Bond Tower, Albania

Located at the intersection of Dritan Hoxha Avenue, in the western part of Tirana, a development zone, the 50-floor Bond Tower is designed to become an icon of the development and modernization of the Albanian capital. The building unites residential, commercial, office, and hotel space, reflecting the city’s vibrant urban life.

Facades have the power to represent, transform, and reflect the history and culture of a society. Bound introduces a new elevation to Tirana, symbolizing progress and urban transformation. The parametric structure of the building reflects the traditional patterns of Albanian carpets, creating a unique texture on the facade.

Just as a dancer weaves precision into every movement, this building weaves history and culture into a tapestry that reflects the city’s evolving identity. The firm’s approach provides a physical representation of Tirana’s evolving identity, bringing the influences of historical heritage into a dance with contemporary architectural practices.

Characterized by two interconnected volumes of different heights that meet in a plié in the urban landscape, creating a silhouette reminiscent of the grace of a ballet, the interplay of these forms avoids the creation of a massive urban volume, giving the building an elegant and iconic presence.

Inspired by the Albanian mountains, the public and green spaces integrated around the building are designed to encourage dialogue and enrich community life.

The vegetation strategy mimics the natural gradation found in these mountains, with resilient plants on the higher levels reflecting the high-altitude flora, and varied plantings on the lower levels echoing the mountain valleys, providing a diverse and enriching experience with an interesting variety of textures and scents.
