Villa in Shkozet II
Shkozet, AL · Architectural
№ 02 · The studio
Quiet buildings, made to last.
Architecture is a slow craft. Each project begins with listening — to the site, to the people who will inhabit it, to the materials that will hold it together long after we leave.

Projects completed
Completion is not handover. We return at six months, one year, and three years to learn how each building is performing — and to carry what we learn into the next project.
- 0
Years in practice
Eight years of working at a deliberate pace — five architects, four to six commissions in active design at any time. Slow enough to listen, small enough to remain accountable.

Awards & honours
OAA Practice of the Year, the Mies van der Rohe Award shortlist for Villa in Shkozet I — recognition we accept gratefully, but never the work we set out to make.
- 0
Active commissions
We cap at four to six active projects so the studio can be present on site — weekly visits at minimum, daily during the critical phases when detail decides everything.
№ 03 · Residential Interiors
Houses that listen. Rooms that gather.
Residential interiors that begin with the site, hold the materials of the place, and stay legible to the people who use them long after we leave.
№ 04 · Architectural Design
Places to stay. Buildings to return to.
Architectural commissions that settle into landscape and city — quiet work, made for the way people actually live and move through space.
The Studio Behind the Buildings.
An independent practice based in Durrës. Working across residential, cultural, and commercial commissions throughout Albania and Europe.
Founded by Klevis Isaku in 2018, the studio works at a deliberate pace from a small ground-floor space on Rruga Pavarësia in Durrës — five architects, four to six commissions in active design at any time.
