The concept of the 4_Towers project placed in the Urban Garden affirms the typology of residential verticals that has been neglected in the past 20 years. The towers, placed on a green base of a garden / park, allow a minimal coverage of the layout area, maximum impact of daylight and sunlight, increase ventilation and allow a view to all four sides of the world, all in attractive apartments with balconies.

The basic characteristic of the design is the integration of a big project task into the urban structure of Zamet, with the objective of minimizing disruption and to evaluate its given urban conditions - unlevelling the terrain, the pedestrian link in a north-south direction, the quality plateau in front of the primary school, the park zone, placing the programme in the centre of Zamet at the intersection of communications. The joint conceptual and design element of the handball hall and the Zamet centre are "ribbons" stretching in a north-south direction, functioning at the same time as an architectural design element of the objects and as a zoning element which forms a public square and a link between the north - park-school and the south - the street. One third of the hall's volume is built into the terrain, and the building with its public and service facilities has been completely integrated into the terrain, i.e. it creates it with its "ribbons". The public space on the roof is not only a feature of the building in the business part of the centre, but the roof of the hall is also used as a kind of extension of the park situated to the north of the hall. The hall has been designed for major international sports competitions, in compliance with state-of-the-art world sports standards. The design of the hall has been conceived as a very flexible space. The auditorium has been designed as a system with telescopic stands, which open and adapt to the kind of competition and the number of spectators; at major competitions it is possible to seat 2380 spectators by opening all the stands. The architecture of public facilities, the shopping centre, the library and the local authority stands out in the topography of the terrain, connecting the square in front of the hall and in front of the school and tries to integrate into the overall existing context of western Zamet.

The project for the new bus terminal and a garage for 900 cars in Rijeka is one of the first steps in the "conquest" of the Rijeka port area, which is slowly begining to open up the city. The site is located in a part of the port of Rijeka which has always been closed to the public, between the railway stations, freight terminals and the passenger ferry. One of the determining design factors is the difference in scale between the port warehouses on one side and the city blocks on the other. The new terminal building with 300 meters in lenght reminiscents the massive warehouses, while the urban blocks determine the height dimensions and the zoning of the house - blocks with atriums. The area of the new terminal is surrounded by all kinds of transport - rail, cargo, port, road and pedestrian, so the new building infrastructure has become an urban strategy, a lot more than just architecture. The shoping area, the bus terminal with 18 platforms, bus depot for 14 buses and a public garage for 900 cars are located inside the terminal building, commercial and public facilities on the upper floors and a multi-purpose hall in the restored part of the existing warehouse. Pedestrian access points are provided from Krešimirova street, newly designed Žabica square and the prolonged Riva street, and they are all connected at the street level of the building, from which they move on higher levels. An accessible and quality pedestrian island of the bus terminal was created through the design proces, with acess to all of the platforms and no overlaping with the vehicular traffic. The construction and the facade are made of steel and a kind of a tribute to port cranes and constructions. They also allow a greater construction span and a better design of spaces.

The competition program is placed on a crossing of two streets, Miramarska and Bednjanska. It is a point of colliding two urban city concepts: north part with classical city blocks of the Zagreb's lower city enclosed by the railway and the south part primarily along the Vukovarska Street, outlined with modernistic dominant character of mostly public and social buildings. Concept of awarded project stems from forming a unified structure that will reconcile the surrounding urban matrix and meet the program requirements. Solution with two interacting volumes, the tower with 20 floors and the lower part of the 5 floors, united the planned goals and achieve high quality relations with the neighbouring buildings. Interspaces between two volumes - semi opened atrium, connect the inner area of the business centre with the surrounding public space. In the underground 2 floors is a garage for 400 vehicles, a ground floor space is a main access to the centre, with public commercial facilities and cafe. Higher floors are reserved for business users, while the highest floor offers a unique view of the panorama of Zagreb. Simple and at the same time very attractive effect of designing the facade by pulling the glass modules in and out, gave the building of business centre Miramare unique recognition and special value.

