Introductory word 

Taking care of your housing situation is one of the more important things you will 

have to deal with in life, and it brings a lot of doubts and second thoughts, which 

are unavoidable at that long and sometimes torturous road. Buying an apartment or 

building a house Hiring a professional or a local “handyman” Which licenses must 

be obtained before you start building All these questions are guaranteed to come 

across and you will find yourself desperately looking for an answer. If you decide to 

go ahead with building your home, make sure you read this month’s cover story. We 

bring you a lot of useful tips concerning the required paperwork and the very process 

of construction. 

And if you want a confirmation that construction is one of the most profitable business 

fields, look no further than our Investments section. We present the ten skyscrapers 

that haven’t even been started yet, but once they are completed, they are 

guaranteed to radically change the view of the Croatian capital and finally, at least 

as far as height is concerned, ascend it above the average level of provincialism. 

We also bring you the overview of the five top-awarded projects in the design contest 

for the new passenger terminal at the Zagreb Airport. The competition was so 

fierce that the question of the winner was somewhat irrelevant, as it was clear from 

the start that 

Our section 

the new airport would look spectacular. 

Interiors contains advice on how to decorate large 

kitchens and avoid turning them into cold and empty 

parts of your home. 

Those of you who bring your work to your home will 

not want to miss our suggestions on how to decorate 

your home office. If you spend time in a lovely and 

well-organized space, you will be a lot more productive...

Izgradnja doma - korak 

blie ostvarenju sna 

Na što bi sve laik, graditelj početnik, trebao obratiti pozornost prije pristupanja gradnji vlastita 

doma Donosimo kratak pregled novosti u Zakonu o gradnji te nekoliko sugestija vezanih 

uz odabir materijala, izvođača radova i druge bitne stavke za gradnju 

Piše: Nikola Čelan 

Foto: Arhiva DalCase 

Prije bilo kakve izgradnje potrebno je da investitor 

pribavi sve potrebne dozvole. Zakon o gradnji, 

osim stavki vezanih uz pribavljanje dozvola, definira 

propise vezane uz mehaničku otpornost i 

stabilnost objekta, zaštitu od požara, higijenu, zdravlje i 

zaštitu okoliša, sigurnost u korištenju, zaštitu od buke, uštedu 

energije i toplinsku zaštitu, nesmetan pristup i kretanje 

u građevini, tehnička svojstva građevnih proizvoda, tehničke 

propise te, na koncu, tehničko dopuštenje. 

14 

Pribavljanje dozvola 

U poglavlju građenja građevine, Zakon se na početku 

bavi dozvolama i tu se imaju na umu dvije glavne kategorije: 

građevinska dozvola i tijela nadležna za izdavanje, 

tijela graditeljstva, te još i načelna dozvola koja se 

odnosi na složenije građevine. Prema načelnoj dozvoli, 

naknadno se izdaju građevinske dozvole za određene 

elemente tih građevina. Koliko je važno u startu povesti 

računa o dozvolama, najbolje govori činjenica kako je

Graditi sam ili angažirati stručnjaka / 

Build alone or hire a professional 

Dobar projekt je jako bitan / Good project is very important 

kazna za neishođenje potrebnih dozvola radikalna, a to 

je rušenje. Rušenje se provodi ako se gradi na mjestu i na 

način da se takva gradnja ne može uskladiti s uvjetima 

prostornog plana (pri čemu je ponajprije riječ o gabaritima 

građevine). Ruši se i kod gradnje bez građevinske 

dozvole, osim kad je u postupku njezino ishođenje. 

Što bi, dakle, bila građevinska dozvola Građevinskom 

dozvolom se utvrđuje da je glavni, odnosno idejni projekt, 

izrađen u skladu s propisanim i utvrđenim uvjetima 

koje mora ispunjavati građevina na određenoj lokaciji i 

da su ispunjeni uvjeti iz Zakona o gradnji. Glavni projekt 

je prilog i sastavni dio građevinske dozvole, što na projektu 

mora biti naznačeno i ovjereno potpisom službenika 

i pečatom tijela koje je tu dozvolu izdalo. 

Sam zahtjev za građevinsku dozvolu podnosi investitor. 

Njoj se prilaže dokaz o pravu građenja na određenoj 

nekretnini, zatim detalji glavnog projekta te potvrda o 

nostrifikaciji (usklađenosti s prostornim planom). Postupak 

je detaljno opisan u Zakonu o gradnji. Ako su ispunjeni 

uvjeti propisani ovim Zakonom, tijelo graditeljstva 

dužno je izdati građevinsku dozvolu u roku od 30 dana 

od dana primitka urednog zahtjeva. Iznimno, kad je 

posrijedi građevina za koju građevinsku dozvolu izdaje 

Ministarstvo zaštite okoliša i prostornog uređenja, ona se 

izdaje u roku od 60 dana od dana primitka urednog zahtjeva. 

Najbolje je na vrijeme pribaviti sve dozvole, ne 

tijekom same gradnje, jer se kazna naplaćuje bez obzira 

na eventualnu prijavu. Referent koji na kraju treba izdati 

dozvolu u sklopu postupka izdavanja izlazi na teren i 

određuje pripadajuću kaznu. Također je to potrebno 

pravodobno obaviti zbog priključka struje. Po zakonu, 

HEP ne može dati priključak bez valjane dozvole. 

Cijena građevinske dozvole ovisi o stupnju opremljenosti 

parcele, tj. pristupa do parcele. Cijena se razlikuje u 

ovisnosti o tome ima li na cesti javne rasvjete, je li pristup 

asfaltiran, ima li kanalizacije. Nadalje, ona ovisi o lokaciji 

gdje se gradi i o gabaritima objekta. Cijene priključka, 

pak, ovise o lokalnim distributerima, dakle, nema jedinstvene 

tarife za teritorij cijele države. 

Bitno je napomenuti kako novi Zakon o prostornom uređenju 

i gradnji donosi smanjenje broja dozvola potrebnih 

za građenje i uporabu građevina. Zakon je stupio 

na snagu prošle godine, a njime su povezana upravna 

područja prostornog uređenja i gradnje u jedinstven sustav. 

Tako se u Zakonu navode brojne korisne zakonodavne 

intervencije. Primjerice, za građenje stambenog 

objekta površine do 400 četvornih metara i zgrade za 

obavljanje poljoprivrednih djelatnosti površine do 600 

kvadrata, umjesto lokacijske i građevinske dozvole, od 

trenutka implementacije novog zakona potrebno je 

15

Tema broja 

Kazna za neishođenje potrebnih dozvola je 

radikalna / The penalty for failing to obtain 

necessary licenses is radical 

samo rješenje o uvjetima građenja. U vezi s građevnim 

sporom, Zakon kaže kako susjedi mogu zaustaviti gradnju, 

ali plaćaju odštetu ako izgube spor. Novim se zakonom, 

nadalje, decentralizira izdavanje dozvola. Od 1. 

siječnja 2008., dozvole, umjesto ureda državne uprave, 

izdaju upravna tijela velikih gradova i gradova sjedišta 

županija, svaki na svom području, a na preostalom području 

županijska upravna tijela. 

Praktični savjeti – općenito 

Nakon informiranja o papirologiji i ostvarivanja svih potrebnih 

zakonskih preduvjeta, pristupamo samoj gradnji. 

No prije gradnje stručnjaci skreću pažnju na jedan bitan 

element u procesu, gestu, preciznije, a to bi bilo planiranje. 

Pod parolom “planovi su ništa, planiranje je sve“ 

želi se reći kako je primarni plan gradnje podložan izmjenama 

tijekom samog procesa. Planiranje, međutim, 

osigurava utvrđivanje tijeka, protoka informacija između 

svih subjekata i faza gradnje. Pritom je u startu važno 

odrediti hoće li se angažirati izvođača radova ili će se 

zasukati rukave i prionuti na posao oslanjajući se na vlastita 

sredstva, znanje i snalažljivost. 

Ako se odlučimo na takav način gradnje, treba poraditi 

na usklađivanju rada i politike radnika različitih tvrtki, jer 

u dosta slučajeva dolazi do “efekta ping-pong loptice“ 

kod pogrešaka i promašaja u projektu. 

16 

Za početak je potrebno poznavanje osnovnih materijala 

u građenju i njihovih karakteristika kod spajanja s drugim 

materijalima, primjerice cigle s knaufom i slično. 

Kad jedan izvođač počne s radom, nastoji završiti posao 

kako bi mogao ići na drugi, međutim kod gradnje 

treba znati da određene radnje, poput postavljanja 

vodoinstalacije, grijanja/hlađenja i strujnih radova, trebaju 

teći zajedno. Ako te radnje nisu usklađene, dolazi 

do naknadnih radova, tj. rušenja, oslabljivanja zidova. 

Primjerice, to se događa u slučaju plasiranja rupe za 

vodoinstalaciju od 3 cm u pregradnu ciglu od 7-8 cm 

do pola dužine. Taj zid tada postaje značajno oslabljen, 

pogotovo ako instrument malo pobjegne, što se često 

dogodi, pa se probije još jedna pregrada. Neadekvatnu 

ciglu smo u ovom slučaju sami odabrali, kao laici. 

Što se tiče izolacije kuće i usklađivanja estriha (izolacija 

poda stiroporom i glazurom), postavljanja prozora, fasade 

i obrade dijelova oko prozora, i tu se može ponuditi 

nekoliko instant savjeta. Po nekim proračunima, za naše 

podneblje postoji idealan omjer stiropora i svih ostalih pratećih 

materijala, koji iznosi 5 cm kod vrijednosti stiropora. 

Kod fasade je bitno da se odaberu materijali renomiranih 

proizvođača te da se radnik pridržava normi prigodom 

miješanja i nanošenja koje je postavio proizvođač. 

Bitan detalj kod dovršenja fasade jest obrada dijela oko 

prozora. Naime, kako bismo dobili izolaciju kao na fa-

sadi, potrebno je stiroporom doći do okvira prozora, jer 

inače dobivamo dio bez izolacije. Tako se na tim mjestima 

javljaju gubici, a poslije i gljivice oko prozora kao 

rezultat prodora vlage. 

Kad smo kod prozora, trebalo bi razmišljati i o ljetnim danima 

i komarcima te predvidjeti i prozorske mreže. Njih 

je u varijanti prozora s roletom bolje postaviti prije (danas 

postoje i opcije gdje se u paketu nabavljaju roleta 

i mreža za komarce), umjesto naknadno. Najbolje ih je 

postaviti izvana ako ne ostane mjesta između vodilice 

rolete i prozora. 

Kod postavljanja estriha, posebno treba paziti na podnu 

konstrukciju. Potrebno je znati koje će se vrste podnih 

obloga koristiti jer su njihove debljine različite (debljina 

parketa je 14 ili 21 mm, keramike 10-14 mm). Zatim treba 

uračunati i ljepila/mase čija se debljine kreću od 1 do 3 

mm. Prije svega je to bitno zbog prijelaza s pločica na 

parket kako ne bi došlo do razlike od 5 do 10 mm. 

Kod ugradnje vrata, pak, treba paziti na ispravno određene 

visine postavljanja. U protivnome može doći do 

prodiranja kiše u prostor. U još težem slučaju, trebat će 

preskakati prag pri svakom ulasku. 

Opeke Porotherm iz Wienerbergera / Porotherm brick 

from Wienerberger 

Angažman izvođača – sve u jednome 

U suprotnom slučaju, korak s kojim počinje i završava 

svaka gradnja sastoji se od angažiranja tijela, tj. tvrtke 

koja će se pobrinuti za realizaciju zamišljenoga. 

Tvrtke poput Wienerbergera ne samo da nude inovacije 

na području građenja, adekvatnih materijala, nego 

su sklone ponuditi i savjetodavnu pomoć, asistenciju na 

području gradnje. Materijali poput opeke Porotherm 

kod Wienerbergera proširuju se na osmišljene stropne sustave, 

sve do kompletnih sustava izgradnje (kuće Porotherm), 

a sve u svrhu uštede energije, podizanja kvalitete 

življenja i zaštite kućnog budžeta. Wienerbergerov “Vodič 

za gradnju“ nudi osmišljen sustav pomoći kod gradnje, 

počevši od organizacije gradilišta, iskopa, zidarskih 

radova, a posebnost svoje ponude zaokružuje i ponudom 

materijala za sve pojedine segmente gradnje, poput 

primjerice TERCA programa klinker opeke, koji podrazumijeva 

vrlo tvrd materijal, podjednako izdržljiv na 

fizička i kemijska opterećenja, a primjenjiv podjednako 

na faze gradnje od konstrukcijskih sustava višeslojnih 

vanjskih zidova, nosivih zidova, međuslojeva toplinske 

izolacije, fasadnu opeku te podne površine. 

