Project Study - Customized Technical Solution

The city of Durrës is being enriched with one of the most luxurious hotels on the Albanian coast – the 5-star Crowne Plaza. Positioned in a unique location fully exposed to sunlight throughout the day, the project faced a major challenge: high energy consumption and maintenance costs required to maintain comfortable indoor temperatures for guests.

Thanks to our expertise and a thorough project study, we introduced an innovative solution using high-performance thermal and acoustic glass. This advanced glazing (composition customized for the project’s needs) minimizes energy loss, prevents overheating, and ensures long-term savings on energy and operational costs.

Our solution ensured indoor noise levels of just

  •   30 dB at night
  •  35 dB during the day,

Creating an exceptionally quiet environment that meets and exceeds international standards for 5-star hotels.

These acoustic standards go beyond expectations for an urban luxury hotel, guaranteeing maximum peace and privacy for guests.

Works Performed:

  • Glass Facade with Interpane Glass
    The hotel features a stunning glass facade made with premium Interpane Glass, designed to provide excellent thermal and acoustic insulation. The expansive glass panels create a bright and airy interior, while offering panoramic views of the Adriatic Sea and surrounding scenery.
  • Windows with Restrictor for Safety
    To ensure guest safety, all windows in the hotel are fitted with restrictors, limiting their opening to prevent accidents and enhance security, particularly in high or exposed areas.
  • Curved Shape Glass Railing
    Modern and elegant curved glass railings were installed on balconies and terraces. These railings provide a sleek, sophisticated appearance while ensuring safety and allowing unobstructed views.
  • Dormakaba Automatic Sliding Doors
    The hotel is equipped with Dormakaba automatic sliding doors, offering smooth, seamless entry. These doors enhance accessibility, combining functionality with a modern, minimalist design.
