"... Our culture enjoys good food and coffee especially with good company while eating and drinking, it is also worth asking that we also eat fast food slowly.
One of the strongest points we wanted to pay attention to was the comfort, the special look and the feeling “at home”.

Glass blocks have been used in cases where in the past they needed light and not views … mostly secondary places like wc, stairwells, etc., while we have given them added value by showing that the glass bones do wonders. One of the reasons we used glass blocks is because of the depth of the strip, to create the same feeling throughout the strip and painting the wall behind the yellow glass blocks. An environment with glass blocks results in happiness and positivity where this place will always look like spring.

Among the other wonderful qualities is the greenery, which in itself creates a connection between the interior and exterior space, as well as illuminates the entire design making it comfortable and natural. It creates a connection with nature and participates in a house-like feeling as the interiors of many houses have their fair share of plants scattered throughout the rooms. Moreover, the green stars are two olives which are placed in focus, as the laying is positioned around them.

Light and metallic sheets perforated from the ceiling create a dynamic play of light and shade and add charm to the space during daylight hours as well as late evenings. Hebs has also found support in artistic works which are scattered in space by the artist Fitore Berisha...."

VOFFICE

"A co-working space designed to give a variety of options to make the most out of your work day!

Different rooms, different moods!

While some spaces are meant to foster individual work, others are designed for group work. Some spaces are for resting and reading, others for snacking or drinking coffee. The whole interior is designed to be able to select a location according to the mood you’re in or want to be, consequently making you feel at ease and productive.

‘Green islands’ were used throughout the interior in order to improve health and convenience for people using the space.

Blue has been proven to increase concentration and productivity, and while it was used in the meeting and conference room, the glass panels allow for the color to be experienced throughout most of the space.

The management office is separated with glass followed by a perforated wooden panel; while these panels allow a visual connection, they also create a physical separation, sound control and allow the spaces to be more private.

Overall the office is an open plan allowing for flexibility of changing desks or adding further seating if the company grows further, but then again it also has the privacy needed for the management team and the meeting room."

Mellow Apartment located in Prishtina is a living space characterized with warm, sensitive and welcoming environment.
'The interrelationship between these three elements is realized through the colors, shape and communication of space. The arch forms used in here take a different dimension. In the middle of every straight line, the arches relax the environment making it completely stylish and attractive. The dining table, the piano, the decorative mirror in the bedroom, are just some of the things this family fanatically preserves over the years that carries with them unforgettable memories and experiences. So we have adapted them in the best way possible, further enhancing the pleasant contrast they create between the old and the modern.' Architect:

"The first idea while on the process of creating the concept, was a play on two worlds of our imagination and reality to give people that escape from our daily reality, and put a smile on peoples faces.
We would describe our style in this intirior as ratro meets art deco with some bubble gum esence, the bigest trade mark of our work is the pastel colors that in this cases devides the space into the two semerical monocrome areas.
Also a major drtail were our hidden massages on our quotes such as "Wanderlust" and " Dream BIG", knowing the fact that we live in a country where we aren't visa free and our restriction of treavel is what causes especialy the youth of Kosovo to suffer from the Wonderlust disease, and the second one is a reminder do dream big, because no one can order us to stop dreaming.
So we offer our consumers a trip into our imagination and colorful world."

'Designed by Arra Interior for the travel agency “As Travel ” located in Prishtina's city center. Our design inspiration mostly came from traditional Island architecture such as Zanzibar, Mauritius, Bali and the Maldives. The aim was to establish a connection with nature, history, culture, and
heritage, so clients would experience the journey and feel the strong emotions when visiting all these beautiful places, even before actually being there. The interior combines rough, natural, and soft materials which together
create a warm and comfortable ambiance. The focal point of the project is the floor. We used pieces from unique and beautiful tiles to create an artwork composition, a sort of mosaic. Though we never forget about one's origins, so we decided to conserve the original structure's ceiling arches, which were quite interesting and perfectly fitted the spirit and soul of the whole design composition.'

'"BO café and kitchen" comes as a mix of industrial with rustic design, creating a space that appears welcoming and urban. With industrial chairs, exposed whitewashed bricks, concrete, brass finish wall, and exposed metal pipes that link and hold the metal pendant lights, the interior stretches into an urban/ industrial vibe while the reclaimed wood coffee bar with the columns, wooden tables, and wooden segments of the floor all add an element of vintage/rustic to the mix. At its core, an olive tree stretches up and out from the bar table, visually adding a splendid vitality to the entire room.'