Spaladium Centar, sports and business complex is located on the northern part of the Split peninsula, in the vicinity of Poljud, a sports complex with a football field and pool built for The Mediterranean Games in 1979.
Spaladium Centar consists of a handball arena for 12,000 spectators, a wellness center, a sky bar and an exclusive restaurant on the top floor overlooking the entire city, its surroundings and the islands of the Split archipelago. There are 1,500 garage parking places. The shopping center guarantees visits even when the handball arena is not in use. The arena itself is a multi-purpose hall. In addition to handball, the arena will be used for basketball, tennis, volleyball, boxing, motocross, and will also be a venue for trade fairs, conventions, exhibitions and concerts.
With this complex Split will get a sports, entertainment, culture and recreation venue that will activate and reaffirm the northern part of the Split peninsula.
The complex achieves a balance between the low-lying main area and the tower?s verticality. The agreement between the horizontal and vertical is in its composition and urban planning set in order to place the location with special importance. It resembles a ship carrier: a platform with various attractive contents, with its vertical element serving as a landmark, lighthouse and location sign. It is an entrance to the new city area, its future and gateway to the northern harbour.
The complex is integrated into a compact unit by its shape, and is unified by a distinct exterior that binds functionally different elements and usages throughout the year.

The city stadium Kajzerica in Novi Zagreb represents a new landmark in the city.
The stadium, which seats more than 50.000 spectators, is located on an elevated plateau next to the sports and recreational zone of the racetracks and it dominates the surrounding area, the green zone of Sava and Bundek. The stadium is visible from all surrounding areas on both sides of the Sava River.
The coverage area is divided into three zones, consistent with the project's program, and into three phases, consistent with the financial framework of construction.
The northern zone, the first building zone, enables the undisturbed building of the stadium, independent of the surrounding settlements, parcels and Zagrebački Velesajam. The middle zone, the second building phase is crucial for the development of the stadium because this is where different services will be situated, as well as the infrastructural elements used by all three zones (public garages, bus parking and similar). The southern zone, i.e. the third building phase, encompasses the whole area of Velesajam and all of its buildings. It is for the construction of new businesses, commercial and residential buildings as well as a new commercial center. Within the newly formed cassettes - "blocks" there will be hotels, a congress center, business centers and obligatory residential areas. Integration of these elements ensures livelihood of the new center and brings a long-awaited downtown feeling and an opportunity for socialization to Novi Zagreb.
The inspiration for the circular arena came from several suitable forms; the so-called Magnus effect, one of the most difficult and attractive moves in soccer which occurs when a ball changes its course, the name of the neighborhood "kajzerica", which is a name for a certain kind of a bun whose shape is reflected in the stadium. In the context of a contemporary sports arena, this design evokes the saying from ancient times about "bread and circuses".

3LHD project for a polyvalent multifunctional new city centre Ujpest in Budapest, Hungary received mention at the international competition. The centre is located along the Vaci Road, the main road of north Pest, Szabadasag public Park and Danube promenade. The object was to create a new city centre active 24/7, space pleasant for work and leisure. The analysis of the 19th and 20th century urban matrices forms the base for the development of the concept in two ways. The ground for generating public areas and out of which nine towers with different heights and functions rise was thus created. On the other hand, the layout flexibility is enabled with the universal core as the base for development of different usages from business to hotel, restaurant and shopping.
Various silhouettes seen from different points in the city reduce the overall effect of a big mass and respond to the different contextual conditions. At the same time, previously neglected area forms a new city vista. The nine vertical elements are carefully grouped regarding pedestrian corridors and functions of each building and zone. New volumes have enough distance between them so that every volume has enough light and quality organization of space. Plans of all verticals are very flexible so in the further development they can be transformed regarding a different function, according to the client's needs.

