Port Lands Sports Centre, a new sports complex in downtown Toronto on the shores of Lake Ontario, consists of 4 hockey fields.  It is located at the site of the old harbor area, which is to be transformed into a new neighborhood by the new Lower Don Lands plan. A vertical structure in which halls are located one above the other has been proposed to leave space for further urban development. The project was approved by the municipal authorities and design and construction are expected to continue next year.

The most important element and the inspiration for this project is the location itself, with extremely high quality existing vegetation, which is densely distributed throughout the plot and gradually diluted out toward the eastern edge. The idea of the new Pavilion / Restaurant is to construct a space by mapping the area of high quality trees and to define the remaining territory for construction. By raising this "cut" green territory in the air the space "below" is created. The basic formal and functional element and a seasonal regulator of light is so-called "vegetative"canopy that has been formed along the entire roof edge.
Open atrium spaces which let the light enter all parts of the building and provide visual and physical connections with the natural environment are created to enhance transparency in the area around the trees. The large entrance atrium is the main entrance Plaza, a meeting place, an open terrace and a main entrance to all building spaces. Two main restaurants (canteen and a'la carte) are located next to two main building atriums. The canteen space is oriented to the Forest Park and the sliding doors enable its expansion to the outside environment. The Students association offices and the multifunctional Hall are part of the eastern volume, thus allowing the pavilion to be built in phases.
The small temporary buildings and greenhouses that have always been present throughout the campus as part of the faculty culture have served as inspiration for the accommodation units with ten apartments which have been incorporated into the project concept. The apartments are designed as freestanding volumes raised on the roof for privacy. Zones with different plants which may also serve educational purposes were formed around the apartments, on the roof surface.
The idea is to create a sustainable house, which will contribute to the environment in every respect - with building materials, construction and structure. In designing, a special significance is given to natural lighting and natural space ventilation, which further reduces the energy requirements for artificial lighting, heating and cooling. The roof and its oversized vegetative canopy are excellent regulators of heat, a thick protective cover that keeps the house from cold in winter and heat in summer.
The landscape design is an integral part of the basic architecture concept and the whole plot. The largest part of the roof surface is covered with succulents typical for roof gardens; other areas are organized into regular shapes inspired by plant growing plots. Communication paths and small leisure zones for guests and canteen users are created between the regular shapes.
In the restaurant kitchens approximately 1500 meals will be prepared and served daily. All working and service spaces are organized on one level - the ground floor, to enable the ideal functionality and access to all units. One of the specifics of the kitchen is full contact with the outer space.

Hotel Lone, the first design hotel in Croatia, is situated in the Monte Mulini forest park, Rovinj's most attractive tourist zone, located in the immediate vicinity of the legendary Eden Hotel and the new Monte Mulini hotel. The surrounding grounds and parkland is a unique and protected region of the Monte Mulini forest on the Lone Bay. 
The term design hotel is meant to illustrate this as a space that nurtures the concept of an interesting and functional design. Created by a team of renowned Croatian creatives comprised of a new generation of architects, conceptual artists, product, fashion and graphic designers. The Architects from studio 3LHD were responsible for the design and construction of the hotel building. In addition to the overall architecture, the interiors and the furniture were designed and chosen especially for the hotel in order to achieve a distinct and recognizable identity. The designers from Numen / For Use designed the furniture. The fashion studio I-GLE designed the staff uniforms and other textiles. Artist Silvio Vujičić created graphics on fabrics for the rooms. Installations in the hotel lobby were made by a group of innovative artists: Ivana Franke - "Room for running ghosts"; Silvio Vujičić - "In the hanging garden no one speaks" and the fashion studio I-GLE - textile compositions No1, No2, No3. Studio92 designed the Wellness & Spa center, while Studio Kappo did Landscape design.  The agency Bruketa & Žinić OM conceived and oversaw the visual identity of the hotel.
The hotel's identity is recognized through the external design of the building, with a facade that is defined by dominant horizontal lines - terrace guards designed to evoke the image of slanted boat decks. The building's floorplates contract from level to level going up, creating an elevation that is tapered at all angles. The site's complex terrain with dramatic altitude changes determined the locations of internal facility spaces through a dynamic interweaving of public areas and guest suites at all levels. The specific Y shaped ground plan enabled a: rational & functional organizational scheme; quality views from all rooms; and the grouping of public facilities around a central vertical lobby. The main lobby connects common spaces on all levels, creating a central volume of impressive height and scale with interesting views in and around where all vital functions of the hotel take place.