Možemo zaključiti kako je proces izgradnje kuće, doma 

i građevine bilo koje druge namjene poput pristupanja 

prašumi papira, institucija i propisa, za koje je iluzorno 

vjerovati kako se mogu makar ovlašno dotaknuti jednim 

novinskim člankom. Ono što je potrebno sugerirati na 

kraju jest činjenica kako je za početak gradnje, kao i 

svake druge aktivnosti u informacijskoj eri, osim ispravnog 

odabira institucionalnog partnera, najbolje konzultirati 

adrese i priručnike kojih u nas ima dovoljno. Osim 

spomenutih Wienerbergerovih stranica, tu su još i specijalizirani 

sajtovi poput gradimo.hr te različiti forumi na 

kojima je moguće dobiti odgovore na konkretna pitanja 

vezana uz gradnju te rješenja problema s kojima se 

susrećemo u samom procesu. No, najvažnije je krenuti, 

tržište građevnih usluga je i u nas već dosegnulo stupanj 

zrelosti potreban za lagodnu i bezbrižnu realizaciju, oživotvorenje 

sna o izgradnji vlastita doma.

Cover story 

Building a Home - One Step 

Closer to Fulfilling Your Dream 

What are the things a completely inexperienced person should pay attention to before starting 

to build his home We bring you a quick overview of things that have been added to the Law 

on Construction, as well as several suggestions concerning the choice of material, construction 

performers and other important things in the process of building a home 

Written by: Nikola Čelan

Before starting the construction process, it is the investor’s 

responsibility to obtain all the necessary licenses. Besides 

the items that describe that process, the Law on Construction 

also defines regulations concerning mechanical 

resistibility and stability, fire protection, hygiene, environmental 

health and protection, usage safety, noise 

regulation, energy preservation, heat protection, unbothered 

access and movement in the building, technical 

18 

characteristics of construction products, technical regulations, 

and, finally, the technical permission. 

Obtaining the Licenses 

In the chapter that deals with the process of constructing 

the building, the Law touches on the topic of licenses, 

and it distinguishes two categories: construction licenses 

and departments that are authorized to issue them – con-

struction departments, and it also explains 

the process of issuing principal licenses 

that are required for more complex buildings. 

According to the principal license, 

construction licenses for certain elements 

of those buildings are being issued subsequently. 

If we want to stress the 

importance of dealing with licenses 

right at the beginning of the 

process, we merely must mention 

the fact that the penalty 

for failing to obtain necessary 

licenses is radical, and that 

is – demolition. It is enforced if the 

manner of construction cannot 

be coordinated with the existing 

physical plan (this especially relates 

to the building’s size). The penalty 

for starting to build without the 

construction license is also demolition, except in 

cases when the obtaining process is already underway. 

So what exactly is a construction license It establishes 

that the main designed project agrees with all the listed 

and confirmed conditions that a building on a certain location 

must fulfil, and it also confirms that all conditions 

from the Law on Construction have been honoured. The 

main project is attached to the construction license and 

it makes for its integral part, which requires a specified 

and certified signature from an official person on the project, 

as well as a stamp from the governing body that 

issued that license. 

The request for a construction license is applied by the 

investor. It features evidence that the real estate in question 

has every right to be built, as well as main project 

details and the nostrification certificate (which confirms 

that the project agrees with the physical plan). The following 

stages of the procedure are also carefully described 

in the Law on Construction. If all conditions of this 

law are fulfilled, the construction department must issue 

the construction license within 30 days from the date 

they received the appropriate request. In specific cases 

when the Ministry of Environmental Protection and Physical 

Planning issues that license, the process is expended 

to 60 days from the day the appropriate request was 

applied. Practical wisdom says that the best thing to do 

is obtain all licenses immediately, rather than during the 

construction process, because the penalty is charged 

regardless of the application. The clerk that eventually 

issues the license must visit the construction site and determines 

the appropriate penalty. Another reason why 

it is best to obtain the license immediately is electricity 

connection. According to the law, HEP (the Croatian 

national electricity company) mustn’t approve the 

connection without the appropriate license. 

The price of the construction license depends on how 

the parcel is equipped and if it has quality access. The 

price also depends on whether the access road features 

public lighting, whether it is asphalted and whether it 

has sewerage. It further depends on the construction location 

and the object’s size. The connection prices depend 

on local distributors, as the entire country doesn’t 

have an equal price rate. 

It is important to point out that the new 

Law on Physical Planning and Construction 

reduces the number of required licenses that 

allow you to construct and use a building. The 

Law came into power last year, and it connects 

administrative departments of physical planning 

and construction into one single system. The Law states 

numerous useful legislative interventions. For example, 

ever since the law has been implemented, the acts of 

building a residential object under 400 square metres 

and an agricultural object under 600 square metres 

don’t require location and construction licenses, but 

merely a certificate that confirms the fulfilled construction 

conditions. As far as construction disputes go, the Law 

states that neighbours can put the construction process 

on hold, but they have to pay damages if they lose the 

process. The new law also puts an end to centralized 

license issuing. Ever since January 1st 2008, the licenses 

are not issued by the offices of central government, but 

rather by administrative departments of large cities and 

county centres, or by the counties’ governing bodies. 

Practical Advice – General Description 

After getting informed on all the paperwork and fulfilling 

the necessary legal prerequisites, it is time to begin 

the process of construction. But before you do that, 

experts advise you not to forget a very important element 

in this process, and that is planning. Under the 

parole “plans are nothing, planning is everything”, 

they point out that the primary construction plan can 

be submitted to change during the process itself. Planning, 

however, ensures the correct flow of information 

between all subjects and phases of construction. With 

that being said, one of the main choices you have to 

make is decide between construction performers 

or the process 

of rolling those 

sleeves yourself 

and starting 

19

Trud se u konačnici uvijek isplati / 

Effort is worthwhile at the end 

the construction based on your own means, knowledge 

and adaptability. 

For those who decide to embrace this construction method, 

it is important to coordinate the work and policies 

of workers from different companies, because it is not 

unusual to witness “the ping-pong effect” that leads to 

mistakes and miscalculations in the project. 

For starters, it is crucial to become acquainted with basic 

construction materials and their characteristics when 

they’re combined with different materials, like combining 

bricks with knauf etc. 

When one constructor begins his work, his goal is to wrap 

it up so he could move to his next job, but the construction 

process demands certain parts of the work, such as 

plumbing installation, heating/cooling and electricity 

installation, must be performed simultaneously. If those 

jobs aren’t coordinated, additional work will be required, 

such as demolition and wall relieving. For example, this is 

known to happen when placing a 3-cm plumbing hole 

into a 7-8-cm partition brick till the half of its length. That 

wall is bound to become a lot less strong, especially if the 

instrument isn’t absolutely precise and it breaks another 

20 

partition, which is also known to happen. The inadequate 

brick was chosen by us, construction beginners. 

As far as house isolation and coordinating floor screed 

(floor isolation with Styrofoam and glazing), installing the 

windows, facades and processing parts around the windows, 

we can also offer several pieces of instant advice. 

According to some calculations, our area requires the 

ideal ratio of Styrofoam and all accompanying materials, 

which comes at around 5 centimetres of Styrofoam 

value. 

When dealing with the facade, it is important to choose 

materials from established manufacturers, and the workers 

must obey the manufacturers’ norms when mixing 

and applying the materials. Processing the parts around 

the windows is an important element of the facade construction. 

In order to achieve the same type of isolation 

like on the facade, it is necessary to reach the window 

frames with Styrofoam, because the other option is having 

a section without any isolation. Those sections cause 

significant losses, as that is followed by the appearance 

of mould around the windows, courtesy of increased moisture.

Speaking of windows, we recommend anticipating summer 

days and mosquitoes with window nettings. When 

combined with window shutters, it is preferable to put 

them on first (you can also find options where shutters 

and mosquito nettings are sold as a package), instead 

of doing it subsequently. The best option is putting them 

on the outside, unless there is some extra-room between 

the shutter slide and the window. 

While installing the floor screed, you must take the 

construction of the floor into special consideration. It 

is imperative to be familiar with different types of floor 

covers, because their diameter is not identical (parquets’ 

diameters range from 14 to 21 millimetres, 10-14 millimetres 

for ceramics). That doesn’t include the glue/ 

mass, as that is usually 1 to 3 millimetres thick. That is 

primarily important to prevent a difference of 5 to 10 

millimetres at the part where tiles end and parquet begins. 

While putting the door up, pay special attention 

to the correct installing height, or you might cause rain 

flooding into your home. Even worse, you might find yourself 

hopping over the doorstep every time you enter 

the house. 

Hiring the Constructor – All the Pieces of the Puzzle 

If that is not the case, then every construction starts and 

finishes with the act of hiring a company that will fulfil 

the designed plan. Companies like Wienerberger offer 

innovations in the fields of construction and adequate 

materials, but they also offer some useful advice and 

assistance in the construction process. Wienerberger expands 

materials like Porotherm brick to designed ceiling 

systems, and it leads all the way to complete construction 

systems (Porotherm houses) with the purpose of saving 

energy, raising the quality of life and protecting the 

home budget. Wienerberger’s “Construction Guide” offers 

a designed system of construction assistance, starting 

with the way you organize the site, perform excavation 

and bricklaying, while the special touch is provided 

to their offer by supplying materials for all construction 

segments, such as the TERCA programme for clinker 

bricks that assume very hard material, which is equally 

resistant to physical and chemical aggravation, while 

being just as applicable in all segments like construction 

systems of multi-layered outside walls, bearing walls, 

intermediate layers of heat isolation, facade bricks and 

the area under the surface. 

We can conclude that the process of building a home, 

house or building slightly resembles a jungle of legal 

acts, institutions and regulations that cannot possibly 

be covered by one single magazine article. We can 

only suggest that the start of the construction process, 

like any other activity in the computerized era, greatly 

depends on choosing the right institutional partner, so 

we advise you to consult some of many addresses and 

manuals that exist in our area. Besides the abovementioned 

Wienerberger site, you can also visit specialized 

sites like gradimo.hr, or some of the various forums that 

can provide you with answers to specific questions related 

to construction and problems we encounter in that 

field. But the most important thing is getting started, and 

it must be said that our construction market has already 

reached that point of maturity that guarantees smooth 

and care-free realization of the dream of building your 

own home.

Prvo mjesto - rad hrvatskih arhitekata Branka Kincla i 

Velimira Nediharta / First place - project by Croatian 

architects Branko Kincl and Velimir Nedihart 

Nova zraèna luka ipak 

po hrvatskom projektu 

Iako je na natječaj pristiglo 17 radova velikih arhitektonskih timova, izabrano je zanimljivo rješenje 

hrvatskih arhitekata Branka Kincla i Velimira Nediharta, kojima je na projektu pomogao 

Institut građevinarstva Hrvatske. Predstavljamo vam prvih pet nagrađenim radova, jer ipak su 

odlučivale samo nijanse 

Piše: Domagaj Tomić 

Međunarodni arhitektonski natječaj za izgled 

novog putničkog terminala Zračne luke Zagreb, 

koji je završio s prvim danom listopada 

ove godine, okupio je neka od najuglednijih 

imena svjetske arhitekture i zasigurno najrenomiranija 

imena hrvatske arhitekture. U tako žestokoj konkurenciji 

doista nije bilo važno tko će pobijediti budući da je od 

22 

početka bilo jasno kako će nova Zračna luka izgledati 

spektakularno. 

DalCasa prva iznosi zašto je ocjenjivački sud odabrao hrvatski 

dvojac, odnosno gdje su ostali nagrađeni radovi, 

po mišljenju žirija, pogriješili. 

Ocjenjivački sud, u kojem su osim predstavnika Zračne 

luke (direktor Boško Matković) sjedila i zvučna imena, po-

Kincl i Nedihart su u svom radu predvidjeli dva terminala, jedan za 

domaći i jedan za inozemni promet / Kincl and Nedihart planned 

for two terminals in their project; one for domestic and the other 

for international flights 

put švedskog arhitekta Gedmunda Stokkea ili predsjednika 

Međunarodne unije arhitekata Gaetana Siewa, naposljetku 

je među 17 pristiglih radova tajnim glasovanjem 

odabrao rad hrvatskih arhitekata Branka Kincla i Velimira 

Nediharta. Hrvatski dvojac, kojem je na projektu pomogao 

Institut građevinarstva Hrvatske, iza sebe je tako 

ostavio Zahu Hadid (peta nagrada), japanskog arhitekta 

Shigera Bana (druga nagrada), engleskog arhitekta Normana 

Fostera (treća nagrada) i Andrewa Yeomana iz 

studija Tower 151 (četvrta nagrada). 

Predsjednik žirija Jerko Rošin u jednoj od svojih izjava medijima 

rekao je kako su željeli odabrati rad koji će jamčiti 

da će nova Zračna luka Zagreb biti jedinstvena i originalna, 

a da pritom zadovolji sve potrebe putnika. 

– Vodili smo računa i o adaptibilnosti projekta, odnosno 

mogućnostima daljnjeg proširenja, ali i o energetskoj isplativosti. 

Dakako, i predloženi izbor građevinskih materijala 

i ponuđeni komercijalni prostori na budućem terminalu 

su također utjecali na našu odluku. Kada smo uzeli presjek 

svih kriterija, na kraju smo se odlučili za projekt Kincla 

i Nediharta – rekao je Rošin i dodao kako su odlučivale 

nijanse, pa možda nisu ni izabrali najbolji projekt. 

