Drag
Zifle Architects is a high-end architecture and interior design studio with 16+ years' experience, based in Tirana and Switzerland, creating residential and hospitality spaces across Albania, Italy, and Europe.
Concept
Santa Quaranta is conceived as a resort-atmosphere hospitality space, where tropical greenery cascading from the ceiling, woven rattan lighting, and a glowing illuminated pool feature overhead create a setting that is both dramatic and relaxing. A golden sculptural figure serves as the centrepiece of the bar, giving the space a memorable character.
Design Approach
The design features clean architectural lines, organic forms, and a restrained material palette of natural stone, textured concrete, warm wood, and lush planting. Layered terraces, integrated water features, and carefully curated outdoor spaces provide a fluid spatial experience, while every element is positioned to maximize comfort, sea views, and the surrounding natural environment.