Office building Brenum is located in Srebreno, half way between City of Dubrovnik and the airport in Ćilipi, surrounded by authentic, semi rural structure. At the same time it is situated in the zone of planned business and economic development, in constant dialogue with the road along which it is placed, absorbing fast changes and extreme growth of economy.
In such a dynamic context, exceptional attention was made to the treatment of the facade, forming it like an ethereal, translucent skin covering the pragmatic structures of the office building. The program is structured in three floors: ground-floor is a commercial space with bank offices and the entrance area with a café, and first and second floors are intended for business premises of Brenum Company and offices for rent. Garage spaces for the employees and guests, as well as storage space are situated underground.
There are a few approaches to the building - on the north side for pedestrians, directly from the road, through the wide beach, and on the west side for vehicles, from the road which leads to the centre of Srebreno. The landscape project for area surrounding the building includes a decorative ambiental garden with individual plants characteristic for the area and a wall as an architectural accent which, following the perimeter of the site reconciles the altitude difference with the surrounding roads.

Central Residences is a sophisticated new concept of urban luxury living, something completely new on the Croatian market of apartment housing.
The idea behind this project is to introduce a home which has both the furnishings and the services of a luxury hotel in an urban metropolis. Each unit of the Central Residencies has a view of the century-old Zagreb cathedral, with the position in the very center of the Croatian capitol, makes it the most exclusive residential building in Zagreb.
The best location in the city and the immediate vicinity of the most important city spots - Jelačić Square, Dolac Market, Ribnjak Park, Zrinjevac Park, the streets of Ilica and Gajeva - give added value to its urban character.
It is the place for people who want to live in exclusive residential premises while enjoying all the contents of an urban metropolis.
The idea was to build a home, a sanctuary from the noise of the big city, but with a contemporary feel, refined details and sophisticated ambiance. The building has been conceived as a modern residence with unique apartments and city houses.
In the best tradition of pedestrian passageways in Zagreb, this residential complex has a passageway through the whole building. It crosses the entire block from Jelačić Square, through the building of Gradski Podrum restaurant, to the streets of Cesarčeva and Kurelčeva. Inside, the main attraction is the spacious green garden in the center of the residential complex.
The courtyard garden is an interlude of greenery, the focal point of all the auxiliary contents of the building. On two levels above ground and one below ground, it is surrounded by all the contents which make the complex so exclusive.

The business Tower 123 is a design by invitation for the new and tallest building in Zagreb and in Croatia. The solution for the design has been made after identifying the shortage of quality public space on the location of the Tower and the surrounding district. The analysis revealed the coexistence of two matrices-one modern and urbane, and the other, the remaining rural architecture which has been absorbed by the city space. It was evident that both matrices lacked quality public space.The principal avenue at the entry to Zagreb has been conceived as the main business area, thus giving to the image of the city a thoroughly new appearance.The Business Tower 123 is planned to become the key element of the whole area, with its height of 123m and the advanced DIAGRD structure which is a strong, safe and cost-effective diagonal structural concept. A trapezoidal ground plan is without columns which provides for various ground plan possibilities.The interior space of the tower is shared by business and public areas. The ground floor consists of a tall multi level lobby with access from all directions and different levels; the public facilities - a café and a restaurant are located at mid height of the Tower and on the top floor, where a belvedere with a 360° sightseeing area and a Museum of Zagreb Urban Development have also been planned. The roof area is reserved for a heliport. The Business Tower 123 will be the tallest building in Croatia and in the whole region.

The SE gate project is a proposal for construction a 26-storey office tower. The location of Radnička Road / Domovinski Bridge lies in the southeast of the city of Zagreb, with low-rise buildings on the left bank of the Sava, right next to the construction site of the new Domovinski Bridge. When Domovinski Bridge and Radnička Road are finished, Zagreb will have another access route to the city, the first in 25 years. The new road, as a continuation of Heinzelova Road, will connect Slavonska Avenue, Zagreb ring road and the shortest way to the airport. The rest of the lot should include smaller structures for commercial, catering and business purposes, while parking space will be provided in the underground levels. The entire surroundings, as well as the architecture of low-rise buildings, are adapted to the sports/recreational uses planned in the immediate vicinity. The vertical axis of the office tower is shaped to transform the crystalline form and create interesting and varied spaces in the building itself, while the irregular pattern of front windows reflects the lights of cars passing the bridge and creates shifting images in the River Sava.

