When love, values, experience, creativity, art and tradition meet, create Shtini Lab.

Architect Irma Shtini based in Italy, was born and raised in the land of eagles, high mountains and beautiful Adriatic and Ionian sea, Albania.  

After graduating from high school in Kavaje, Irma moved to Milan in 1999, studing Architecture at the Politecnico di Milano. In 2003 she attended a year at the Queensland University of Technology, Brisbane (Australia) and in 2006 she graduated in Milan.

The fusion of her professional and life experiences generates the strength of Shtini Lab.

The studio undertakes a variety of work, from residential to commercial and hospitality, managing in-house all stages of architectural development, from concept design, through to construction and delivery.

The work is strongly led by the customer's needs and by the continuous research of materials, products and collaboration between craftsmen, suppliers and builders.

“You cannot simply put something new into a place. You have to absorb what you see around you, what exists on the land, and then use that knowledge along with contemporary thinking to interpret what you see”
