SHOWROOM VIP SALOTI
Work Projects | Exterior Projects
Vip-Saloti is a furniture showroom, located along the highway close to Novosele, Vlora, Albania. In the inside are hosted 10,000 sqm of showroom and 2,000 sqm of stockroom. The ground surface covers an area of almost 4,200 sqm. The faรงade facing the highway is 54m wide and 14m high. The concept of it was the creation of a triple-faรงade where layers interfere with one-another. The first one is a waved surface, divided in two parts, 4m high and 8m high. The wave is created with inox-profiles, which stand with the help of a second faรงade, metallic construction. While the third layer is a spider glass faรงade isolating the building. The correlation of the three facades is more obvious in the area where the glass boxes pop out of the building and where the ground level box is the main entrance. The same relation goes inside as well, where after entering throughout the box, the visitor finds himself inside an atrium that brings zenithal light. This atrium is covered entirely with the same inox-profiles and creates a transparent inner box.

VILA TIRANA
Work Projects | Exterior Projects
The main requirement for the project was the creation of a vila, planned for two different families, each located in a separated floor, and the ground floor given as a space for rent. The context and the construction site, has conditioned the utilized space and it’s shape. The ground floor covers 500 sqm. Such a way the vila was designed as a masif block, with evident openings and creates contrast with the surrounding constructions.

"FEDERAL" DESIGN STUDIO OFFICES Work Projects | Interior Projects
This project is still under construction... In this case is required an adaptation of a previous function into an office area. The idea in this case was the creation of an outdoor-indore office place, hosting inside of it small box-office-islands. The whole space is devided in two partitions, one being the offices for the staff, while the other side being the location of priting machines. One additional intervention is the cover of the existing staircase with the blue perforated box, made by pressed-wood panels.

THE EXTRACT OF SPACE TETOVO MUNICIPALITY, TETOVO, MACEDONIA
School Projects | Urban Design Projects
Tetovo is a distinct city, in citizens that “inhabit” it, as well as in building typologies that form it. “The Extract of Space_ Tetovo Skeleton City” tends to put in opposite different part of the city and tries to define ways how the parts can complement one-another through functions that structure space, attracting more social groups in public space. Studying the city in fragments, as well as in the entity that these pieces create, shapes the “skeleton hypothesis”, a development that structures and becomes a source of cities future life. The city is seen as a pure organism, with vertebral spines that hold its essence and pushes the movement of the entire machinery of peripheral cities areas. This is a vision for a Tetovo reformed from its essence of space (a rise of its basic elements from culture to economy).

A more concrete example is the application of the stripe interferences and functional spreading in a human scale intervention. As it is seen the final proposal is influenced by the surrounding buildings, from cultural to economic, recreational to religious. Such a way the final solution can be perceived more as a urban plaza offering events, activities and recreation, rather than being profiled in a enclosed religious building prohibiting access and functionality during common days.

How to bring Vienna’s inhabitants to the area in front of Schönbrunn? We started from an analysis of successful plazas in Vienna: Naschmark, Stephanplatz, Museum Quartier, Kunsthale and Danube River Side. The aim was to make somehow a mirror effect of their Spatial Success, such a way creating a small-scale city in Schönbrunn. We saw that success has to do with the way that space was fragmented, social interaction and clash of age groups. The project deals with a vast void space located between Schönbrunn complex and the Park behind Wiental river. This transition from the castle toward the park, where events and facilities will be located, is realized through Fragmentation. Space would be fragmented permanently and temporarily. The permanent fragmentation is the creation of platforms, where events happen. Temporarily intervention is achieved by using modules.

“URBAN HEALERS� a dialog between permanent and temporary architecture for revitalization of leftover industrial areas
Diploma Project
Approach on finding a cure, solution, to revitalize, reuse or refurbish “left-over” areas in Tirana city, has to do with the creation of programmatic self-sufficient systems. A self-sufficient system is an independent system, consisting in the coexistence and correlation of two types of interventions, permanent and temporary architecture, that try to complement each other in a process hereinafter referred to as the ‘urban healers’. The research analyzes how permanent and temporary interventions interact to create a cultural, sociological and economical impact in the city and how combinations between these two types of architecture will provide different ‘healing’ methods to be implemented in the proper left over area. ‘Healing’, is used as a term to represent a process of endured revitalization, not only concerning structural revitalization but most of all ensuring a continuous frequency of the area. Although it recognized four different groups of leftover areas such as: Urban Central Plazas; Vacant Buildings; Neighborhood’s inner courtyards; and Ex-Industrial Areas; this research will focus on fourth group namely Ex-industrial areas commonly referred to as the ‘brownfields’, with proposed project being Culture through Art, as means of revitalization.