Novi terminal Zračne luke Zagreb, koja se danas, podsjetimo, 

nalazi na prostoru koji spada pod ingerenciju 

Grada Velika Gorica, a ne Grada Zagreba, prostirat 

će se na 70 tisuća četvornih metara. Bit će izgrađen na 

svjeroistočnoj strani u odnosu na pistu, dakle na prostoru 

sadašnje vojne zračne baze, gdje su danas smješteni 

vojni borbeni avioni, helikopteri, transportni avioni te 

Vladin zrakoplov. Stari terminal bi se upotrebljavao za 

niskobudžetne letove. 

Dva terminala 

Kincl i Nedihart su u svom radu predvidjeli dva terminala, 

jedan za domaći i jedan za inozemni promet. Prepoznatljiva 

isprepletena čelična konstrukcija mosta Bundek, koji 

bi IGH trebao graditi u Zagrebu, bila im je inspiracija. Terminal 

će imati i 12 zračnih mostova preko kojih bi putnici 

ulazili u avione, a u sredini bi bio zračni most za ulazak 

u airbus A380, najveći zrakoplov današnjice. Nedihart, 

jedan od autora, u više svojih izjava je istaknuo kako su 

njegov kolega i on posebnu pozornost posvetili energetskoj 

učinkovitosti zgrade, čije će fotosenzitivne ćelije moći 

generirati značajne količine energije, koja će se dodatno 

štedjeti ventiliranim pročeljima i fasadama. Autori su zamislili 

i da se s površine aerodroma i krovova terminala 

sakuplja kišnica, čime se planira dobiti dovoljna količina 

vode za godišnje napuniti pet ukrasnih jezera. 

23

Treće mjesto - rad engleskog arhitekta Normana Fostera / 

Third place - work of English architect Norman Foster 

Nova Zračna luka Zagreb bi bila povezana s obilaznicom 

Velike Gorice, a kako se u Zagrebu planira i izgradnja 

metroa, tada bi se i preko njega dolazilo do aerodroma. 

Planira se i izgradnja hotela koji bi se nalazio preko puta 

nove zgrade Zračne luke. Kako stručnjaci procjenjuju da 

bi za pripremu projekta trebala jedna godina, a gradnja 

bi trajala dvije godine, pretpostavlja se da bi 2012. 

godine Hrvatska mogla dobiti pravu Zračnu luku, koja 

će moći primiti 10 milijuna putnika, dok današnja može 

samo dva milijuna. Cijena projekta Kincla i Nediharta je 

veća od 200 milijuna eura, a kako se planiraju i preinake, 

vjerojatno će biti i skuplji. 

Japanski arhitekt Ban Shigeru, koji je osvojio drugu nagradu, 

svoju viziju aerodroma temelji na drvetu, argumentirajući 

takav prijedlog činjenicom da je 36 posto 

područja Hrvatske pokriveno šumama. Njegov rad donosi 

iznimno naglašenu arhitekturu sa snažnim simbolizmom, 

no žiri je samu realizaciju takvog projekta u Hrvatskoj 

te njegovu cijenu stavio pod upitnik. Također mu je 

zamjerio nekvalitetan protok putnika. 

Norman Foster je, pak, krov terminala zamislio kao komade 

razlomljenog stakla. Njegova ideja je temeljena 

na simulaciji i transformaciji postojećeg jedinstvenog prirodnog 

okoliša u atraktivnu strukturu i kreaciju impresivnog 

prostora pod krovovima terminala. Iako se na prvi 

24 

pogled njegova konstrukcija doima zahtjevnom, žiri je 

procijenio kako on ima dobru kombinaciju dolaznih i odlaznih 

terminala. Iako Foster ima projekt i s optimalnom 

solarnom zaštitom, nedostaje mu, smatraju u ocjenjivačkom 

sudu, detaljniji strukturni model, a smatra se da će 

imati problema i s lošim protokom putnika. 

Andrew Yeoman iz zagrebačkog arhitektonskog studija 

Tower 151 inspiraciju je našao u kamenu. Njegov projekt 

ima naprednu i zahtjevnu strukturu, no na nekim mjestima 

zgrada ima četiri razine, što može biti komplicirano 

za putnike. 

Strukturni projekt je zanimljiv i grafički jako čist, a žiri smatra 

da je napravljen vrlo profesionalno pa će dati dobar 

temelj za strukturnu analizu u završnom projektu, odnosno 

u projektu Kincla i Nediharta. 

Jednom od najvećih favorita, Zahi Hadid, koja je osvojila 

tek pet mjesto, ocjenjivački sud je zamjerio lošu protočnost 

aerodroma i preveliku cijenu gradnje. Iako su 

njezine konceptualne ideje provedene do kraja te je i 

centralno područje terminala dobro riješeno, žiriju je zasmetalo 

to što s prometnog aspekta postoji previše smjerova. 

Također autorica nije uzela u obzir i schengenski 

režim. Iako su sam koncept nazvali kreativnim, smatraju 

da bi moglo biti problema s kompliciranom konstrukcijom 

i cijenom projekta.

A Croatian 

Project Chosen 

for the New 

Airport After All 

Although the contest was answered by 17 projects from great architectonic teams, an interesting 

solution by Croatian architects Branko Kincl and Velimir Nedihart, assisted by the Civil Engineering 

Institute of Croatia, ended up being chosen. We present you the top five projects of the 

contest, because it was only details that made the difference 

Written by: Domagaj Tomić 

The international architectonic contest to determine 

the look of the new passenger terminal of the 

Zagreb Airport, which was wrapped up at the beginning 

of this year’s October, gathered some of 

the most prominent names in world architecture and 

certainly the most significant names in Croatian architecture. 

When the competition is so fierce, it really 

doesn’t matter who is going to win because it was clear 

from the start that the new airport was going to look 

spectacular. 

DalCasa is the first to explain why the evaluation jury 

chose the Croatian duo, and what the other awardwinning 

projects did wrong, at least in the opinion of 

the jury. 

The evaluation jury, which featured a representative 

from the Zagreb Airport (manager Boško Matković), but 

also some household names like Swedish architect Gedmund 

Stokke and president of the International Union 

of Architects Gaetano Siew, used the method of secret 

voting to finally choose the project by Croatian architects 

Branko Kincl and Velimir Nedihart in the competition 

of 17 entered projects. The Croatian duo, which 

was assisted by the Civil Engineering Institute of Croatia, 

managed to defeat Zaha Hadid (fifth place), Japanese

Četvrto mjesto - Andrew Yeoman iz studija Tower 151 / 

Fourth place - Andrew Yeoman from Studio Tower 151 

architect Ban Shigeru (second place), English architect 

Norman Foster (third place), and Andrew Yeoman from 

Studio Tower 151 (fourth place). 

The jury president Jerko Rošin explained to the media 

that they wanted to choose a project that could guarantee 

that the new Zagreb Airport was going to be 

unique and original, while still satisfying all of the passengers’ 

needs. 

“We considered the issue of project adaptability and 

the possibilities of further expansion, and we were also 

interested in how efficient this project was going to be 

in terms of energy. Naturally, the suggested choice of 

construction materials and the offered commercial premises 

at the future terminal also affected our decision. 

When we looked at the overview of all our criteria, we 

ended up choosing Kincl and Nedihart’s project”, Rošin 

said and added that it all came down to details, which is 

why they maybe didn’t even choose the best project. 

The new terminal of the Zagreb Airport, which we remind 

you is located in the area under the jurisdiction of town 

Velika Gorica, instead of the City of Zagreb, will spread 

across 70 thousand square metres. It will be built northeast 

of the runway, in the area that is now occupied by a 

military air base, which features military combat planes, 

choppers, transport planes and the Government airplane. 

The old terminal is planned to be used for low-budget 

flights. 

Two Terminals 

Kincl and Nedihart planned for two terminals in their project; 

one for domestic and the other for international flights. 

They were inspired by the recognizably intertwined 

26 

steel construction of bridge Bundek, which IGH is about 

to start building in Zagreb. The terminal will also have 

12 airlifts that the passengers can use to get themselves 

onboard, and the airlift to Airbus A380, the largest airplane 

of today, would be positioned right in the middle. 

Nedihart, one of the authors, repeatedly pointed out 

that he and his colleague paid special attention to the 

building’s energy efficiency, and they have installed 

photosensitive power cells to generate significant amounts 

of energy, which would be additionally preserved 

by ventilated facades. The authors also came up with 

the idea of collecting rainwater from the airport surface 

and terminal roofs, which would collect enough water 

to fill up five decorative lakes per year. 

The new Zagreb Airport would be connected to the Velika 

Gorica roundabout road, and due to the fact that 

Zagreb should receive a metro in the near future, that 

would also be another way to reach the airport. Constructing 

a hotel opposite the new airport building is also 

in the plans. As the experts are predicting that it takes 

about one year to prepare this project, and two more 

to go through with the construction project, it is fair to 

say that Croatia could receive an actual airport in 2012; 

one that could accommodate about 10 million passengers, 

while the present one can only handle about two 

million. Kincl and Nedihart’s project is worth more than 

200 million Euros, and it will likely turn out even more expensive 

as certain adjustments are planned. 

Japanese architect Ban Shigeru, who finished in second 

place at this contest, based his airport vision on a tree, 

with his argument being that about 36 percent of Croatia 

is covered in forest. His work delivered extremely

Event 

Peto mjesto - Zaha Hadid / Fifth place - Zaha Hadid 

emphasized architecture with a strong sense of symbolism, 

but the jury questioned the possibility of achieving 

such a project in Croatia, as well as its price. They also 

criticized the poor fluidity of passengers that his project 

would cause. 

Norman Foster, on the other hand, designed the terminal 

roof as pieces of broken glass. His idea was based on 

simulation and transformation of the existing unique natural 

environment into the attractive structure and creation 

of an impressive space under the terminal roofs. 

Although his construction originally appears to be quite 

demanding, the jury pointed out that it featured a good 

combination of arrival and exit terminals. Foster’s project 

also featured optimal solar protection, but the jury 

felt that a more detailed structural model was required, 

and they also predicted poor fluidity of passengers. 

Andrew Yeoman from the Zagreb architectonic studio 

Tower 151 found inspiration in the concept of stone. His 

project showed advanced and demanding structural 

elements, but the building would feature four levels in 

some places, which might be slightly complicated for 

passengers. The structural project was interesting and 

graphically very clean, and the jury felt it was created 

with the utmost professionalism, so it has a very good 

chance of being used as good foundation for structural 

analysis of the final project, which was created by Kincl 

and Nedihart. 

One of the biggest favourites, Zaha Hadid, managed to 

win only fifth place, and the evaluation jury criticized the 

airport’s poor fluidity and excessive construction costs. 

Although her conceptual ideas were fully developed 

and the issue of the terminal’s central section was excellently 

solved, the jury didn’t like the fact that too many 

directions were present from the traffic standpoint. The 

author also didn’t take the Schengen regime into consideration. 

Although the concept was hailed as creative, 

the jury felt that the complicated construction and the 

project expenses could be a problem.

Deset nebodera koji æe 

promijeniti vizuru Zagreba 

Predstavljamo deset nebodera koji se tek trebaju početi graditi, a koji će, nakon što budu 

gotovi, u potpunosti promijeniti vizuru hrvatske metropole i konačno je, barem što se tiče 

visine, izdignuti iz prosječnosti i provincijalnosti 

Pomalo kultna Cibona (93 metra) i Zagrepčanka 

(95 metara) te noviji Eurotower (96 metara), 

najviši su objekti u Zagrebu već duži niz godina. 

U sljedećih nekoliko godina ti bi građevinski pothvati 

trebali postati pravi patuljci za projekte koji slijede, 

a kojima će Zagreb doista dosegnuti nebeske visine. 

ZAGREB GATE 

Visina: 50 katova – 207 metara 

Investitor: Fonem nekretnine 

Lokacija: Zagrebačka avenija 

Početak gradnje: 2009. godine 

Cijena: oko 100 milijuna eura 

Splitska tvrtka Fonem nekretnine planira sljedeće godine 

početi gradnju najvišeg nebodera u Hrvatskoj, koji 

28 

je već dobio naziv Zagreb Gate. Riječ je o neboderu 

koji će prijeći, za ovaj dio Europe futurističkih, 200 metara, 

odnosno sa svojih 50 katova dosegnut će čak 207 

metara. “Splitski” toranj smjestit će se na Zagrebačkoj 

aveniji, točnije na križanju te ulice s Gospodskom ulicom. 

Zagrebačko Poglavarstvo je već raspisalo javni 

anketni urbanističko-arhitektonski natječaj. Direktor Fonem 

nekretnina Josip Komar, koji je inspiraciju za ovaj 

projekt pronašao na ulicama Dubaija, tom je prigodom 

objasnio kako će toranj do 20 kata biti hotel od četiri 

zvjezdice, s čak 250 soba. Od 20. do 49. kata smjestit će 

se poslovni prostori, dok bi na vrhu nebodera mogao 

biti vidikovac s restoranom i helidrom. Pod neboderom 

će biti i pet podzemnih etaža, od kojih će najveći dio 

otpasti na podzemnu garažu.

