The vision of the “Family Medicine Center” was developed aiming to create a building with a powerful presence and contemporary architecture. The use of strong
and easily maintainable materials is an important aspect of the project. The aim of the project is to provide
a structure that dominates the location and serves as a
reference not only for architecture, but also for public
health services.
Organizing the facility with a large lobby that is open to
the outside and has controlled access to the interior is a
smart and convenient choice. The contemporary architecture of the building presents a unique treatment of
the facades, combining clean volumes and sharp contrasts to help create a strong and attractive presence for
the building.

is important for public institutions. This project combines
function, design and a responsible approach to the environment and community.
“Family Medicine Center” represents an important contribution to healthcare and the health infrastructure of
Kosovo. At a time when health services have encountered challenges and displacement of medical personnel, the construction of such a facility is important
and has a visible impact on the improvement of health
conditions as an example carried by the experiences of
international cooperation in the field of health and architecture.
