Taking a break from monolithic structures, JA Joubert Architecture has designed a mixed use structure with its own mini ecosystem. The building called Greenside Out has been designed keeping in mind the urban regulations practiced by the city of Tirana, Albania features hollowed out structures that help create a bio network around the structure. The design with its glass facades ensures ample daylight and natural ventilation helping all parts of the building stay fresh and illuminated. This also helps reduce power consumption and save energy.
