Coldefy wins competition for mixed-use government cluster in Tirana, Albania

Coldefy, in collaboration with Atelier 4, the artist Jacopo Foggini, Sempervirens, and AEI Progetti, have emerged as the winners of an international competition to design the new Public Administration Cluster in Tirana, Albania. 

The team says: "Our vision was to create a space that doesn’t just house administration but also symbolizes the collective values of society. The project gives space back to the community, reflecting transparency and cohabitation with public administration. It not only enhances the workspace for employees but also improves the surrounding neighborhood, fostering inclusion and community through welcoming public spaces."

The winning proposal covers 31,000 square meters (aprx. 333,600 square feet) and includes a layered program of government offices, commercial office space, a retail component, and below-ground parking united by levels of public plazas and open terraces. No construction timelines were listed in the press announcement.