For more than fifteen years the so-called business building "Cimos" has been left unfinished on the main Zagreb western avenue at the entry into the town. The new owner has decided to finish the construction by extending the existing layout and building additional floors. The new design has taken into account the existing shape and layout and the requirements of our client. The volume of the building consists of two parts - the higher one is intended for business purposes and the lower one contains a shopping centre and a car park. The new design does not essentially change the initial function of the building. In terms of design, the most important parts are the front and the attractive entrance lobby. The new glass front encircles the building and "softens" the curve of the layout. In addition to their primary function, the vertical blinds along the full height of the building emphasize this "softening" effect. The vertical communication line with the flights of stairs and lifts begins in the lobby. The business premises have an "open space" flexible design and can be defined later, according to specific needs. By building new parts we have also extended the surface of the existing floors and the capacity of the car park at ground level.

Zavrtnica quarter of Zagreb is located in the part where construction activities are thriving and where the site of old factories is being converted into a new business area. The morphology of the area derives from the location (between the Lower Town and the new town parts in the south) The population density is the same as in the Lower Town bloc, and a great number of green open spaces and numerous sports facilities are the same as in the city planning standards for new settlements built in Zagreb in the second half of the 20^th century.The design is the combination of these elements, where four redesigned urban blocs bordered by four traffic roads, crossed by three pedestrian streets, with a lot of greenery and sports and recreation facilities in the centre. The residential units are of a slightly higher standard than usual. All the apartments are spacious, with large glass walls, and on the ground level and public areas the recreational facilities are in a greened area.This type of residential area is intended for business people of various professions and their families who want to live close to their work (the city centre, the business centres in the vicinity), and also enjoy a high standard of living and rich amenities within the area.

The Ibler Passage is located in one of Zagreb lower-town blocks. It ows its name to the renowned architect Drago Ibler who designed the buildings along the Passage between Vlaška and Martićeva streets.The first buildings in this area were built in the first quarter of the 20th century. Most of the buildings have been used for business and shopping purposes, but most of the premises have been deserted over time and left to deteriorate.The new Ibler Passage design has been conceived as an urban catalyst intended to activate and redefine the lower-town context. By its new shape and content, but also by preserving the primary purpose, the space acquires a completely new, metropolitan character. Exclusive business and shopping facilities and cafés and restaurants have been located in the urban structure which is reminiscent of a pedestrian zone. The Passage is also in line with the Zagreb tradition of shopping arcades like Oktogon. The public part of the street is partly a closed space (the existing building with a vault) and partly an open square with a trellis above the end of the passage.Along the part for public use, the existing facilities of varying sizes are intended for shopping purposes.

The reconstruction and extension of the office building of the Kozala cemetery and the design of the square at the entrance to the cemetery. The complex is located at the fringe of a protected historical unit from the art nouveau period. Following an analysis of the task and of the existing situation, the need arose to maximally conceal the unattractive parts from visitors. This is why the new façade of the integral object is treated as a "floating" backdrop to the square, on which the existing greenery is reflected. The existing object is concealed with a screen of greenery, surrounding it from the northern and eastern side, while the western side facing the cemetery forms the entrance atrium - the utility yard. The design of the square in front of the building is a kind of intermezzo on the promenade curve from the direction of the park towards the central promenade in the cemetery, and its material presents a minimal difference from the promenade slabs. The slabs are made from granulated artificial crushed stone which is the universal recognizable element in cemeteries, and processed in three different ways: cast, terrazzo and polished terrazzo.An essential part of the project concept is the greenery. The existing vegetation is carefully harmonized with new plants, together with the new facilities like benches and lighting.The third essential part is the preservation of the flower kiosks, by placing them below the "floating" volume of the house into glass cylinders, thus additionally visually emphasizing the new intervention.