IGH CENTAR 

Visina: 48 katova – 174 metra i 38 katova – 161 metar 

Investitor: Institut građevinarstva Hrvatske 

Lokacija: Rakušinova ulica, uz Slavonsku aveniju 

Početak gradnje: ne prije 2011. godine 

Cijena: nepoznata 

Ispred sadašnje upravne zgrade Instituta građevinarstva 

Hrvatske u Rakušinovoj ulici, predsjednik Uprave toga 

građevinskog carstva Jure Radić planira izgraditi dva 

tornja, visine 174 i 161 metar. Na natječaju završenom 

krajem ljeta pobjedu je odnio arhitektonski studio Arhitektura 

tholos projektiranje, odnosno rad arhitekata Diane 

Špirić, Dinke Pavelić, Damira Vrkljana i Otta Barića. 

Barićevi arhitekti zamislili su u parterima nebodera urediti 

trg sa zelenilom, a u samim tornjevima na tri do četiri 

mjesta nekoliko katova spojit će se u unutarnje vrtove. 

Pobjednički rad predviđa na vrhovima nebodera urediti 

vrtove s vidikovcem, a ukupna nadzemna površina iznosit 

će 82.534 četvorna metra, dok će pod zemljom biti 

pet podzemnih etaža s 973 parkirališna mjesta. 

Iako Radić medijima nije puno želio govoriti o novom 

sjedištu svoga IGH, najavio je kako će za gradnju IGH 

Centra tražiti partnere u sljedeće dvije godine. Tek kada 

pronađu adekvatne i kvalitetne suradnike, znat će se, 

kaže Radić, i sama cijena projekta. 

Poslovni centar SAVICA 

Visina: 45 katova 

Investitor: Konzum 

Lokacija: Avenija Marina Držića 

Početak gradnje: nepoznat 


Od čak 160 tisuća četvornih metara budućega poslovnog 

centra Savica, čak 72 tisuće kvadrata je predviđeno 

za stanovanje. Tvrtka CPA izradila je program za javni 

anketni urbanističko-arhitektonski natječaj, a sudeći po 

njezinoj dokumentaciji, investitor je Konzum. Prizemlje i 

prva etaža su rezervirani za 28,5 tisuća četvornih metara 

maloprodajnih prostora, a čak 18,5 tisuća kvadrata 

otpada na “retail” maloprodaju u kojoj će se nuditi 

odjeća i obuća poznatih brandova po sniženim cijenama. 

Podsjetimo, takvi trgovački centri se obično grade 

izvan samoga grada kako ne bi bili nelojalna konkurencija 

trgovinama s istom robom u gradskom središtu. To 

bi trebao biti prvi retail u Zagrebu. Zanimljivo je da će 

posjetitelji i stanari, osim u dvije podzemne etaže, moći 

parkirati na etažama iznad trgovačkog centra. Između 

nadzemnih garaža i stanova smjestit će se kat sa spa i 

wellness uslugama.

CRNI MONOLIT 


Investitor: Rok Štuglin, Autoservis Savska (Pro-grad) 

Lokacija: križanje Zagrebačke avenije i Savske ceste 



Objekt u potpunosti obložen staklom, kada je projektiran, 

bio je najviši neboder u Zagrebu, pa i Hrvatskoj, 

no ubrzo su ga pretekli IGH i Fonem nekretnine. Autori 

pobjedničkog rada, od 27 pristiglih radova, su Urbane 

tehnike, odnosno arhitekti Hrvoje Bakran, Dražen Plevka 

i Zdravko Krasić. Kao i kod Zagreb Gatea, i ovdje 

29

se na posljednjem katu planira restoran s vidikovcem, 

a arhitekti su na svakom katu predvidjeli dva poslovna 

prostora. Osim ureda, u neboderu će se naći mjesta i 

za apartmane prilagođene menadžerima. Investitor je 

službeno Rok Štuglin, vlasnik Autoservisa Savska, no iza 

njega, navodno, stoji Ivan Čalić iz tvrtke Pro-grad. 

MANHATTAN NA LANIŠTU 


Investitor: Verdispar, CCS Ulaganja i Pragmatika 

Lokacija: Remetinec rotor zapad 

Početak gradnje: 2009. godine 

Cijena: 180 milijuna eura 

Na prostoru od gotovo 58 tisuća hektara uz Savski nasip, 

dakle od nikad dovršene Sveučilišne bolnice do Željezničkog 

mosta uz Kajzericu, tvrtke Pragmatika, CCS 

Ulaganja i Verdispar planiraju graditi čak 19 nebodera. 

Prema arhitektonskom planu Urbanih tehnika, 18 nebodera 

će biti visoko od 14 do 19 katova, a onaj najviši će 

imati 39 katova. Kako doznajemo, bit će riječ o luksuznoj 

četvrti, a ideja arhitekata i investitora je napraviti novi 

centar Zagreba, koji će biti smješten uz Savu, rijeku kojoj 

hrvatska metropola nikada nije dopustila da postane 

dio grada.

PODBREŽJE 


Investitor: Zagrebački holding 

Lokacija: Novi Zagreb, Podbrežje 

Početak gradnje: proljeće 2009. godine 

Cijena: 300 milijuna eura (cijeli projekt) 

Uz više od dvije tisuće “Bandićevih stanova”, koji se nakon 

završetka naselja Sopnice Jelkovec u Sesvetama 

namjeravaju početi graditi u Novom Zagrebu, tu bi trebao 

niknuti i poslovni toranj od 35 katova. Urbanistički 

plan uređenja radi tvrtka Log urbis, a iako je Zagrebački 

holding investitor naselja, još nije poznato tko će zagrebačkoj 

gradskoj tvrtki biti partner u izgradnji tornja. Prema 

posljednim informacijama, Zg holding će vjerojatno 

privatnoj tvrtki prepustiti izgradnju nebodera. Podsjetimo, 

cijena “Bandićevih stanova” u Sopnici Jelkovec 

iznosi 1295 eura po kvadratu, a u Podbrežju bi trebali biti 

nešto skuplji.

Investitor: Poslovni centar Donji grad 

Lokacija: križanje Zagrebačke avenije i Selske ceste 



Tlocrt nebodera će imati oblik trapeza, a zbog potresa 

kojima je Zagreb sklon, neobični neboder će se graditi 

najsuvremenijom konstruktivnom tehnikom diagrida. 

Kompletnu težinu nebodera će nositi njegovi obodi. Na 

urbanističko-arhitektonskom natječaju, koji je raspisala 

tvrtka Poslovni centar Donji grad, prvu nagradu je odnio 

studio 3LHD. 

Pobjednički studio zamislio je oko samog nebodera još 

desetak zgrada od maksimalno devet etaža. U prizemlju 

zgrada smjestili bi se trgovački sadržaji, na prvom katu 

poslovni prostori, dok će se stanovi nalaziti na katovima 

iznad. Na najvišoj etaži bit će vidikovac.

Investitor: Zagreb Montaža i Dalekovod 

Lokacija: Zagrebačka avenija 

Početak gradnje: 2008. godina 

Cijena: 100 milijuna eura 

Iako su “blizanci” u početku bili zamišljeni na 22 kata, 

prema posljednim informacijama tornjevi će dosegnuti i 

30 katova, što znači da će prijeći 100 metara. Epileptični 

tornjevi su međusobno spojeni povezanim dijelom od 

drugog do četrnaestog kata. Tako su položeni da osiguravaju 

pristup dnevnog svjetla, svaka etaža nebodera, 

čija će fasada biti od stakla, djeljiva je na četiri radne 

jedinice koje se mogu organizirati kao pojedinačni uredi 

i kao otvoreni prostori, “sky vrtovi” za zaposlenike. Jedan 

toranj će pripasti Dalekovodu, a jedan Zagreb Montaži.

Na maloj čestici od samo devet tisuća kvadrata, zagrebačka 

Skupština u proljeće ove godine omogućila je 

tvrtki MD profil, vlasnika Darka Mandarića, gradnju čak 

30 nadzemnih etaža, što je ukupno 63 tisuće četvornih 

metara bruto površine. Grad Zagreb je na tom i okolnom 

zemljištu namjeravao graditi gradske stanove, no 

kako nije uspio otkupiti sve parcele, odustao je. Još nisu 

poznati detalji oko izgleda, cijene i početka gradnje tornja. 



Investitor: autor rada 3LHD 

Lokacija: kod Domovinskog mosta 



Riječ je o studiji novoga jugoistočnog ulaza u Zagreb, u 

kojoj dominira poslovni toranj od 26 katova, visine 106 

metara. Kako je riječ o lokaciji (Radnička cesta) na kojoj 

se posljednih godina intenzivno gradi (Domovinski most, 

pročistač otpadnih voda…), toranj bi trebao biti glavna 

figura na tom ulazu u grad. Parcela će se popuniti objektima 

namijenjenima trgovačkim, ugostiteljskim i poslovnim 

sadržajima, dok će se okolica, kao i niske zgrade, 

prilagoditi sportsko-rekreacijskoj namjeni koja se planira 

u neposrednoj blizini. Studio 3LHD je toranj zamislio tako 

da njegova vertikalna os transformira kristalični oblik te 

stvori zanimljive i raznolike prostore u samoj zgradi, dok 

će nepravilni raspored prozora na pročelju odražavati 

svjetla automobila koji će prelaziti preko mosta stvarajući 

promjenjive slike na rijeci Savi.

Ten Skyscrapers to Change 

the View of Zagreb 

We present the ten skyscrapers that are about to go under construction, and after they’re 

completed, they will radically change the view of the Croatian capital and finally, at least as far 

as height is concerned, ascend it above the average level of provincialism. 

The somewhat legendary Cibona (93 metres) and 

Zagrepčanka (95 metres), along with the more recent 

Eurotower (96 metres), have been the highest 

objects in Zagreb for a lot of years now. Over the 

next several years, those construction triumphs should 

become true midgets in comparison to the upcoming 

projects, which will really lead Zagreb towards the sky. 

Zagreb Gate 

Height: 50 floors – 207 metres 

Investor: Fonem Real Estate 

Location: Zagreb Avenue 

Construction start: 2009 

Price: Around 100 million Euros 

Company Fonem Real Estate from Split is planning on 

starting the construction process of the highest skyscraper 

in Croatia next year, and the project has already been 

named Zagreb Gate. This skyscraper will break the 200- 

32 

metre barrier, which is futuristic for this part of Europe, 

as its fifty floors will reach up as high as 207 metres. The 

“Split” tower will be situated at Zagreb Avenue, at the 

crossing of that street with Gospodska Street. The Zagreb 

City Hall has already announced the public urban-architectonic 

contest. Chairman of Fonem Real Estate, Josip 

Komar, who found the inspiration for this project at the 

streets of Dubai, explained that the tower will serve as a 

four-star hotel until the twentieth floor, and it will feature 

250 rooms. The space between the 20th and 49th floor 

will be taken up by office premises, while the top of the 

skyscraper might feature a belvedere with a restaurant 

and heliport. Five subterranean levels will be built below 

the tower, and most of that space will be used up by a 

garage with parking spaces. 

IGH Centre 

Height: 48 floors – 174 metres and 38 floors – 161 metres

Podbrežje 

Investor: Civil Engineering Institute of Croatia (IGH) 

Location: Rakušin Street, along Slavonia Avenue 

Construction start: not before 2011 

Price: Unknown 

In front of today’s central headquarters of the Civil Engineering 

Institute of Croatia at Rakušin Street, the chairman 

of that construction-business empire Jure Radić plans to 

build two towers, which will be 174 metres and 161 metres 

high. The contest ended in late summer, and it was 

won by architectonic studio Architecture Tholos Projecting, 

while the project was created by architects Diana 

Špirić, Dinka Pavelić, Damir Vrkljan and Otto Barić. Barić’s 

architects envisioned a square with plenty of green surfaces 

in front of the towers, while several floors in the towers 

themselves would connect to create interior gardens. 

The winning team of architects also plans to decorate 

the tower peaks with belvedere gardens. The overall 

above-ground surface would amount to 82.534 square 

metres, while five subterranean levels would provide 973 

parking spaces. Although Radić refused to share a lot of 

info with the media about the new IGH headquarters, he 

did point out that he will look for partners in this project 

over the next two years. Only after they find adequate 

and quality partners, Radić says, the price of this project 

will be known. 

Business Centre SAVICA 

Height: 45 floors 

Investor: Konzum 

Location: Marin Držić Avenue 

Construction start: Unknown 


Out of the astounding 160 thousand square metres of the 

future business centre SAVICA, as many as 72 thousand 

m2 are planned to have a residential function. Company 

CPA created a programme for a public urbanarchitectonic 

contest, and judging by the documentation, 

Konzum is the company investing in this project. The 

ground floor and first floor are booked to host 28,5 thousand 

square metres of retail spaces, and 18,5 thousand 

m2 will be taken up by retail stores that will offer clothes 

and footwear from famous brands at lowered prices. We 

remind you that these types of shopping centres usually 

appear outside of the city in order to avoid being disloyal 

competition to stores with the same goods in the city 

centre. This business centre should host the very first retail 

in Zagreb. It is also interesting that visitors and tenants, 

besides the two subterranean levels, will be able to use 

parking spaces above the shopping centre. A floor with 

spa and wellness programmes will be featured between 

the residential floors and the aboveground garages. 

