With a project inspired by Albania’s distinctive mountains, CEBRA has won the competition to design a new landmark in the capital of Albania, Tirana. Located on a prominent plot in the very heart of the city, the project – Mount Tirana – will be an architectural piece that celebrates the national identity and cultural heritage of Albania. This weekend, an international jury counting the Albanian Prime Minister, Edi Rama, the Mayor of Tirana, four internationally acclaimed architects as well as the client, Nova Construction 2012, appointed CEBRA as winner of the project competition to design a 185-metres multifunctional tower and a new urban landmark in the centre of Tirana. The winning proposal, Mount Tirana, will be the tallest building in the country and a distinctive tower inspired by the beauty of Albania and the mountains that surround the capital. Over the past decades, the city of Tirana has been undergoing a transformation making the capital a regional urban hub and a city of both cultural and economic importance for all the Balkans. Mount Tirana comprises housing, commercial facilities, a boutique hotel, a business area, offices and parking facilities as well as restaurants and cafés. The further development of Mount Tirana begins immediately.
