Oricon Tower

Located at one of Tirana’s most prominent intersections, beside the U.S. Embassy, this visionary tower by X Plan Studio in collaboration with Diller Scofidio + Renfro (DS+R) stands as a bold symbol of Albania’s architectural future.

Recognized among the Top Projects of Albania 2030, it reflects the nation’s ambition to modernize, grow sustainably, and assert its presence on the regional stage. The tower’s dynamic form features sculptural volumes, diagonal lines, and lush terraces that create a sense of movement and integration with the city.

A transparent ground floor invites public interaction, while a striking red crown marks its place in the skyline. At its base, the building lifts itself with confidence, carved from angular forms that appear to fold and bend, creating a dramatic entrance experience. Red accents slash through the otherwise muted palette, adding an electric pulse to the form and guiding the eye upward. The podium is solid yet fluid, composed of dynamic shapes and sheer glass expanses that invite light deep into its core. Designed as a mixed-use development, it includes elegant residential units, high-end office and retail spaces, communal amenities, and elevated green platforms. More than a building, this project represents Tirana’s transformation into a contemporary, forward-looking capital. A future landmark shaped by two world-class studios, it is a defining moment in Albania’s urban evolution.