Black Monolith 


Investor: Rok Štuglin, Autoservice Savska (Pro-Grad) 

Location: Crossing of the Zagreb Avenue and Sava Street 



This completely glass-covered project was the highest skyscraper 

in Zagreb and Croatia when its projected version 

first came out, but it was soon beaten by IGH and Fonem 

Real Estate. Among the 27 entered projects, the contest 

was won by architects Hrvoje Bakran, Dražen Plevka and 

Zdravko Krasić. Just like with Zagreb Gate, this project also 

features a restaurant with a belvedere on the top floor, 

and architects planned out two office spaces on each 

floor of the building. Besides for offices, this skyscraper will 

also feature apartments adjusted to the needs of managers. 

The official investor is Rok Štuglin, the owner of Autoservice 

Savska, but it has been rumoured that he is supported 

by Ivan Čalić from company Pro-Grad. 

Manhattan at Lanište 


Investor: Verdispar, CCS Investments and Pragmatika 

Location: Remetinac, western rotor 


Price: 180 million Euros 

At almost 58 thousand hectares along the bank of Sava, 

from the unfinished University Hospital until the Railway 

Bridge near Kajzerica, companies Pragmatika, CCS Investments 

and Verdispar have come to an agreement 

33

Investments 

Neboder 

123 / Skyscraper 123 

to build as many as 19 skyscrapers. According to the 

architectonic plan by Urban Techniques, 18 skyscrapers 

will feature 14 to 19 floors, while the highest one will raise 

the bar to 39 floors. We found out that a luxurious neighbourhood 

will appear in this area, as the architects and 

investors are planning to build the new centre of Zagreb 

alongside river Sava, which was never previously allowed 

to become a part of the Croatian capital. 

Podbrežje 


Investor: Zagreb Holding 

Location: New Zagreb, Podbrežje 

Construction start: spring of 2009 

Price: 300 million Euros (the entire project) 

Alongside over two thousand “Bandić apartments”, 

which are planned to be built in New Zagreb after the 

completion of settlement Sopnice Jelkovec in Sesvete, a 

business tower with 35 floors is planned to be constructed. 

The physical project is created by company Log Urbis, 

and although Zagreb Holding is the investor of the settlement, 

it is still unfamiliar as to who is going to be their partner 

in the construction of this tower. According to the latest 

information, Zagreb Holding will probably release the 

34 

rights to this tower’s construction to a private firm. Let’s 

remember, the price of “Bandić apartments” in Sopnice 

Jelkovec is 1295 Euros per square metre, but they should 

be slightly more expensive in Podbrežje. 

Skyscraper 123 


Investor: Business Centre Donji Grad 

Location: The crossing of Zagreb Avenue and Selska Street 

Construction start: unknown 


This skyscraper’s blueprint will be shaped like a trapezoid, 

and because of the earthquakes that are known to appear 

in Zagreb, this unusual skyscraper will be built with the 

top-modern construction technique called diagrid. The 

tower’s complete weight will be supported by its margins. 

The urban-architectonic contest, which was organized 

by company Business Centre Donji Grad, was won by Studio 

3LHD. The winning studio also plans to build ten other 

buildings around the tower, none of which would have 

more than nine floors. The ground floor would feature 

stores, the first floor would be taken up by office spaces, 

while all the higher floors would be filled with apartments. 

The highest floor would feature a belvedere.

Sky Office 


Investor: Zagreb Montaža and Dalekovod 

Location: Zagreb Avenue 


Price: 100 million Euros 

Although the first version of “the twins” planned 22 

floors, the last leaks of information say that these towers 

will reach as many as 30 floors, which means they 

will break the 100-metre barrier. These epileptic towers 

are mutually connected with the attached section 

between the second and the fourteenth floor. 

They are positioned in such manner that they ensure 

plenty of daytime light, and every floor of these glassfacade 

skyscrapers can be divided into four work 

units that can be organized as individual offices and 

open spaces, “sky gardens” for employers. One tower 

will belong to Dalekovod, and the second one to Zagreb 

Montaža. 

Thunderbolt 


Investor: MD Profile 

Location: Žitnjak 

Construction start: unknown 


On a small parcel that takes up merely nine thousand 

square metres, the Zagreb City Council has given 

permission to company MD Profile, owned by Darko 

Mandarić, to build a tower with 30 aboveground 

floors, which climb up to about 63 thousand square 

metres of overall surface. The City of Zagreb originally 

planned to build city apartments on that and the 

neighbouring parcel, but due to the fact that they 

couldn’t purchase all the parcels, they backed out. 

Details surrounding the look, price or construction start 

for this tower still remain unknown. 



Investor: Project author 3LHD 

Location: Near the Homeland Bridge 



This is a project of a new southeast entrance into Zagreb, 

which is dominated by a 26-floor business tower 

that is planned to rise up to 106 metres. Being that it’s 

supposed to be built on a location (Radnička Street) 

that has seen a lot of construction action over the last 

few years (Homeland Bridge, wastewater purifier...), 

the tower should serve the purpose of being the head 

figure at that city entrance. The parcel will be filled 

with stores, restaurants and business objects, while the 

surrounding, including the lower buildings, will be adjusted 

to sport-recreational purposes that are planned 

in the immediate environment. Studio 3LHD created 

the project of this tower that sees its vertical axis transform 

into crystal shapes, which create various interesting 

spaces within the building, while the irregular 

arrangement of windows on the facade will reflect 

the lights of cars crossing over the bridge, which will 

create deceiving images on the river of Sava.

Namještaj Interstuhl u novom 

filmu Jamesa Bonda 

James Bond nešto je više od filmskog lika. U posljednjih pola 

stoljeća, zahvaljujući pomno stvaranom 

imidžu, tajni agent u službi Njezina Veličanstva 

postao je simbol dobrog ukusa i stila. 

U novom filmu Zrno utjehe, u prostorijama 

tajne službe kojima kroči Daniel Craig, možete 

vidjeti asortiman stolaca Silver tvrtke 

Interstuhl, koju u Hrvatskoj ekskluzivno zastupa 

Stipić Interart. Pojava Interstuhlova 

asortimana u filmu o Jamesu Bondu potvrđuje 

da se radi o prestižnom i kvalitetnom 

brandu. Ugled kakav ima Interstuhl, razlog 

je što njihove proizvode možete pronaći i u 

katalogu Stipić Interarta. 

The Healthy Pride of Bilbao 

The Baskian Health Administration building in Bilbao carries 

the design patterns created in the era of cubism. The 

system of glass surfaces that meet under irregular angles 

was primarily created with the purpose of creating a pleasant 

interior atmosphere. In such conditions, the view of the 

city is dynamic and contributes to something the authors 

like to call “urban vitality” of the interior. The building is 

scheduled to be opened this autumn. 

Interstuhl Furniture in the New 

James Bond Movie 

James Bond is more than just a movie character. Thanks to the 

carefully created image over the last half of century, the secret 

agent in the service of Her Majesty has become a symbol of 

good taste and style. In the new movie Quantum of Solace, as 

Daniel Craig walks across the Agency premises, you’re able to 

see the Silver chair assortment by company Interstuhl, which 

is exclusively represented 

in Croatia by Stipić 

Interart. The appearance 

of the Interstuhl 

assortment in a James 

Bond movie confirms 

the quality and prestige 

of this brand. 

Interstuhl’s exceptional 

reputation is the reason 

their products are 

available in the Stipić 

Interart catalogue.

Ambienta - malenim 

koracima naprijed 

Da prate svjetske trendove u dizajnu namještaja, novitetima opreme i materijala, 

pokazali su brojni domaći izlagači 

Na jubilarnom 35. međunarodnom sajmu namještaja, 

unutarnjeg uređenja i prateće industrije 

Ambienta, ove su godine predstavljena 

čak 744 izlagača, među kojima je bilo njih 383 

iz 31 strane zemlje. Svoje najnovije proizvode, usluge i 

tehnologije, na oko 51.500 četvornih metara, izlagale 

su i tvrtke iz Indije, Malezije, Finske, SAD-a, Velike Britanije, 

Turske, Švedske, Švicarske. Ambienta je obuhvaćala 

šest tematskih cjelina: Namještaj za stanovanje, Kuhinje i 

kupaonice, Uredski namještaj i namještaj za opremanje 

objekata, Proizvodi i oprema za unutarnje uređenje, Repromaterijali 

za industriju namještaja te Strojevi i alati za 

drvnu industriju. 

I ove je godine pozornost posjetitelja ponajviše privukao 

projekt “Drvo je prvo“ Hrvatske gospodarske komore, Ministarstva 

šumarstva i Hrvatskih šuma, koji je svoj izložbeni 

prostor pretvorio u “Šumu Striborovu“, odavajući na taj 

38 

način počast hrvatskoj književnici Ivani Brlić-Mažuranić i 

njezinoj istoimenoj priči. 

Da prate svjetske trendove u dizajnu namještaja, u novitetima 

opreme i materijala, pokazali su i brojni domaći 

izlagači. Prošlogodišnji dobitnik srebrne plakete PPS Galeković 

predstavio je proizvode od vrhunskoga, prirodnog 

i ekološkog materijala, od kojih stvara topao ugođaj u 

prostorima za stanovanje. Novost su masivni podovi Rex 

koje karakteriziraju veće dimenzije, a nakon postavljanja 

se mogu lakirati ili nauljiti. Pažnju posjetitelja su izazvali i 

termo podovi jer procesom termo tretiranja drvo postaje 

otpornije na vlagu i štetočine, a njegova boja poprima 

tamnije nijanse, kao i decking proizvodi od drva koji se 

također obrađuju ovom inovativnom finskom tehnologijom, 

a mogu se upotrebljavati u sasvim novim prostorima, 

poput terasa, vrtova te prostora oko bazena. 

Na Ambienti je ove godine Eduro predstavio dva nova

proizvoda i uveo nove ekološke, prirodne materijale u krute i 

predodređene materijale za proizvodnju namještaja. 

Ispune za klizna vrata Kamenglas su punjene prirodnim materijalima, 

pijeskom, šljunkom ili drobljenim mramorima, proizveli 

su ih u suradnji s domaćim inovatorom – tvrtkom Dizajn Šafarić 

s Krka, a rezultat je materijal odličnih vizualnih, topliskih i 

zvučnih svojstava. Drugi Edurov hit na sajmu bio je lamelirano 

staklo “Četiri godišnja doba“, odnosno sigurnosno staklo idealno 

za pregradne stijenke te za klizna vrata ormara, za kupce 

koji traže unikatni dizajn i materijale. Prigodno godišnjem 

dobu, na sajmu je izloženo staklo u čiju je sredinu ubačeno 

jesensko lišće jakog kolorita. Prednost postupka nove tehnologije 

hladnog lameliranja stakla jest u tome što svi organski 

materijali zarobljeni u sredini stakla zadržavaju svoju ljepotu i 

oblik. Postupkom toplog lameliranja organska tvar gubi svoj 

izgled te je upravo zbog toga i osmišljena nova tehnologija 

hladnog lameliranja. 

Tvrtka Textum, prošlogodišnji dobitnik nagrade za najuspješniji 

nastup na Ambienti, i ove je godine privukla pozornost brojnih 

posjetitelja svojim novitetima, a među njima se svakako 

izdvaja Ecopiedra, proizvodi načinjeni od osnovnih sastojaka 

prirodnih stijena, iz kojih su izbačeni elementi koji reagiraju s 

prirodnim agensima a proizvode soli ili opasne reakcije, čime 

se na taj način postiže nenadmašna kvaliteta. Posebna tehnika 

se temelji na odabiru elemenata prirodnih stijena i njihove 

rekonstrukcije u kalupima. 

Muški dio posjetitelja puno zanimanja je pokazao za dizajnerske 

hladnjake i vinske vitrine na izložbenom prostoru tvrtke Gemma, 

te kolekciju Hydra ABC Interijera. Posebnost ove linije 

keramičke kupaoničke opreme jest savršena finoća linija koje 

prate siluetu tijela, poput modela samostojećih lavaboa Miss 

od materijala Icetek. 

Kraljevski ugođaj 

Pozornost posjetiteljica zaokupilo je nekoliko izložbenih prostora 

domaćih tvrtki. Alto je prezentirao namještaj i dekorativne 

detalje po uzoru na kraljevski ugođaj engleskih dvorova. Puno 

drvo kombinirano s trstikom, uzorci krokodilske kože, detalji 

ukrašeni kristalima Swarovski i sve to u smeđim i crnim tonovima, 

oduševili su ljubitelje elegancije. 

