Skanderbeg Building (officially known as Tirana’s Rock), a mixed-use project that – at 85 metres tall and sculpted into the shape of a bust of Albania’s national hero – will be among the world’s largest buildings that doubles as a figurative sculpture. Wrapped in curving balconies that form the shape of the head of Skanderbeg, the building will be an iconic landmark at Skanderbeg Square, the very centre of Albania’s capital, celebrating and assimilating into the country’s cultural history while giving Tirana a unique identity unlike any other capital city. At the same time, behind its dramatic visage the building provides well-designed, functional homes in one of the most desirable locations in all of Tirana.
Gjergj Kastrioti (1405-1468), more commonly known by the name Skanderbeg, is a central figure in the history of Albania, playing a crucial role in its conception as a nation-state. He is the country’s national hero, venerated most notably in the name of Skanderbeg Square, the main public square in the centre of Tirana, and the accompanying Skanderbeg Monument. Inside, the building contains one level of commercial space and four levels of offices, programmes that can accommodate the deep floorplans at the bottom of the ”bust”. Above this, 20 floors of residential apartments fill the ”head”, with special care paid to each individual floor plan to ensure that these homes are functional despite the irregular shape of the building.
The apartment is located on the 12th floor of the building. It is organized into a spacious living and dining area, two well-structured bedrooms, a large bathroom, and a 42.3 m² veranda with a fantastic view. It has a northeast orientation and a highly functional layout. Ideal for living or investment purposes. It can also be used as a luxury office in a strategic location.
