Story
A harmonious architectural development integrating nature and light in Pogradec. Located at the intersection of Pogradec city and the Drilon National Park, the Pyjet e Drilonit project by Selgascano and FRPO is poised to transform over 30,000 square meters into a seamless extension of the natural landscape. This ambitious development is designed to foster a deep connection with the surrounding environment, offering residents immediate access to the beauty of Lake Ohrid and the park. Inspired by the ancient name of Lake Ohrid, “Lyhnidas,” meaning “light,” the project emphasizes the use of natural light and open spaces. The architecture aims to create bright, airy environments that harmonize with the natural surroundings, enhancing the living experience while maintaining ecological sensitivity.