Meblo Trade se svake godine predstavi moderno dizajniranim 

namještajem visoke kvalitete koji prati svjetske trendove 

te pratećim programom za uređenje interijera – dekorativnim 

tkaninama, zavjesama, tapetama. Jedna od zanimljivosti na 

sajmu svakako je bila linija garnitura Delta Salotti s dekorativnim 

printom, poput stihova, slika, logotipova..., a posebno 

mjesto posvećeno je talijanskom brandu Selva i njihovim novim 

linijama Fontana i Riviera, koje na poseban način interpretiraju 

prošlost u sadašnjosti. Kao i uvijek, pažnju je izazvao i 

program Jogi za zdravo spavanje, dekorativni tekstil te tapete

Ambienta - 

One Step at 

a Time 

Numerous Croatian exhibitors clearly demonstrated 

that they are in touch with world 

trends in furniture design, as well as with 

novelties in equipment and materials 

The 35th annual international fair of furniture, interior 

decoration and accompanying industries Ambienta 

presented as many as 744 exhibitors this year, 

and 383 of them came from 31 foreign countries. 

At around 51.500 square metres of surface, the newest 

products, services and technologies were presented by 

companies from India, Malaysia, Finland, USA, Great Britain, 

Turkey, Sweden, Switzerland and others. Ambienta 

consisted of six programmatic units: Residential Furniture, 

Kitchens and Bathrooms, Office Furniture and Furniture for 

Object Furnishing, Interior decoration Products and Equipment, 

Repromaterials for Furniture Industry, and Tools and 

Machinery for Wood Industry. 

The visitors’ attention was again very attracted to project 

“Wood Comes First” by the Croatian Chamber of Economics, 

Ministry of Forestry and Croatian Forests, which 

transformed their exhibit stand into the “Stribor Forest”, 

honouring Croatian writer Ivana Brlić-Mažuranić in the 

process by paying homage to her story. 

Numerous Croatian exhibitors clearly demonstrated that 

they are in touch with world trends in furniture design, as 

well as with novelties in equipment and materials. Last 

year’s silver-plaque winner PPS Galeković presented 

products made of top-quality, natural and ecological 

material, which creates warm ambience in residential 

spaces. A new appearance came in the form of massive 

Rex floors that are noticeably oversized, and they are 

usually varnished or oiled up after the installing process. 

The visitors were also drawn to thermo-floors, because 

thermo-processing causes wood to become more resilient 

to moisture and vermin, while its colour receives a 

darker shade. The same thing happens to decking wood 

products that are also processed with this innovative 

Finnish technology, and can now be used in completely 

new places, such as terraces, gardens and the swimming-pool 

area. 

This year’s Ambienta witnessed two new Eduro products, 

and the same company also introduced new ecological 

and natural materials into the stiff and predetermined furniture 

materials. Completions for Kamenglas sliding doors 

are filled with natural materials, such as sand, gravel or 

crushed marble, and they were produced in cooperation 

with a local investor Šafarić Design from Krk, which resulted 

in a material with excellent visual, heat and sound 

characteristics. Eduro hit another “jackpot” at this fair with 

laminated glass called “Four Seasons of the Year”, which

is basically a safety glass ideal for partition surfaces and 

sliding closet doors, and buyers who are looking for unique 

design and materials were certainly interested. Appropriately 

in terms of the season of the year, they presented 

glass filled with strong-coloured autumn leaves at this fair. 

The new technology of cold glass laminating has the advantage 

of keeping all the organic materials trapped in 

the middle of the glass, which retains their beauty and 

shape. When the process of warm laminating is enforced, 

the organic substances lose their shape, which led to 

the introduction of cold laminating. Company Textum, 

last year’s winner of the award for the most successful 

performance at Ambienta, again attracted many visitors 

to their stand with numerous novelties, the standout 

of which is certainly Ecopiedra, products made of basic 

substances of natural rocks that eliminate any elements 

that react with natural agents to produce salt or dangerous 

reactions, which led to second-to-none quality. This 

special technique is based on the choice of natural-rock 

elements and their reconstruction in various moulds. The 

male visitors were immediately attracted to designer refrigerators 

and wine shelves at the Gemma stand, as well 

as to a collection of Hydra ABC Interiors. This series of ceramic 

bathroom equipment is special due to the perfectly 

refined figure that follows the body silhouette, which is 

exemplified in models of detached Miss washbasins from 

material Icetek. 

Alto Trade 

Events

Last year’s silver-plaque winner PPS Galeković 

The Royal Treatment 

Female visitors, however, were most attracted to several 

exhibit stands of Croatian companies. Alto presented furniture 

and decorative details that recall the royal ambience 

of English castles. Full wood combined with reed, 

samples of crocodile leather, details embellished by 

Swarowski crystals with predominant brown and black 

tones delighted all lovers of elegance. 

Meblo Trade appears every year with modern-designed 

furniture of the highest quality, which stays in touch with 

all world trends, and they also presented an interior-decoration 

programme – decorative fabrics, curtains, wallpapers... 

One of the more interesting things to appear 

at this fair was certainly the Delta Salotti ensemble series 

with decorative printing of things like lyrics, pictures, logotypes..., 

and special mention goes to Italian brand Selva 

and their new lines Fontana and Riviera, which have their 

own way of interpreting past in the present. As always, 

there was a lot of fuss about the Jogi programme for 

healthy sleeping, as well as about decorative textile and 

world-designer wallpapers Dedar, Sahco Hesslein, Kinnasand 

and Zimmer Rohde. 

A visit to the imaginative world of decorations by prestigious 

brand Joop probably fulfilled every woman’s fantasy 

at this fair. Exceptional decorative materials for curtains, 

furniture and accompanying carpets bring glamour into 

every home. Delicate details are deservedly called luxurious 

because of jacquard motifs, embroidered details or 

different motifs that appear to be carved. Rich mixtures 

of fabrics with chenille, satin or organdie were also used. 

Collection Mystic, designed by Lili Panjtar from Odeja Design, 

enchanted everyone that is a fan of happy colours, 

satin on bed sheets, bed linen, blankets and decorative 

pillows, and it succeeded to briefly take us on a trip to the 

fairytale world of “1001 Nights”.

London - grad koji 

otvara vidike 

Proučavajući London, glavni grad jedne od najmoćnijih europskih zemalja, naišla sam na mnoštvo 

opisa mjesta pod kojima stoji: “obvezno posjetiti“. Putujete li i vi u taj višemilijunski grad, ne zaboravite 

da u moru građevina i mjesta koji će vas “opkoliti“, pronađete one u kojima ćete doista 

uživati 

Piše: Martina Kocijan 

Foto: Visitlondonimages / britainonview 

Na pitanje odakle tolika oduševljenost Londonom, 

mnogi će odgovoriti da je jedan od razloga 

što se u njemu osjeća različitost. Što je to 

različito u gradu u kojem svakodnevno radi, 

uči, zabavlja se i diše više od 7,5 milijuna stanovnika 

Istražimo. Osim što je kulturno, ekonomsko i obrazovno 

središte Europe i svijeta, London se, uz Pariz, New York 

i Tokio, smatra jednim od najvećih svjetskih prometnih 

i trgovačkih centara. Već je u 12. stoljeću opisan kao 

nemirno mjesto puno aktivnosti i grad pun glumaca, lakrdijaša, 

pjevačica, vidara, bludnica, proročica, lihvara, 

noćnih tipova, mađioničara, mimičara, prosjaka i odrpanaca. 

Paralelno s razvojem kulturnog života, grad razvija 

bankovni sustav, danas jedan od najvećih u svijetu. 

Londonski bankovni sustav je počeo funkcionirati kao 

skup privatnih banaka s londonskim Cityjem u središtu. 

Zahvaljujući trgovcima, koji su u grad dolazili kako bi 

izravnavali račune, London je postao najznačajnije financijsko 

središte svijeta. Danas nije nimalo drugačije. 

Po svojoj funkciji i socijalnoj strukturi, London je podijeljen 

u tri dijela: stara jezgra City, zapadni dio West End i 

istočni dio East End. City čini njegovu povijesnu, tradicionalnu 

jezgru s trgovačko-bankarskom funkcijom. U njemu 

se nalaze osiguravajuće kompanije, banke i jedna 

od najvećih burzi na svijetu. Danju taj dio grada vrvi od 

gužve poslovnih ljudi. East End je industrijski dio grada u 

kojemu su skladišta i dokovi, i iako je to poznati radni dio 

Londona, nekad četvrt siromaštva i bijede, danas se sve 

više pretvara u poslovni. 

Najbolje iz gradske ponude 

Big Ben, veliki sat u samom središtu Londona, njegova 

je glavna znamenitost, a slijede ga Buckinghamska i 

Westminsterska palača, vrtuljak London Eye, Povijesni 

muzej i Londonski most ispod kojeg prolazi rijeka Temza. 

Westminsterska palača je sjedište dvaju parlamentarnih 

domova: House of Lords i House of Commons. Jedna 

od najljepših građevina na sjevernoj obali rijeke Temze 

ima više od 1100 soba, 100 stubišta i gotovo pet kilometara 

hodnika. Pravo ime najpoznatijega svjetskog sata,

Užurbana slika ulice Oxford / Busy scene 

on Oxford Street 

smještenog unutar jednog tornja Britanskog parlamenta, 

zapravo je Veliki westminsterski sat, dok je Big Ben 

ime najvećeg zvona u samom tornju. Izgrađena prije 

više od 300 godina, Buckinghamska palača je dom kraljice 

Elizabete i poznata turistička atrakcija, veličine gotovo 

80.000 četvornih metara. Iza palače, u najvećem 

privatnom vrtu u Londonu, Kraljica svakog ljeta održava 

svoje poznate domjenke. Budući da je pozivnicu za 

domjenak malo teže nabaviti, brojni turisti dolaze ispred 

ulaznih vrata kako bi pogledali glavnu atrakciju palače 

– izmjenu kraljevske straže. Westminster Abbey još je 

jedna građevina koju vrijedi posjetiti. U toj su gotičkoj 

katedrali okrunjeni gotovo svi engleski kraljevi i kraljice, 

a u obližnjim kriptama mnogi od njih su i pokopani. St. 

Paul’s Cathedral anglikanska je katedrala i sjedište londonskog 

biskupa, a po veličini je druga najveća crkva 

na svijetu, odmah iza Sv. Petra u Vatikanu. Kupola joj je 

visoka čak 108 metara, a pri uspinjanju na vrh, s kojeg se 

vidi cijeli grad, nalaze se tri galerije: Whispering, Stone i 

Golden. Tower of London je srednjovjekovna tvrđava i 

mjesto na kojem kraljičine dragulje čuvaju Yeomen War- 

44 

ders ili Beefeaters, čuvari koji su ime dobili po mesnim 

odrescima jer su bili jedni od rijetkih ljudi koji su ih u prošlosti 

smjeli jesti. London Tower je ipak mnogo poznatiji 

kao bivši zatvor, mučilište i pogubilište za slavne zatvorenike. 

U njemu su pogubljeni engleski kralj Henrik VI. i 

njegove supruge Margareta te sestre Ana i Jane Boleyn. 

Zanimljivost toga dvorca su i gavrani, koji ga nastanjuju 

već stoljećima. Prema legendi, napuste li gavrani toranj, 

Englesko kraljevstvo će propasti. 

Od Londonskog oka do Tower mosta 

Toranj visok 135 metara u samom središtu Londona, British 

Airways London Eye, atrakcija je koja se teško propušta. 

Najveći svjetski vrtuljak sastoji se od 32 kapsule iz kojih vam 

pogled seže na gotovo 40 kilometara grada. Nakon što 

je izgrađen za proslavu novog tisućljeća, vrtuljak je brzo 

postao jednim od glavnih gradskih simbola. Ako nakon 

London Eyea nastavite dalje uz obalu Temze, doći ćete 

do Tower Bridgea, najpoznatijega gradskog mosta. Kada 

s Towera gledate na desnu obalu rijeke, primijetit ćete 

mnoštvo suvremenih nebodera – poznati londonski City.

Hotel in Piccadilly 

Volite li životinje, pravi izbor je County Hall, bivši dom Velikog 

londonskog sabora. U toj golemoj građevini danas 

se smjestio Londonski akvarij s više od 350 različitih vodenih 

vrsta iz svih dijelova svijeta. U sklopu County Halla 

nalazi se i muzej Dali Universe u kojem se može razgledati 

više od 500 umjetničkih djela. Jedno od najpoznatijih 

djela koje taj muzej ima jest Spellbound, slika koja je još 

davne 1945. godine ukrašavala set na kojem su snimani 

poznati Hitchcockovi trileri. Privlači li vas kazalište, navratite 

u Theatre Museum na Russell Streetu gdje ćete otkriti 

eksponate i demonstracije “dasaka koje život znače”, 

od kazališne šminke i kostima do glume. Tura kroz Royal 

Opera House uvest će vas u tajni svijet života jedne od 

najpoznatijih međunarodnih umjetničkih kuća. Dečki će 

zasigurno željeti posjetiti bar jedan od londonskih stadiona, 

poput Wembleyja, Emiratesa i Stamford Bridgea, koji 

će im bar nakratko približiti sportske čari. 

Ne zaboravite prošetati 

Piccadilly Circus i Trafalgar Square dva su najpoznatija 

londonska trga. Trafalgar je najveći londonski trg i 

na njemu se nalaze četiri muzeja: Nacionalna galerija, 

British Museum, Tate i muzej voštanih figura Madame Tussaud. 

