Interior Architecture  ·  Est. 2010  ·  Tirana

We shape rooms
that remember you.

A studio of architects, designers and makers. Since 2010 we have built interiors for private residences, hotels and offices across Albania, Italy, Switzerland and the United States.

01 Philosophy

Interiors are not surfaces. They are scripts for the way a day unfolds — how light lands on concrete at 8 a.m., where the hand falls for the switch, which room the quiet belongs to.

We design slowly. We prototype in the material. We work alongside engineers, lighting designers and master craftsmen from Tirana, Milan and Geneva — so every detail is argued for, and every detail earns its place in the room.

— Albana Cereneci, Creative Director

03 Studio

A small serious
studio in Tirana.

Seven people. One table. Architects, interior designers, a structural engineer and an art director — working under the same roof in the old city, a ten-minute walk from Skanderbeg Square.

I stay close to my clients. I use as much of their everyday life as I can, so the room we make together feels emotionally theirs — not mine, not a catalogue, theirs.

04 How We Work

Four rooms,
one conversation.

Every project moves through four distinct phases — from listening to delivery. No shortcuts. No compromises.

01

Listening

Two days in your space, no drawings. We measure, we sit, we ask how you live there and what you wish it did instead.

02

Concept

A single board. One idea, defended in plan, section and material — before a single piece of furniture is chosen.

03

Detail

Bespoke millwork, lighting schemes, finish palettes. Every junction drawn at 1:5. Every switch placed with intent.

04

Delivery

Our project architect lives on site. Craftsmen we know by name. You receive a room that works on the first day you walk in.
