02 / Structural system
A three-dimensional model made the full development legible.
The reinforced-concrete buildings were analysed as complete gravity and lateral systems, with stiffness, regularity and seismic response coordinated in both principal directions.
03 / Detailed design
Global response translated into construction-ready reinforcement.
Foundation slabs, beams, walls and associated reinforced-concrete elements were developed through a consistent detailing system suited to repeated construction at scale.

HAB21 in motion.
The final sequence presents the architectural scale and public realm of the development alongside the structural work behind it.
HAB21
HAB21 is a major new residential development in Gjakova comprising two coordinated blocks and ten reinforced-concrete buildings. Block 1 contains Buildings A–E at B+P+11, while Block 2 contains Buildings A–E at B+P+13, together forming approximately 100,000 m² of development. As Main Structural Engineer, Bledian Nela led the structural analysis, seismic design and reinforcement documentation across the repeated yet individually coordinated building systems. The design basis uses advanced three-dimensional analysis and Eurocode-compliant verification to resolve gravity and lateral actions, regularity, stiffness distribution and buildable reinforced-concrete detailing at development scale.
