The Rozafa Hotel Tower is a visionary skyscraper redefining the skyline of Shkodra while paying homage to its rich history and architectural heritage. The design blends tradition and modernity through a cluster of four interconnected towers, symbolizing unity and progression. The towers’ fluid lines and graceful curves draw inspiration from the artistic movements found in Brahim Kodra’s paintings.

Emphasizing sustainability, the project integrates low-carbon concrete with recycled aggregates, green roofs, and vertical gardens to enhance biodiversity and mitigate urban heat island effects. Passive design strategies ensure optimized natural lighting and ventilation, complemented by state-of-the-art HVAC systems and energy-efficient LED lighting.

The ground floor fosters community engagement, featuring retail spaces, cafes, and cultural exhibitions that celebrate Shkodra’s artistic legacy. The upper floors house hotel accommodations and apart-hotels, ensuring luxurious experiences with breathtaking panoramic views of the city and surrounding mountains. The rooftop hosts a restaurant and lounge bar, offering a vibrant social space.

Positioned as the heart of Shkodra, the Rozafa Hotel Tower is more than an architectural marvel; it is a cultural landmark enhancing the city’s economic and social vitality.
