BUS TERMINAL SLAVONSKI BROD

BUS TERMINAL SLAVONSKI BROD

The existing bus station in Slavonski Brod is in a logical location in the city. It is situated along the Petra Svačića Street (city avenue) and the railway station with an overpass that connects the north and south sides of the city.

ZADAR STUDENT CANTEEN AND PAVILIONS
2021

ZADAR STUDENT CANTEEN AND PAVILIONS

Three five-floor student residential pavilions were placed above the rectangular ground floor built for the purposes of the canteen. The residential volumes signify duality in approaches. On the one side, they are cantilevered over the base with the intent of marking the main entrances to the sections of the ground floor, and on the other […]

EDUCATIONAL COMPLEX SREDIŠĆE

The complex is a set of orthogonal volumes along the eastern margin of the plot keeping the same perimeter and strict height relationship.

AMADRIA PARK CONVENTION CENTER
2018

AMADRIA PARK CONVENTION CENTER

The context is determined by the structure of the existing hotel complex and its position in the pine woods along the Mediterranean Sea. The APCC seeks a new expression which is achieved through a regular volume wrapped by a perforated façade inspired by traditional Croatian lacework. The color-suppressed and neutral presence of whiteness of the […]

EDUCATIONAL COMPLEX KAJZERICA
2014

EDUCATIONAL COMPLEX KAJZERICA

The concept of the cultural – educational complex in Kajzerica has been deducted from a contextual inspiration: by shifting the direction of the complex volume from the street of the old Kajzerica we get a public area and an extension of the urban space under a green shelter. The lifted classroom volume slabs are outdoing […]
