concrete.
