A sculptural residential tower wrapped in a rhythmic, leaf-inspired living facade overlooking the Vlorë coastline.

Designed by Davide Macullo Architects, The Leaves reimagines high-density coastal living through an organic architectural language. The tower’s exterior is defined by faceted, pigmented concrete planters arranged like overlapping foliage, seamlessly weaving vertical Mediterranean gardens into the building’s sculptural envelope.

The Leaves residential tower illuminated against the dusk horizon of Vlorë bay.
Twilight falls over the coast as internal light filters through the porous vertical foliage.
Angular cantilever framing Sazan Island across the open sea at twilight.
A sharp architectural overhang composing a contemplative dialogue with the horizon and Sazan Island.
Faceted, terracotta and ochre concrete modules projecting toward the coastline.
Earth-pigmented cantilevered volumes transforming the facade into an organic boundary with the sea.
Rhythmic facade elevation displaying polychromatic concrete planters in warm daylight.
A vibrant relief of alternating diamond vessels animating the residential elevation with light and shadow.

Our visualization focused on translating this kinetic facade into cinematic light and atmosphere. Through precise textures, board-formed concrete tones, and panoramic twilight compositions, the imagery captures the dialog between the structure’s bold geometry and the natural horizon of Vlorë.
