Hora Vertikale is a new project in Tirana that features residential buildings arranged in a vertical settlement - "Hora", in ancient Albanian. Below, there is a vibrant new park, alongside amenities and various opportunities for both residents and visitors. Furthermore, the project aims to engage the local neighboring community. It is designed as a unique vertical village situated amidst a large green city. Aimed at portraying the chaotic nature of Tirana vertically, the project places a strong emphasis on sustainability. Locally sourced materials from Albania are used to minimize the carbon footprint and support the local economy. The result is a building that leaves a sustainable impact for both city visitors and residents. The design integrates urban and rural elements, with the towers expected to become iconic landmarks, offering a visually stunning presence and a distinctly local atmosphere.
From a distance, the buildings present heights and distinct perceptions from various views around the city. Up close, the playful interaction of the concept reveals its secrets and the compositions are drawn from the main road to the park at the back, creating the most suitable transition in terms of scale. Using abstraction and synthesis as working tools, the project seeks to offer a specific interpretation of the features of Tirana, presenting a unique yet essential and authentic sketch. The entire project is developed using seven different types of cubes, each with seven levels - a characteristic average height for most buildings in Tirana. Each cube embodies a unique concept related to art and is also inspired by the local language. The initial construction phase consists of thirteen cubes, each measuring 22.5 m by 22.5 m in three different heights, giving the composition a fluid and dynamic profile.