Obilježje Trafalgar trga su i četiri lavlje statue na 

kojima se turisti vole fotografirali za uspomenu. Piccadilly 

Circus, poznat po fontani s kipom Erosa i brojnim neonskim 

svjetlima, jedno je od glavnih cestovnih čvorišta u 

gradu, gdje započinju West End, City of Westminster te 

Regent Street. Samo ime dobio je po piccadillu, popularnoj 

vrsti ovratnika koju su šivali tamošnji krojači, i circusu, 

latinskoj riječi za otvoreni prostor. Piccadilly je i odlična 

polazišna točka za šoping u obližnje ulice Regent, 

Oxford ili Bond, ali i za noćni provod prema Leicester 

Squareu, prepunom odličnih klubova i pubova. Ispred 

Tatea, muzeja moderne umjetnosti, prostire se predivno 

šetalište uz Temzu gdje se turisti vole odmoriti, ali samo 

nakratko jer će u blizini brzo uočiti The Globe, rekonstruirano 

kazalište “zaljubljenog Shakespearea”. Ne počne 

li padati kiša, tipična za londonsko područje, predivan 

je osjećaj prošetati se i nekim od mnogobrojnih parkova 

i vrtova, poput Hydea i Regent’s Parka. Za sve koji žele 

javno izreći svoje mišljenje, idealno mjesto je Hyde park, u 

45

kojem Londončani bez straha kritiziraju pojedince i državu 

jer znaju da zbog toga neće biti kažnjeni. 

Šoping života 

U Londonu ćete, odlučite li se ući u Oxford Street, kupujući 

doslovce zaglaviti. Jedna od najvećih ulica na svijetu 

duga je čak tri kilometra i ima više od 300 prodavaonica. 

Oxford Streetu se u šopingomaniji pridružuju Regent 

Street i Bond Street, ulica s ekskluzivnim trgovinama. Tu su 

i trgovine velikih britanskih lanaca robnih kuća, poput 100 

godina starog Selfridgesa, Debenhamsa, Johna Lewisa 

ili House of Fraser. Oxford Street je poznata i po božićnoj 

tradiciji. Svake godine, sredinom studenoga, jedna slavna 

osoba pali njezina božićna svjetla. Do sada su to učinili 

Richard Branson, Spice Girls, Enrique Iglesias i mnogi drugi. 

Posljednji na popisu, no ne i najmanje važan, trgovački je 

centar Harrods, sinonim za luksuzni šoping, koji na više od 

80 tisuća četvornih metara nudi sedam etaža za šoping iz 

snova. “Omnia Omnibus Ubique - Sve za svakoga, posvuda“, 

Harrodsov je slogan koji ga najbolje opisuje. 

Tower most / Tower Bridge 

London Eye 

Savršeno opuštanje 

London će oduševiti i ljubitelje piva. U njemu možete pronaći 

čak pet tisuća pubova! Nakon cjelodnevnog razgledavanja 

grada, savršeno opuštanje upravo su ta mala, 

neodoljiva mjesta i rijetki su oni koji mogu odoljeti crnom 

Guinnessu i gomili nasmiješenih ljudi, s kojima se nakon 

nekoliko piva lako sporazumijeva na svim jezicima svijeta. 

Nakon puba i večere zanimljivo je posjetiti neki od noćnih 

klubova u kojima je atmosfera zaista posebna. Kultni 

klubovi Ministry of Sound i Notting Hill Arts Club nude za 

svakoga ponešto, a uz pubove i klubove, na usluzi je i oko 

11.000 restorana i kafića. 

Kako do popusta 

Želite li ostvariti besplatan ulaz u najbolje londonske turističke 

atrakcije, nabavite karticu London pass. Platit ćete 

je između 38 i 120 funti, ovisno o tome želite li koristiti i javni 

prijevoz. Njome ostvarujete pravo na besplatan ulaz u 

Tower of London, katedralu sv. Pavla, londonski Zoo, vožnju 

Temzom, razgledavanje Stamford Bridgea, u neka 

kina i mnoga druga mjesta, a također dobivate popuste 

u restoranima i trgovinama. 

46 

Posjetiti ili ne posjetiti 

Radite li listu gradova i država koje “obvezno“ morate posjetiti, 

a dvoumite se u vezi s Londonom, dobro proučite 

sve njegove mane i prednosti. U njemu ćete susresti ljude 

svih nacija, rasa i vjera, čuti više stotina različitih jezika, 

uočiti i doživjeti nove, drugačije stvari, građevine i stilove. 

Osjetit ćete što znači biti građanin modernog svijeta. S 

druge strane, pripremite se da ćete u Londonu i trošiti i 

potrošiti. Životni standard mnogo je viši nego u nas, stoga 

su i cijene posve drugačije od onih na koje smo navikli. 

Primjerice, za jedno će vam piće trebati svota koju biste 

u Hrvatskoj potrošili na rundu za troje ljudi. Ipak, sam put 

može vas doći znatno manje rezervirate li kartu na nekom 

od niskotarifnih letova, danas odlično povezanih s hrvatskim 

zračnim lukama. Na kraju, imate li prilike birati, za 

sebe uvijek birajte najbolje – grad koji će vam zasigurno 

dati više nego što mislite, a najvažnije od svega, London 

će vam otvoriti vidike.

London - A City to 

Expand Your Horizons 

By analyzing London, the capital of one of the most powerful European countries, we noticed 

that a lot of locations in the city supposedly fall into the “must visit” category. If you’re about 

to travel to that multimillion city, don’t forget to find the sights you will really enjoy among the 

sea of buildings and locations that will surround you 

Written by: Martina Kocijan 

If you start asking people about the source of their enthusiasm 

for London, many of them will answer that 

one of the main reasons is the sense of difference you 

can feel in that city. So what is so different about the 

city that features 7,5 million people working, studying, 

having fun and breathing day after day Besides being 

the cultural, economical and educational centre of 

Europe and the world, London is considered to be one 

of the world’s biggest traffic and merchandise centres, 

along with Paris, New York and Tokyo. Even back in the 

12th century, it was described as a restless and active 

town filled with actors, jesters, singers, healers, promiscuous 

women, psychics, loan sharks, night characters, 

magicians, mimics, beggars and bums. As its cultural life 

began to develop, the city also started developing its 

banking system, which is now one of the biggest in the 

world. The London banking system started functioning 

as a collection of private banks that were located in the 

City of London. Thanks to merchandise sellers who came 

to London to straighten their bills, London became the 

most important financial centre in the world. Today’s 

situation is absolutely no different.

If we look at its function and social structure, London 

is divided into three sections: the old centre City, West 

End and East End. City is London’s historic and traditional 

centre with the trade-banking function. It hosts the 

majority of insurance companies, banks and one of the 

largest stock markets in the world. During the daytime, 

that part of the city is filled with an enormous amount 

of business people. East End is the industrial part of the 

city that features warehouses and docks, and although 

it used to be known as the labouring part of London 

that had its share of poverty and misery, it is now going 

through the process of becoming a business centre. 

The Best the City Has to Offer 

Big Ben, an enormous clock in the centre of London, 

is the most attractive sight, but it is closely followed by 

Buckingham Palace, Westminster Palace, Ferris wheel 

London Eye, History Museum and London Bridge that 

rises above river Themes. Westminster Palace is the 

headquarters of the two Parliament houses: House of 

Lords and House of Commons. One of the most beautiful 

buildings on the northern shore of Themes has over 

47

down on the River Thames meandering through the city 

of London 

Adventure 

1100 rooms, 100 staircases and almost five kilometres of 

hallway surface. The actual name of the world’s most 

famous clock, located within one of the British Parliament 

towers, is really The Great Clock of Westminster, 

while Big Ben is the name of the tower’s largest bell. Built 

over 300 years ago, Buckingham Palace is Queen Elizabeth’s 

home and one of London’s most famous attractions, 

which spreads across almost 80.000 square metres. 

Behind the palace, in London’s largest private garden, 

the Queen holds her famous receptions every summer. 

It might be a little difficult to get an invitation to that 

reception, so the next best thing might be to come in 

front of the entrance and watch the palace’s main attraction 

– the changing of the royal guard. Westminster 

Abbey is another building worth visiting. That Gothic 

cathedral is where almost all English kings and queens 

were crowned, and many of them were also buried in 

the nearby crypts. St. Paul’s Cathedral is the Anglican 

cathedral that serves as the headquarters to the Bishop 

of London, and it’s also the second largest church in 

the world, right behind St. Paul’s Cathedral in Vatican. 

Its cupola is an astounding 108 metres high, and while 

you’re climbing to the top, which reveals the view of 

the entire city, you will also find three galleries: Whispering, 

Stone and Golden. Tower of London is a medieval 

fortress where the Queen’s jewellery is guarded by Yeomen 

Warders or Beefeaters, which were named after the 

beef stakes they were allowed to eat in the past, when 

most people were forbidden to do so. However, London 

Tower is much more famous for being a former prison, 

and a place where famous prisoners were tortured and 

executed. Among the people executed in this establishment, 

let’s just mention English King Henry VI., his wife 

Margaret, and sisters Anne and Jane Boleyn. That castle 

is also famous for ravens, as they’ve been living there for 

centuries. The legend says that if the ravens ever leave 

that tower, the English Kingdom will crumble. 

From London Eye to Tower Bridge 

A 135-metre-high tower in the very centre of London, the 

British Airways London Eye, is an attraction you shouldn’t 

afford to miss. The world’s largest Ferries wheel consists 

of 32 capsules that reveal the view of almost 40 kilometres 

of the city. After being built for the new millennium 

celebration, the Ferris wheel quickly became one of 

the city’s trademarks. If you pass London Eye and keep 

walking along Themes, you will reach Tower Bridge, the 

most important bridge in the city. When you find yourself 

there and you look towards the right side of the river, 

you will notice quite a few modern skyscrapers – the 

world-famous City of London. 

If you’re an animal lover, County Hall is the place to go. 

49

That enormous building, which used to host the Greater 

London Council, is now home to the London Aquarium 

with more than 350 different water species from all parts 

of the world. County Hall also features museum Dali Universe, 

which displays over 500 works of art. One of the 

most renowned paintings in this museum is Spellbound, 

which decorated the set of famous Hitchcock thrillers 

back in 1945. If you’re attracted to theatre, stop by Theatre 

Museum at Russell Street and discover items and 

demonstrations from the theatre business, from makeup 

and costumes to acting performances. A tour through 

the Royal Opera House will introduce you to the secret 

world of one of the most famous international art houses. 

The guys will definitely want to visit at least one of 

London’s stadiums like Wembley, Emirates or Stamford 

Bridge, which could remind them of sports pleasures for 

a little while. 

Gotička katedrala Westminster Abbey / Gothic

Admiralty Arch 

Don’t Forget to Take a Walk 

Piccadilly Circus and Trafalgar Square are the two most 

famous squares in London. Trafalgar is London’s biggest 

square that features four museums: National Gallery, 

British Museum, Tate, and Madame Tussauds wax museum. 

Trafalgar Square also reveals four lion statues where 

tourists like to take pictures of themselves as a memory. 

Piccadilly Circus, renowned for the fountain with the 

Eros statue and numerous neon lights, is one of the city’s 

main traffic areas, as it marks the beginning of West End, 

City of Westminster and Regent Street. It was named after 

piccadill, which was a popular type of a neck collar 

that the local tailors used to make, and circus, which is a 

Latin word for open space. Piccadilly is also an excellent 

starting point for going shopping into the nearby Regent, 

Oxford or Bond Street, but also for a night out towards 

Leicester Street, which is filled with excellent clubs and 

pubs. In front of Tate, museum of modern art, we find 

a wonderful walking area where tourists like to rest and 

relax, but only for a short while because they’re about to 

spot The Globe, reconstructed theatre of Shakespeare 

in love. If it doesn’t start raining, which is typical of London, 

you can a have a wonderful experience of walking 

through some of the numerous parks and gardens, such 

as Hyde and Regent’s Park. And if you’re one of those 

people who like to speak their mind in public, Hyde Park 

is the place to go, because that’s where the people of 

London freely criticize individuals and the Government 

without fear of being punished for it. 

50 

Shopping of a Lifetime 

If you decide to enter Oxford Street, you will literally find 

yourself stuck in the shopping process. One of the largest 

streets in the world is three kilometres long and has over 

300 stores. This shopping-mania doesn’t only include Oxford 

Street, as Regent Street and Bond Street also offer 

exclusive stores. This is where you can find some of the 

great British department stores, such as the 100-year-old 

Selfridges, Debenhams, John Lewis or House of Fraser. 

Oxford Street is also known for its Christmas tradition. 

Every year, in the middle of November, one famous person 

is chosen to turn on the Christmas lights. So far, that 

honour bestowed upon Richard Branson, Spice Girls, Enrique 

Iglesias and many others. And last, but not least,

Dickens Inn, bivša pivovara iz 18. stoljeća / The Dickens Inn, 

former brewery dating back to the 18th century 

Putokazi / Signpost marking 

British Library 

you will also find yourself in front of the Harrods shopping 

centre, which is synonymous for luxurious shopping as it 

spreads across 80 thousand square metres over seven 

storeys. “Omnia Omnibus Ubique – Everything for Everyone, 

Everywhere” is Harrods’ slogan that does a great 

job of describing it. 

