LOCAL FACILITATING OFFICE: X-PLAN
A 23 floor residential tower crowned by 5 floors of golden penthouses. It stands between Tirana’s central Skanderbeg Square and the revitalized Bazaar. A back seat to the Prime Minister promoted cluster of mega statements that will line up next to the gold façade of BOLLES+WILSON’s 2025 Intercontinental Hotel. We have sketched our golden cones against the pink matrix of Tirana’s jumbled DNA, punctuated by two more BOLLES+WILSON planned projects – The Lets Twist Again Tower and in the background the Vasarely Tower. We are grateful to Edi Rama for pumping Bazaar Gate’s original 15 floors to the 28 floors now under construction.
ORIGINAL 15 FLOOR
BAZAAR GATE CONCEPT
FAÇADE EVELOUTION
First came a Bamboo leaf printed pattern. Then in a workshop two façade proposals by X-Plan our Albanian collaborators were mathematically synthesized to produce the window/loggia matrix.

RENDERINGS X-PLAN
PENTHOUSE REFINEMENT
As with all BOLLES+WILSON projects the penthouses were fine-tuned in an iterative exchange between sketched ambiences/compositions and the exactitude of digital co-ordination/technical requirements. The final, somewhat Chinese, sketch dissolves the golden crown in a nirvana of cloud.
