Oppenheim Architecture<\/a> has released renderings of Vlore Beach Tower, a new 21-story residential building set to anchor the redevelopment of Albania\u2019s<\/a> southern coastline. Located two miles from Vlore\u2019s historic center, the tower is positioned along a main axis leading to a planned marina and forms part of the firm\u2019s larger Vlore Beach Urban Development master plan.<\/p>\n

The wider development spans more than 200,000 square feet between the old town, the Soda Forest, and the Bay of Vlore. The Miami and Basel-based studio maintains a dedicated office in Tirana<\/a>, where they are currently hiring<\/a> for a Senior Architect.<\/p>\n

The tower\u2019s<\/a> bush-hammered concrete facade, finished in a warm reddish hue, draws inspiration from the mineral tones of the surrounding landscape. Deeply recessed openings define the exterior, framing views of the coastline while referencing traditional Albanian window forms in a contemporary interpretation.<\/p>\n

At street level, the building is recessed to create a pedestrian plaza that links to the waterfront promenade, retail areas, and marina. A vertical LED media wall will display digital art, light installations, and local storytelling, animating the public space.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Inside, the tower includes 107 residential units<\/a>, ranging from single-bedroom apartments to duplex penthouses. Upper-level units feature private terraces, and all residences are designed to maximize natural light and sea views. Separate access points for the residential lobby, office entrance, underground parking, and rooftop bar support efficient circulation and enhance public accessibility.<\/p>\n
