Alstezo Sh.a: Contemporary Industrial Architecture with Terracotta Façade System

Technical Expression for Automotive Distribution Center

Alstezo Sh.a headquarters stands as a sophisticated architectural statement along the Tirana-Durres Highway, where contemporary design principles and industrial functionality converge to create a distinctive facility for Albania’s leading automotive parts distributor. This impressive complex, completed in 2023 as part of the company’s ongoing development since its 1993 founding, features a striking terracotta-colored aluminum composite panel façade with a clean grid pattern that creates a distinctive corporate presence while housing the company’s extensive inventory of over 95,000 automotive components.

The headquarters building combines warehouse, modern auto service facilities, and administrative functions in a four-story structure with a clear programmatic organization. From its prominent glass corner entrance pavilion with curved silver support columns to its efficient loading areas for the company’s distribution operations, every aspect of the Alstezo headquarters has been thoughtfully designed to create an efficient operational center that communicates technical sophistication and industry leadership for a company that exclusively distributes parts for 16 European, American, and Japanese automotive manufacturers.
