I define myself as a young dynamic and ambitious architect, engaged in the process of design. I believe in the power of architecture as a tool of social development. My design is focused on expressing the character of people.

I see architecture as a vital organism that grows and adapt with time.

PORTFOLIO Just like the branches of a tree this path is linked with undefined squares from many other narrow paths. Some of them are untouched by the idea of a market place so they look like a private property. On the other hand, these “squares”, semi public market spaces, are as well the outer courtyard of residential buildings that surround them.

TRACE

ARCHITECTURE Master’s Thesis Architecture and Urban Design Tirana, Albania 2021

Every building or site has it’s own character and specific issues. The main idea manifests to find the best way of connecting the existing structure with the site in order to create a fusion between the old and new.

We, architects, will always search for better solutions, because the story we know is only a small part of the real things that have happened. Many other things are hidden or lost in silence. Working with traces is our quest to discover it secrets...

Observation Trace The atmosphere that will be created will be unique and one of its own.

Coverd on top by wooden thin beam just to keep the idea of an inside patio.

Busy Trace Somehow there is an overlapping of properties and the function of that space is not really clarified.

A new intervention will be present as one element that creates defines the atmosphere by creating its shape and identity.

Adaption Trace In the middle of the Bazaar there will be a square, where activities are going to take place. People will fill it up and change it the way they need it. In here there is a small square where different activities will occur such as shopping for clothes, having something to eat or drink and even ice cream. To the people who would sell in the ground or use tents, there is a building next to the square that can be their selling space.

PORTFOLIO

Every design project is unique and challenging.

Moving with the silhouette of the site leads to creating a strong connection between the great steep and the curvy shape of the residence. The volume tends to manifest a new atmosphere. Villas near the lake give space and importance to this wonderful view.
