Tirana Public Administration Hub

Winner of the international design competition, the Public Administration Cluster in Tirana, designed by Coldefy in collaboration with Atelier 4, Jacopo Foggini, Sempervirens, and AEI Progetti, brings together several government institutions within a 31,000 m² complex, open to and integrated into the city.

The publicly accessible ground floor features plazas, retail spaces, and landscaped courtyards, encouraging pedestrian connections and interaction between citizens and public institutions. Inspired by traditional Albanian textiles, artist Jacopo Foggini’s polycarbonate rods animate the façades while providing solar shading.

The modular architecture ensures flexibility and adaptability to future needs, while green terraces, landscaped courtyards, and rainwater management contribute to the building’s environmental performance. Bringing together architecture, art, and landscape, the project proposes a new vision for public administration: accessible, sustainable, and rooted in Tirana’s cultural identity.
