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.

By planning the new Borongaj Campus we are also creating a development plan for a new part of the city, and we need to resolve two important issues: how to create a new quality part of the city and what will be a major catalyst for its development. 3LHD has proposed the creation of the concept of clusters in a green forest, clearly defining the "empty" natural areas, borders, infrastructure and hierarchy. Each cluster has a matrix and its specificity - the public space, public buildings and a formed façade. In this way we gradually develop a plan for the Green Campus Borongaj.

The competition for an architectural and urban design of City of Poreč sub-centre (Špadići - Mali Maj - Veli Maj) was looking for a new residential area with sports and business facilities that will become a new gravitational area of the northern part of town. The site is situated north of the city, in a mixed use zone, bordered by residential and tourist quarters very close to the sea and the beach. The project is based on the concept of analysis of the morphology of the Istrian village and the topography of the site situated favorably toward the sea. The analysis allowed the formation of eight smaller clusters and a separate sports complex arranged in a mosaic of a "natural" structure, and a new urban matrix developed entirely in accordance with local features, that allows the construction in phases. The residential buildings planned in the project are at most three storey high with passages in the ground floors, typologically between family houses and apartment buildings. The main pedestrian routes and public facilities on the ground floors are placed between the clusters surrounding the interior thematic courtyards. Using pedestrian domination and exclusively pedestrian streets we want to create a place of social encounters so typical for the Mediterranean. Small urban squares are also formed on the crossroads of the pedestrian streets, and the loose structure opens views towards the sea and penetrates into the internal blocks developing Green Courtyards. These green oases are small theme "parks" and a contemporary interpretation of sinkholes and dry stone walls. They take on a variety of contents in the function of surrounding construction - from high greenery, playgrounds, gardens and the possibility of creating small local pools.

Identification of elements and recognition of the city's extremely linear character, which has developed alongside of dominant traffic paths by following the terrain's configuration, are motifs and inspirations used for the new project of Draga in Šibenik.
Attributes of its identity and physical and urban qualities of the city are the most important elements this project deals with, and a basic impulse and inspiration for the concept of the location's further development. The proposed plan allows the continued development of a much wider area than the one set in the competition program.
Since the recent construction follows the main traffic arteries, the treatment of dense urban structure, the new eastern section structure and their relationship is intentionally strengthened. By connecting and "naturally" continuing the main linear directions of existing streets from west and east, we create a new grid, which completely defines the new space and the newly planned structure. Urban terraces, used for developing new blocks, are created by following the natural terrain configuration and descent to the sea line. They are woven in to the city's memory, connected to pedestrian transverses, small alleys and squares - piaceta's that make up the new public space. Five verticals ascending from these new blocks are the main accents of the new space. They continue Šibenik's tradition of verticals, from the church towers to the first residential skyscrapers ("red" and "blue").
Draga is located in the central area of Šibenik and as such represents a potential for developing a new administrative and cultural city center. The zone already accommodates a number of public, administrative and cultural facilities. Increased density and variety of content, so-called urban mix of public, residential, tourist, commercial, cultural and business facilities extends the life of the zone to 24 hours a day. This high density is also a prerequisite for the development of the current coast which will open the city to the sea and become a new urban waterfront. The bus station and the market are transferred to a new location in the wider zone and new space is created for the implementation of more appropriate content.
The design proposes linear elongated blocks of buildings located on the borders of the transition from higher to lower plateau / terrace, primarily with two street facades. The diversity in façade treatment and volume shaping stimulated and inspired by the pace of the streets and Šibenik's old town core, contributes to a harmonious volume, street fronts, passages and cascades rhythm.

