Hi, I’m Zaimir Shkembi, a highly creative registered architect based in Tirana, Albania. Since founding Z Arkitektur in 2011, I’ve designed houses, hotels, and a wide range of construction projects, collaborating with clients and professionals to turn ideas into built environments. My work has achieved a high rate of blueprints adopted for project execution, and I’ve participated in over 50 on-site visits to ensure design intent translates into reality. I am a certified architect in Albania and I’m always eager to bring thoughtful, context-aware design to new challenges. I’m looking to continue my career with studios and clients that value inventive solutions and collaborative processes, helping ideas become architectural designs and built forms that improve everyday life.