The city of Split and its waterfront, the Riva, as the paradigm of its history and character, are among the most interesting and most specific sites in the Mediterranean. Split waterfront is an urbanized, public, open and accessible space, 1700 years old. It stands in front of Diocletian's Palace, once the home of the Roman emperor. The modular Roman form of the palace in the latter phase became the framework that shaped the city and directed its expansion; in the same way, the dimensions, materials and form of the modular network of concrete elements laid on Riva directed the arrangement and positions of all the other elements of the public space. The waterfront is the focal point where the city meets the sea. 250 meters long and 55 meters wide, it is also the main public square,
the space for all kinds of social events, promenade by day, parade by night, the site of sport events, religious processions, festivals and celebrations. The project rearticulates the space for all the mentioned events and harmonizes them on a new integrated surface. The solution uses not only architectural design, but also materials, to respond to all the challenges of utilization set before the Riva.
All urban elements and equipment was specially designed for this project and they try to meet local spirit and atmosphere.

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.

In the center of the town of Poreč, important Croatian tourist destination in Istrian peninsula, there is a large vacant space. This large space of the town parking lot has exceptional potential, because of the nearby old town and the Adriatic Sea, the pedestrian hub, the town access roads and the other city contact zones. Clearly defined contact zones make it possible to turn the specified location into a big public urban space. Concept of the Green Forum try to unify and emphasize large and uniform green surface, which is full of content and which will becomes a main public town space. This space is suggesting openness and free flow above and below ground. Below the green area there is a large parking lot, its size varying with seasons. A part of the parking lot is used outside the season as a public indoor space - a Hall for various public events; other parts of the curved surface include business and commercial contents. The public contents above ground are primarily used to meet the public needs of the town, but also to retain citizens and visitors. The Park has a uniform shape and enough functional complexity to be used throughout the year. Terraces of catering facilities, courts for squash, beach volleyball and basketball, a children´s playground, as well as various other attractors, offer diverse space uses and experiences to visitors. The tourism development strategy of Istria defines Poreč as an entertainment town. This concept of the Green Forum goes hand in hand with that strategy and makes such a public space suitable for all the important events - fairs, carnivals, celebrations, festivals, open-air concerts, processions... This project will turn Poreč into a major fair venue in the region.

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.

The context of Dubrovnik is always burdened by the iconic image of the old city. The picture/postcard known everywhere is a brand and a money-making fact that will always bring people/tourists in to the city. Independent and free Dubrovnik Republic was famous through history not only by its physical/built environment but also by its intellectual and cultural elite. In the past a lot of builders (M.Michelozzi, J.Dalamtinac), scientists (R.Boskovic, I.Supek) and poets (M.Drzic, I.Gundulic) were citizens of Dubrovnik and their contribution was important not only for the city but to the whole Europe and the world. That kind of cultural/intellectual layering is missing today. Nowadays, (mass) tourism is a fact and one of the most important economical contributors to the local and Croatian budget. That fact and the "problem" of prolonging the money fruitful summer is a subject of our project. Project proposes the reconstruction of the abandoned old hospital site by inserting new educational and public program in breathtaking Natural Park thus creating new cultural density and social structure for the old city of Dubrovnik. A beautiful pine forest 200 meters from old city on the natural sea cliff 50 meters above the sea and 30m high boles and green treetops above are like green clouds covering the whole site. There are abandoned hospital facilities - pavilions in the park, some housing, old church with a graveyard, public beach on the cliffs and small Public Park on the site today. By transformation of the site and opening of this whole area we are increasing open/public spaces of Dubrovnik and by introducing New (Intellectual/Cultural) Tourism we are making space for planed University facilities: faculties of Humanistic and Social Sciences, Music and Art.

The Monte Mulini zone is the most attractive tourist area of Rovinj, characterised by a spacious park and hotel architecture from the 1970s, which has lost its designed exclusive character over the years. Following a detailed analysis of the greater town area and the Monte Mulini zone itself, building and non-building surfaces have been defined, based on the evaluation of the given natural and already built surfaces, and on the wish to maximally enhance the quality of the environment. This has resulted in the design which follows the patterns of space and events, and has five characteristic settings: Setting 01 - the park area (the most valuable part of the zone, with paths; Setting 02 - the waterfront-beach (extended town promenade with minimum new facilities); Setting 03 - the "marina" with the new urban "deck" (town meeting point); Setting 04 - the interspace, a meeting place, a place of pleasure and entertainment (recreation and leisure area); Setting 05 - accommodation zone (new and old hotels)This master plan sets the basis for the development of the whole tourist resort and for upgrading the standards of all the facilities, ranging from the hotels, to catering and services.
