Selgascano's Vibrant Chimney-Like Towers Redefine Durrës Skyline

Spanish architecture firm Selgascano has completed Sky-K, a residential project in Durrës, Albania, featuring two slender, colorful towers that rise from a communal garden. The design prioritizes urban permeability by liberating the ground floor as a public Mediterranean garden, supported by six concrete columns. The towers' bold colors and undulating concrete texture evoke the city's industrial port heritage. Circular openings create deep terraces that function as outdoor rooms, providing natural shading and cross-ventilation. The project is part of a broader architectural renaissance in Albania, alongside works by noa* and MVRDV.