A regular urban raster has always been the dominant motif in the planning of Zadar, an element of regulation for the whole area and the distinctive symbol of the city. Authority of that existing grid in the context of this project is imposed as an essential element in the development of the entire area of the future campus.
The University library is the first significant new building, which plans to build in the area of the new Zadar campus. It must function in the surroundings it will be located today, not only in the ideal scheme conceived in the future. One of the main tasks of a modern library is the social obligation to house not only books but also the information media and allow them space for explosive multiplication.
The urban placement of the building volume in the south-eastern edge of the parcel and the determined urban parameters completely define the buildings character. Envelope in which the default library program must be made is also the default container frame.
The main communication axis is set in an east ? west direction, from the park to the street and that clearly defines the main entrance (from the park) and opens the first floor space in that direction. After that large passage which is the main meeting and communication place the space completely opens and expands vertically upwards.
The openness and visual accessibility of each gallery floor and the representative public staircase, which we called Zoranic stairs, climb to the symbolic "mountain of knowledge", as Petar Zoranic climbs in the allegorical epic Mountains.
Due to the Mediterranean climate, but also because of the physical protection of the library content, the simple inner volume of the introverted house required a simple expression of the external volume and the library facade. Vertical stacking of the facade layers, with a space between them, makes the library more closed from the outside, but these layers also cancel out, dematerialize its real dimensions.
Except in a pile of stacked books, the inspiration for the façade was found in local materials. One of the most characteristic stones in the local climate is Benkovac stone. It is very specific, simple, popular and in use for centuries. Its most numerous use is in the form of a panel, usually randomly stacked, and it can always be found stacked on a pile.

The idea behind the project with the work name SWS 2015 is to enrich the southern part of Split with the urban infrastructure regulation matrix and reaffirm the possibility of merging that part of the city with the shoreline.
The location on the Split's shoreline that the potential to accomplish a quality urban contact with the sea, the intensity of which would dramatically influence the redefining of spatial relations on a much greater scale than those defined by the competition program.  A similar potential on the Split's peninsula is possible only on the northern part of the city towards Solin, which is more suitable for designing a contemporary business zone when the need for such a program occurs.
The fundamental starting point of this project is to bring out the city to the sea in the full intensity - to be on the sea and functionally connected with the sea, in a way accomplished by todays leading European and world cities, by implementing thoughtful and long-term policies of urban development - like Barcelona, Valencia, Rotterdam, Sidney etc.

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.

Jarun Bridge is a new landmark that brings the city of Zagreb closer to the river Sava and places it in the company of European capitals. Its design reflects the place and the time of its origin. Its longitudinal arrangement was chosen according to the principles of design, effectiveness and optimal integration into the surrounding area. The river Sava was bridged over with one span and thus a bridge was created that makes evident the current global potential of Croatian builders. A bridge with arches is an archetypal bridge that, in a type with an arch above the roadway, presents the optimal solution for the flat area around it. On one hand this solution is not new, as there are no new forms in bridge construction these days, but on the other hand this design is original. The reason behind choosing an arch as the main construction and design element is primarily in the two equivalent banks that it connects. The symmetry of the arch always refers to the balance between the two banks, and in this case they are equally important as opposed to some other locations where that is not the case. The new approach to designing the arch is apparent in the different design of the cross-section of all girders and construction elements.

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 decision to build the Rovinj new bus terminal on the Boksiti site has multiple significance. One of the most important is that the location of the new terminal and public garage will significantly relieve traffic coming into the old city core from the south east. The idea is to integrate the terminal into the town tissue by placing most of it below ground level and adapting the rest to the environment. The programme requires a very complex, high intensity communication solution (bus, car, pedestrian) with the emphasis on safety and functionality. The infrastructure building consisting of a three-level public garage and a one-level bus terminal provides the facilities with the purpose to establish a dialogue with all the buildings surrounding it. These facilities (catering, services, shopping and business) will make this part of the town busy 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. By designing the facilities in three volumes, the size and the volume of each object are adapted to the buildings surrounding it and to the set context.

