Dutch studio JA Joubert Architecture has completed a series of undulating, mixed-use<\/a> towers on a lakeside site in Tirana<\/a>, Albania.<\/span><\/p>\n

Nestled beside the city’s Tirana Park Lake, the 135,000-square-metre Lake Views development is spread across two sites containing 1,150 residences as well as public and commercial programmes.<\/p>\n

Rotterdam-based JA Joubert Architecture<\/a> designed the complex with an undulating form intended to “slope and fold into the terrain” and limit the use of “repetitive blocks”.<\/p>\n

To both draw in light and offer views across the surrounding landscape, the mixed-use towers are each lined with cascading planted terraces designed to mimic the nearby mountains.<\/p>\n

“By creating this undulating height and positioning the facing facades carefully, we could have views from and through the project, creating a more democratic neighbourhood with its own identity,” studio founder Marc Joubert told Dezeen.<\/p>\n

“The full-width terraces with planters for the end apartments create a green view, echoing the green hills and mountains surrounding Tirana,” he added.<\/p>\n

A modular grid determined the layout of the towers, which are complete with glazed facades flanked with protruding terraces.<\/p>\n

At ground level, JA Joubert Architecture designed the site with a “pedestrian-friendly” courtyard, where greenery-lined paths connect the towers’ lower commercial levels.<\/p>\n
