Arturbina is located in a former industrial building,on the southern part of Tirana.
Before the project, the site consisted of an office building, next to it an abandoned industrial hangar and a backyard used informally as a parking lot.
All the entrances are open facing the plaza. The project folds the plaza with new full length stairs, reaching the abandoned ground level of the residential building creating a link between them. It acts like an auditorium, a place to sit or hang out, composing a series of flowing transitions between stages, cafes, exhibitions, extending the inner and outer as one, as an inviting tool to the cultural building. In order to enhance these dynamic relationships, the entire facade of the building facing the plaza is opened up with big vertical windows, which connect the stage with the outdoor space. In this project, the energy of the coexistence between the new and the old gives a magical atmosphere to the art scene.
