The Rruga Adem Jashari mixed-use development presents three russet-hued towers and a white stepped pyramid. Located on a strategic site in the Albanian capital, on the boundary between the urban fabric and an adjacent park, the pigmented concrete complex incorporates greenery. It contains apartments in skyscrapers rising 150, 192, and 266 meters, complemented at the base with commercial premises included in the ziggurat-shaped building.

The architectural concept is based on the arrangement of blocks stacked in an orderly manner. This idea is expressed through the pillars of the distinctive facades, where the concrete blocks follow a very precise structural logic.

The Swiss firm of Valerio Olgiati uses earthy colors to symbolize the building's growth from the ground up. The towers rest on a base which is accessible from all angles, forming a plaza that extends towards the park. The link is enhanced by the integration of pine trees, which add a green touch to the surroundings.
