Located on the outskirts of the city, the building contains a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/tag\/healthcare-facilities\/\"><strong>medical facility<\/strong> <\/a>behind its sculptural <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/tag\/facades\/\"><strong>silhouette<\/strong><\/a> comprised of soft geometries that echo the fluid forms of the natural terrain. With curves carved from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/tag\/concrete-architecture-and-design\/\"><strong>concrete<\/strong><\/a>, these masses come together to create a series of waves, which, despite their Brutalist rigidity, form a network of spaces that invite interaction and slow down the experience of space.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Inside, this sense of ease and fluidity is a manifestation of a tenet central to the studio\u2019s approach. In a previous <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/architecture\/davide-macullo-albania-heritage-terrain-upcoming-residential-towers-04-05-2025\/\"><strong>conversation with designboom,<\/strong><\/a> founding architect Davide Macullo explained that every project responds to its surroundings through deep observation.<em> \u2018Our aim is for buildings to integrate harmoniously into their surroundings \u2014 enriching the environment and making people feel at ease through their interaction with light, color, and form,\u2019 <\/em><strong>he shares. <\/strong>The Veterinary Hospital reflects this ethos through its form reflective of organic layers of land, along with an unorthodox approach to clinical architecture. They have developed a building for animals and their caretakers underpinned with a deep understanding of psychology of space.<\/p>\n<p>all images courtesy of Davide Macullo Architects<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wow wow-yellow\">the sculptural concrete facade contains a fluid spatial program<\/h2>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The Veterinary Hospital folds Davide Macullo Architects\u2019 core ideas of designing in response to surroundings and local culture, mixed with a subtly sculptural approach. Here, the artful concrete curves are inspired by the landscape, their fluidity extending inward to eliminate any atavistic fears of enclosure, creating an open and freeing environment. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.macullo.com\/\"><strong>Swiss practice<\/strong><\/a> consciously avoids sterile typologies and embraces a bold visual language shaped by empathy, psychology, and movement. A clear logic defines the plan, guided by spatial psychology and the behavioral dynamics between species. Areas for cats and dogs are thoughtfully separated, circulation paths are intuitive, and outdoor terraces offer therapeutic spaces where animals can recover in contact with the elements.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Materially, the project balances rawness and refinement. The brutalist expressions of concrete are used to ground the building in its context, while its mass is softened by planted terraces and gently sloping lines that blur the boundary between built and natural. The building\u2019s curved forms also eliminate the rigid, institutional feel common to healthcare facilities, replacing it with a more open and humane language.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Davide Macullo Architects completes Veterinary Hospital in Tirana<\/p>\n<p>the building contains a medical facility behind its sculptural silhouette<\/p>\n<p>curves carved from concrete, these masses come together to create a series of waves<\/p>\n<p>\t<!-- CLOSE ARTICLE CONTENT --><\/p>\n<div class=\"fullwidth-image\"><\/div>\n<p>\t<!-- OPEN ARTICLE CONTENT -->\t<\/p>\n<p>within, the curves form a network of spaces that invite interaction and slow down the experience of space<\/p>\n<p>its mass is softened by planted terraces and gently sloping lines<\/p>\n<p>\t<!-- CLOSE ARTICLE CONTENT --><\/p>\n<div class=\"fullwidth-image\">\n<div class=\"layout-box\">\n<div class=\"page-content\">\n<p>the brutalist expressions of concrete are used to ground the building in its context<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>\t<!-- OPEN ARTICLE CONTENT -->\t<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>project info:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>name: <\/strong>Veterinary Hospital<\/p>\n<p><strong>architect:\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.macullo.com\/\">Davide Macullo Architects<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/davidemaculloarchitects\/\">@davidemaculloarchitects<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>location:\u00a0<\/strong>Tirana, Albania<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/architecture\/davide-macullo-veterinary-clinic-concrete-curves-albania-05-29-2025\/\">davide macullo\u2019s veterinary clinic hides behind a cluster of concrete curves in albania<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/\">designboom | architecture &amp; design magazine<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>veterinary hospital echos the fluid forms of the landscape \u00a0 Following a decade of continuous engagement with Albania\u2019s evolving architectural scene, Davide Macullo Architects has completed its Veterinary Hospital in Tirana.
