Project overview

White Warehouse is a 2,480 m² mixed-use commercial, production and logistics building in Tirana, completed in 2025. Conceived as a carved cuboid, its mass responds to the irregular plot, orientation and programme, while all four façades receive equal architectural weight. Folded white panels create shifting light and shadow; red recessed corners mark entrances and circulation. Efficient stacked floors and a compact core maximise usable area. Cost data were not provided.

Project history
2024 – Commission and design: The client sought a distinctive, efficient building uniting retail, production and logistics in a single 2,480 m² facility, while strengthening the company’s visibility in Tirana. Smart Studio developed a compact cuboid, carved in response to the plot, orientation, access and internal programme. Every façade was conceived as part of the company’s public identity. 2024-2025 – Development and construction: The functions were stacked around a compact circulation and service core. Folded white panels, recessed glazing and red corner cuts transformed a pragmatic brief into a recognisable architectural language. 2025 – Completion and impact: The building consolidated multiple activities, improved operational clarity and established a strong new address for the client. Its illuminated façades and active ground floor enhance the streetscape, adding a contemporary landmark to a mixed commercial and industrial area.
