Project overview

Conceptually, the building has been treated as a “House of Peace”, where the primary and simple form of the building has undergone a sculptural process of cuts and clefts to give it a contemporary and dynamic appearance. These features include a large panoramic roof terrace, as well as an Impressive main entrance to the building. Other distinctive features allow for the entry of natural light into the below-ground floors, which are used for offices and conference rooms.

Project history

The Embassy of Peace is part of the Universal Peace Federation (UPF), an international and interreligious network of individuals and organizations, including representatives from various religions, governments, civil society, and the private sector, dedicated to achieving world peace. An NGO in general consultative status with the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations, UPF supports the work of the United Nations, particularly in the areas of interfaith peacebuilding, peace education, and the strengthening of marriage and family. The new headquarters of the Embassy of Peace is in a prime location just off the Elbasan Road at the Eastern entrance of Tirana, near the Great Park. The steep terrain on which the building is situated presented a challenge, and the slope and dense urban conditions influenced the basic elements of its design.