'Buqalla Hotel & Pools is located in Buqalla valley. It is separated in two by the small river. The project is the result of continues changes. Based on the idea of meeting between man and nature, the human made platforms are placed in the middle of the nature. They are bridges, pools, buildings, stairs and walls. While the people are walking around, architecture makes them see themselves and the nature.
The terrace between the Hotel and the pools is the bridge across the river. The poured concrete structure is clear and it’s very easy to understand how the building works. The outside and the inside are interwoven dramatically in all levels. The building is very closely related to the landscape.'

'Metalic Clubs concept is based on the fact that any new intervention should
fit the inherited architecture, without damaging and stripping it
of its stylistic features. The existing building is a cornerstone of
modernist architecture, designed with a module that replicates itself by creating a rhythm within the space.

The existing metal construction of the factory on which the new design is laid and incorporated by green represents the relationship of architecture with nature. This relationship has developed the concept, through which the industrial will be transformed into something natural.' Architect:

"Heroinat memorial, honors the sacrifice and contribution of all ethnic Albanian women during the 1998-1999 Kosovo War. As we were researching for inspiration, we came across a Human Rights Watch article which states that there are nearly 20,000 Kosovar women that were r***d during the Kosovo war of the late 1990s. Most of these war crimes remain untried, and some of the victims still live with those horrifying memories and scars, every day and to this day. We took this tragic number of victims, and transformed it into medals. Medals dedicated to each and every woman’s contribution and sacrifice for this country, no matter what age or occupation. And by these 20,000 medals, the face of the heroine of Kosovo is formed. The portrait reflects values of dignity, dedication, education, care, courage and endurance. This memorial also won the famous Golden A’ Design Award at Architecture, Building and Structure Design Competition highlighted as the winner by the international judges of the A’ Design Awards & Competitions among thousands of designs."

"Anarchitecture theatre building is one of the first examples of industrial building transformation in Kosovo. Transforming into a theatre from Car Suspenders Factory of the ’80s, is a model of not only raising people’s awareness on recycling and reuse of materials but also an example how the building can ‘act’ in terms of giving subliminal messages that have a relation with the different context of materials that were used. It is a building that yells, screams, whispers, creates sanctuary, absolves old, it moralizes, redeems, heels. It is an act of defiance. It represents a resistance to new order while looking to the future." Architect:

The Yellow Pavilion is a large bright pavilion build in one of the most frequented streets near to the main boulevard in Prishtina. 'The main purpose of the pavilion will be to connect the street with the boulevard in two essential dimensions. First, connect them physically so that the street becomes an active extension of the boulevard, and second, connect them visually and socially, so that people engage in collective activities around shared public spaces.'

H House is located in an environment striving to find itself. The orientation of the house is focused toward the South West, where large windows open onto the gardens and to the views of Prishtina beyond. The dynamism of the structure in such a prominent setting has become a symbol of confidence in the landscape. Inspiration was drawn from the traditional Albanian costume worn by men, the Fustanella, and the rhythmic way the fabric of the garment moves with the dancer at festive gatherings.

"The idea / inspiration for the Don Cafe House design derives from sack filled with coffee grains. The walls of the bar are organically shaped and colored like coffee sack made up of “Plywood” type of wood, whereby the pillars in between are coated with textile coffee sacks. The separating wall has a double function; decorative and functional. Its organic shape consists the most dominant part of the premise enabling a unique feeling of sitting unlike any other one comes across in everyday life."

Klan Kosova Television Studio is 'one of the first examples of the transformation and reuse of an industrial edifice in Kosovo, the Klan Kosova building’s architectural concept is generated from the reuse and recycling of materials. The building recycles not just materials from the existing structure, a factory manufacturing shock absorbers, but also incorporates recycled materials from other parts of the country, utilizing bricks from the ruins of the houses burned during the war, for example. The building houses offices, studios and technical areas, all enclosed within a façade envelope composed of recycled railway sleepers of different sizes that create a play of light and shadow.'

"Hotelgracanica located opposite of Ulpiana (one of the biggest archeological sites in Kosovo) and is the most eco-friendly hotel in Kosovo.
All internal and external areas built have a unity in the materialization that gives an impression as if the internal spaces blend outside with nature, and in the outdoor areas they feel protected as being within the facility. By relying on some old traditional materials and using them in a new modern form, a modern architecture has been achieved."

Campus with Kindergarten, Primary and High School is located on the outskirts of Prishtina. "The school now except teaching is a game, entertainment and anything else, factors that make the learning more attractive. Each section has its own characteristic color, giving different identities to each of them. While from galleries, the play of colors is perceived as a complex."

A large privat villa is located on the top of the hill with overlook to Pristina. 'The allusions to traditional rural constructions led to thinking of the complexity of a house of this kind as the sum of different very simple entities, in scale with the context and related to the topography of the land and the sun path.' Wood panels as protector from the sun create a warm and domestic atmosphere. Pavilions situated in the park reflect the local timber constructions: intermediary structures between the house and garden.
