Architect whose studio Atelier 4 is reported as having designed the Palasë villa (Villa 188/1) that SPAK says Balluku effectively owns. Balkanweb and Albanian Daily News report emails from him to a personal Gmail address of Balluku, one dated 14 September 2020, which SPAK reportedly treats as evidence of indirect ownership. He was questioned by SPAK for about five hours in September 2026 (Balkanweb, search result). The studio is also reported to have designed several towers in Tirana's former Block area (Citizens.al, search summary; not fetched).
