01
Projects
Design studies and 3D visualisations from the studio. Each study shows how we think about a space: proportions, light and detail.
Design Study 11 · Industrial kitchen
100 to 120 cm between two kitchen runs, so oven and fridge doors open freely.
3 TV mistakes
Screen centre 100 to 110 cm above the floor, viewing distance 1.5 to 2.5 times the diagonal.
Design Study 05 · Scandinavian living room
A rug large enough for the front legs of every seat.
Design Study 04 · Japandi living room
40–45 cm between sofa and coffee table; the table about two thirds of the sofa’s length.
Design Study 07 · Modern classic bedroom
Nightstand at mattress height, within 5 cm either way.
02
On site
Projects on site, during construction. We follow every job through to handover.
03
Practice
A space that starts from how it is used, not from its shape.
DIADE Architecture is a Prishtina-based studio with more than 20 years of experience, led by Diellëza Bekteshi, interior designer and civil engineer. We work on residential, commercial and public projects of every size, where every decision is made by thinking about the ordinary day of the person who uses the space.
We work in Albanian, English and German, including with clients from the diaspora who build or renovate in Kosovo.

Frequently asked questions
Where do you work?
Anywhere. We prepare design, interiors and 3D visualisation remotely for clients in Kosovo, Albania, across Europe and beyond. On-site supervision is mainly in Kosovo and the region.
Do you take on renovations, or only new builds?
Both. A large part of our work is interior reconstruction, bathrooms, kitchens and insulated facades.
Do you follow the work during construction?
Yes. Site supervision is part of the service: we check details, materials and deadlines until handover.