The subject of this development study is the coastal area of Bale municipality which covers the surface area of 450 ha. The pristine natural beauty of the Bale shoreline is undeniable. Its well-indented coast, numerous coves and beaches, lush vegetation, scenic rural landscapes; and architectural and archeological heritage make the region one of Croatia´s best-kept secrets.
Bale Shoreline Development Study is based on the concept of active yet environmentally friendly tourism. Special attention is paid to the positioning and sizing of each proposed facility due to area´s unique features.
The area will cater to both day visitors and longer-term tourists who will be staying in local accommodation facilities. The entire shoreline zone is planned as a high-end destination of four- to five-star category. There will be two points for entering the Bale shoreline and the main means of public transport will be the electric train, as well as electric carts and bicycles.
All the facilities will be opened to the public and there will be no private lodgings. The planned accommodation capacity of the entire zone is 1,800 beds, with an ability to receive approximately 3,000 day visitors. This results in a low-density tourism where each person enjoys approximately 0.1 ha and 1.8 sqm of the shore all to oneselves.
The most of the accommodation facilities are planned to be in three new hotels positioned 700 meters off the coast.
Three recreational-entertainment centers will be geared toward different consumers
The coast will be a place for three new recreational-entertainment centers, and the valley will be a place for scientific-educational center. A signature 18-hole golf course is proposed for the Barbariga fortification area, fortification Benedetto will be retrofitted into a cultural center, and Fort Forno will be converted into a premium-priced hotel and spa center. Designing plans also include a botanical garden, beaches, an equestrian center, an airfield for hot-air balloons, a diving center, and a reconstruction of an olive grove from the 16th century, small churches and lookouts.
The goal is to offer a series of diverse yet complimentary activities, with programs and architecture that fit into the cultural context and environment of the Bale shoreline.

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.

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 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.

With its extraordinary natural and cultural assets Bale Municipality can be developed in a variety of ways that would lead to improving the region and the well-being of its inhabitants ? elaborates this strategic development. The main interest of the local population was to protect the coastline from overbuilding and to find a strategy for the sustainable development of the whole district.
These are the proposed elements of building the brand identity found in the region:
- Bale: the region of native Buža olives
- Bale: the region of dinosaurs and paleontology
- Bale: the region of unique traditional lodgings - stancija
- Bale: the region of butterflies
- Bale: residence of the Venetian Bembo family
The first phase of the study has been conceived as a commercial about the vision for the future of Bale. It consists of six stories presenting new capacities incorporated into the environment, about fortresses and inns converted into tourist accommodation, about the protected medieval town of Bale, the dinosaur museum and theme park, recreation zones and a multimedia centre dedicated to the butterflies. The population, the local authorities and the Ministry of Zoning and Physical Planning of the Republic of Croatia have fully accepted the study and the development plan it provides. We believe that it presents one of the possible development models that can also be applied to other local communities throughout Croatia. The plan protects the natural landscape and its resources and does not encourage major new construction projects. Tourism and progress are not a process which can be stopped, however they can be controlled.

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.

The Memorial Bridge is a spatial intervention and an urban public object, a construction with tactile properties and a symbolic object. It is a pedestrian bridge that embodies the utilitarian function and a memory of the Croatian war of Independence veterans, a place of memory and piety, but also a social gathering and socializing spot. It is located in the center of Rijeka, on the channel which separates the historic city center from the former port, at one of the most potent sites for future construction (it is currently occupied by a parking lot, in the future it will become a park).
The bridge is designed as an extremely thin plate (65cm) connecting the two banks of the channel in a characteristic L-shape, it extends across the channel and ends with a monumental vertical accent. The definition of the public space was achieved only through the structure of the bridge itself, which at the same time must be recognized as a memorial object.
A four year long research resulted in the construction specially designed and manufactured exclusively for this project. Each part of the bridge was an industrially designed and manufactured product that was assembled on site. The 150 tons heavy steel bridge structure was produced in a local shipyard, and carried by sea in one piece on a specially designed barge to the location. As the Memorial Bridge had to pass under two existing bridges on its way to the site, the barge was designed so that it can sink at the time of lowest water levels and go under the existing bridges with its burden.
This urban public hybrid has changed the vista of the city (in the material as well as mental sense) and has achieved its goal of being a Memorial Bridge.
