The National Art Gallery redevelopment in Tirana, designed by Atelier 4, combines restoration of the original modernist building with a contemporary extension. The intervention preserves the architectural heritage while introducing a new glazed envelope that unifies old and new volumes.

The façade strategy balances transparency and solidity, ensuring continuity between historical structure and contemporary addition.

ALCA is responsible for the façade works across both phases, restoring the existing envelope and executing the new glazed systems with high performance and detailing precision.
