Type

Residential & Commercial

The residential building on Shefqet Musaraj Street, completed in 1999, is a mixed-use development designed to accommodate both residential and commercial functions within an urban setting. The building combines commercial activity at ground level with residential spaces above, creating a practical and functional relationship between the two uses.

The project reflects the architectural and construction characteristics of the late 1990s, with a clear organization of its functional spaces. The commercial component contributes to the building’s active connection with the surrounding streetscape, while the residential areas provide a dedicated living environment integrated within the wider urban fabric.

Vision & Concept

Completed in 1999, the building on Shefqet Musaraj Street was conceived as a response to the growing demands of urban living in Tirana at the end of the 1990s, bringing together residential and commercial functions within a well-organized architectural structure.

The design focuses on creating a strong connection between the building and its surrounding urban context along Shefqet Musaraj Street. Commercial spaces are positioned at street level to maintain an active relationship with the street, while the residential areas above are carefully arranged to provide comfort, privacy, and efficient use of space.

The overall approach emphasizes simplicity, functionality, and adaptability, resulting in a mixed-use development that continues to contribute to the character and continuity of the surrounding neighborhood.
