Invited by a private developer, JA Joubert Architecture decided to break with standard sub-urban development by proposing an integral solution for building and parking, directly linking them to the terrain conditions, thus creating a new community for different (age) groups, with sports and health facilities, set within a continuous green park with beautiful views to the city and Tirana lake.

These people are crazy...How can a project in Albania be the same as in Netherlands...seems like they have this copy paste houses and they put them everywhere...the climate is different,the culture is different,the economy is miserable..people in albania are dealing with the basic..electric and water supply problems, these are planning to do pools and all these disneyland stuff...I would suggest them to go and live there for a while and meet the real people and be modest and realistic with their ideas...