The Perfect Way to Relax 

London is also a place to go if you’re a beer lover, as 

it offers about five thousand pubs. After spending the 

day sightseeing, those small, irresistible establishments 

can provide perfect relaxation, and it is very difficult to 

resist the lure of black Guinness and a bunch of smiling 

faces, especially as communicating with them in any 

language of the world won’t be a problem after a few 

beers. After visiting the pub and having dinner, it might 

be interesting to visit some of the nightclubs that offer a 

really special type of atmosphere. Legendary clubs like 

Ministry of Sound and Notting Hill Arts Club offer something 

for everybody, and alongside pubs and clubs, you 

can also choose between 11.000 restaurants and coffee 

houses. 

Getting a Discount 

If you want to acquire free entrance to the most attractive 

sights in London, you should purchase the London 

Pass card, which costs between 38 and 120 pounds, 

depending on whether you’re intending to use public 

transportation. It gives you a free pass into Tower of London, 

St. Paul’s Cathedral, London Zoo, as well as a ride 

on the Themes, a tour through Stamford Bridge, free entrance 

to some cinemas and many other places, and 

it also enables you to get a discount in restaurants and 

stores. 

To Visit or Not to Visit 

If you’re making a list of cities and countries you simply 

must visit, and you’re having second thoughts about 

London, make sure to carefully analyze all of its flaws 

and advantages. London offers you a chance to encounter 

people of all nations, races and religions, hear 

hundreds of different languages, see and experience 

new and different things, buildings and styles. You will 

feel what it truly means to be a citizen of the modern 

world. On the other hand, prepare yourself for the fact 

that you will spend a lot of money in London. Their life 

standard is much higher than ours, which means that 

the prices are slightly different to those we’re accustomed 

to. For example, just one drink will cost you the 

same amount of money you would spend in Croatia 

on a round for three people. Still, the flight itself can be 

less expensive if you manage to book yourself on one 

of those “low cost” flights, which are excellently connected 

to Croatian airports nowadays. In the end, if you 

have a choice to make, choose what’s best for yourself 

– a city that is guaranteed to give you more than you 

expect, and most importantly, London will definitely expand 

your horizons.

Dizajnerski genij 

u srcu Balkana 

Optimizam, vedrina i prisnost, riječi su kojima se može opisati rezultat zajedničkog nastojanja 

lokalnog i globalnog znanja i iskustva koji su se udružili na projektu restorana Majik, dizajnerskog 

i gastro iskoraka od svjetskog značenja u samoj gradskoj jezgri Beograda 


Novi koncept u Beogradu “funky fusion food“, 

promoviran je početkom ove godine na otvaranju 

restorana Majik, u samoj gradskoj jezgri. 

Međutim, nove vrijednosti kojima je ovaj 

objekt počastio srpsku metropolu prelijevaju se daleko 

izvan granica njegova multinamjenskoga prehrambeno-zabavnog 

profila. Osim što funkcionira kao klasičan 

dnevni caffe, noćni klub te kao opremljen i atraktivan 

restoran s osobljem i ponudom s iskustvom najboljih 

svjetskih destinacija, zbog angažmana jednog vrhunskog 

imena svjetskog dizajna, Majik smješta Beograd 

na mapu relevantnih mjesta stručnog i konzumerskog 

zbivanja od općeg značenja.

“Da Vinci 21. stoljeća“, “novi Phillipe Starck“, epiteti 

su kojima se Karim Rashid časti u globalnom stručnom 

tisku. Rashid je rođen u Kairu, a osim egipatskoga, napola 

je i engleskog podrijetla. Do sada je ostvario oko 

2500 dizajnerskih intervencija, a među najpoznatijim klijentima 

su mu Alessi, Umbra, Prada, Coca-Cola i brojni 

drugi svjetski brandovi. U dizajnu interijera najveća 

ostvarenja su mu restorani Morimoto u Philadelphiji te 

nagrađivani hotel Semiramis u Ateni. Zadnjih godina 

Rashid je na vrhuncu svoje karijere, budući da je većinu 

nagrada, monografija i doktorata s područja dizajna 

interijera i industrijskog dizajna ostvario upravo od 2005. 

do danas. Odrastao i odgojen u Kanadi, trenutačno

Za Majikov jelovnik kažu kako je “živ“ / They say 

the Majik menu is “alive” 

živi i stvara na periferiji New Yorka, u mirnom ruralnom 

okružju. 

Sama priča o Majiku proteže se u 2004. godinu, kad 

je Karim Rashid održao svoju izložbu u Beogradu. Projekt 

restorana nastao je u suradnji s Majom Vidaković, 

predstavnicom domaćeg kadra, dizajnericom s američkom 

diplomom i praksom uređenja brojnih lokalnih 

klubova u Beogradu. Sam naziv restorana, osim što u 

sebi podrazumijeva igru riječi (čita se kao Magic), sadrži 

i inicijale Maje i Karima kao dodatan autorski pečat 

izvedbenog dvojca. Optimizam, vedrina i prisnost, riječi 

su kojima Maja opisuje rezultat zajedničkog nastojanja 

lokalnog i globalnog znanja i iskustva koji su se udružili 

na ovome mjestu. Za svoju ulogu u nastanku restorana, 

ona kaže kako je bila pretežito korektivna u odnosu na 

Rashidov genij, koji je samo trebalo svesti na gabarite 

lokalne ponude materijala, mentaliteta i s njime u vezi 

funkcionalnošću objekta. 

Kao prvi design-in restoran u Beogradu, Majik se promovira 

u remek-djelo avangardne umjetnosti, čije su 

glavne značajke fuzija jednostavnosti i kompleksnosti, 

igra linija i boja, osvjetljenje u snažnim, pozitivnim bojama 

izrazito vedrog tona. Moderna umjetnost i visoki 

stil zajednički su nazivnik svim intervencijama kojima je 

Rashid obogatio gastronomsku i ugostiteljsku ponudu 

Beograda, a posebno se ističe dizajnerska pažnja posvećena 

svakom detalju, koji u Majiku predstavljaju po 

jedno malo umjetničko djelo. Posebnost restorana svakako 

je činjenica kako je kuhinja odvojena od gostinskog 

prostora staklenom pregradom, što je promotorima 

dopustilo da restoranu trenutačno pridruže epitet 

ugostiteljskog prostora “bez tajni“. “Visoki stil od ljetne 

bašte do kuhinje“, moto je kojim promotori opisuju nakanu 

u vizualnim i gastrosadržajima restorana, a ovi potonji 

se temelje na specijalitetima istočnjačke kuhinje, s 

jedne, i one mediteranske, s druge strane. Malik se voli 

pohvaliti i izborom najkvalitetnijih vina sa svih kontinenata 

te bogatim izborom poslastica, a posebna pažnja 

u izvantradicionalnom repertoaru posvećuje se fresh & 

fantasy koktelima. Inače su među koktelima najpopularniji 

klasični mojito, dok je drugi po redu exotic passion. 

Svi se odreda temelje na prirodnim aromama. 

Za Majikov jelovnik još kažu kako je “živ“, što hoće reći 

kako se prilagođava željama gosta. Podrazumijeva oko 

50 vrsta jela, u mesnom se preporuča biftek ili pak bijelo 

meso, dok riblji jelovnik predvode brancin i originalni 

tuna steak. Vino se, pak, poslužuje na čaše od 2,5 dl. 

Kao obilježje radova s potpisom Karima Rashida inače 

se navodi pastelni kolorit, sasvim u suprotnosti s predrasudom 

o hladnoći modernog dizajna, a dodatni element 

koji upotpunjuje njegov autorski izričaj u Majiku 

još je dinamična i udobna ugostiteljska oprema, a ponajviše 

se efekta u tom smislu postiglo rasvjetom koja 

je u Majiku u bliskoj komunikaciji s ovim elementima. 

Još jedna sadržajna intervencija jest i postojanje DJ pulta 

u restoranu, koji, osim što otvara restoranu dodatnu 

dimenziju prostora za cjelovečernju zabavu i provod, 

sugerira još i strast i opredijeljenost samog dizajnera, jer 

Rashid je, poznato je, pored karijere svjetski poznatog i 

priznatog imena industrijskog dizajna, još i ugledan DJ 

metropola u kojima radi i živi.

Optimism, cheerfulness and intimacy – these are the words that 

can describe the result of a joint attempt by local and global 

knowledge and experience that joined forces on the project of 

restaurant Majik, which signaled a world-caliber designer and 

gastronomic step forward in the very centre of Belgrade

Kroz prozore neobičnih oblika može se naslutiti carstvo ljepote koje se krije iza njih / Through the 

incommon shapes windows you can flair a kingdom of a beauty that stands behind 

The new concept in Belgrade, “funky fusion food”, 

was promoted at the start of this year with the 

opening of restaurant Majik in the very centre of 

the city. However, the new values this object brings 

to the capital of Serbia easily transcend the boundaries 

of its multifunctional restaurant/entertainment profile. 

Besides functioning as a classic daytime coffee bar, a 

nightclub and an attractively furnished restaurant with 

the staff and offering of the finest destinations in the 

world, the fact that a top figure of world design was 

hired places Majik and Belgrade to the map of relevant 

and generally important locations of the consumer’s 

profession. 

“Da Vinci of the 21st century” or “the new Philippe 

Starck” are some of the terms that are used in the 

world’s professional press to describe Karim Rashid. He 

was born in Cairo and carries both the Egyptian and 

English descent. He takes credit for about 2500 designer 

interventions up until now, and some of his most 

famous clients include Alessi, Umbra, Prada, Coca- 

Cola and other world brands. As far as interior design 

is concerned, his greatest accomplishments include 

Morimoto restaurants in Philadelphia and the award- 

56 

winning Semiramis Hotel in Athens. Over the course of 

the last several years, Rashid has really hit the peak of 

his career, as he has won the majority of his awards, 

monographs and PHD degrees in the fields of interior 

design and industrial design between 2005 and today. 

Born and raised in Canada, he currently lives and creates 

in the suburbs of New York, within a peaceful rural 

environment. 

The genesis of the Majik story goes back to 2004, which is 

when Karim Rashid held an exhibit in Belgrade. The restaurant 

project was created in cooperation with Maja 

Vidaković, a local designer with an American diploma 

and the practice of decorating numerous clubs in Belgrade. 

The very name of the restaurant, besides featuring 

a nice twist with words (it is pronounced identically 

to Magic), also features initials of both Maja and Karim 

as the additional stamp for the performance of the pair 

of authors. Optimism, cheerfulness and intimacy – these 

are the words that Maja uses to describe the result of local 

and global knowledge and experience that joined 

forces in this location. She states that her role in the creation 

of the restaurant was mostly corrective in terms of 

Rashid’s genius, as she just had to adjust it to the con-

Kuhinja je odvojena od gostinskog prostora samo 

staklenom pregradom / The kitchen and the dining 

space are divided by a glass surface 

text of the local material offering, local mentality and 

the object’s functionality. 

As the first design-in restaurant in Belgrade, Majik is promoted 

as the masterpiece of avant-garde art, which is 

highlighted by the fusion of simplicity and complexity, interactions 

of lines and colours, and strong and positive 

lighting colours that reflect explicitly bright tones. Modern 

art and high style are the common denominator to 

all interventions Rashid preformed to improve Belgrade’s 

gastronomic and restaurant offering, and we must especially 

point out the amount of designer attention that was 

given to every detail in Majik, as each of them represents 

a small work of art. The restaurant also stands out thanks 

to the fact that the kitchen and the dining space are divided 

by a glass surface, which urged the promoters to 

claim that this was “a restaurant with no secrets”. They 

also use the motto “High style from the summer garden 

to the kitchen” to describe the intent in the restaurant’s 

visual and gastronomic offering, and the latter is based 

on specialties from both the Eastern and the Mediterranean 

cuisine. Majik also likes to brag with the fact that it 

features the finest selection of wines from every continent 

and a rich list of desserts, while special attention was given 

to fresh & fantasy cocktails. The most popular cocktail 

is the classic mojito, followed by exotic passion, and they 

are all based on natural aromas. 

They say the Majik menu is still “alive”, which implies that 

the guests can put their own twist to it. It features about 

50 different meals; the meat dishes are highlighted by 

beefsteaks and white meat, while the fish menu includes 

bass and original tuna steak. The wine is served in 2,5- 

decilitre glasses. 

Karim Rashid’s works are usually highlighted by usage 

of pastel colours, which is completely opposite to the 

prejudices of the cold nature of modern design, and his 

author expressions in Majik were further completed by 

the dynamic and comfortable restaurant equipment, 

which is highlighted by the lighting that achieves close 

communication to these elements. Another meaningful 

intervention appears in the form of a DJ counter, which 

not only adds a dimension of an all-night party location 

to the restaurant, but also suggests the passion and preferences 

of the designer himself, because it is well known 

that Rashid, in addition to being a world-famous icon 

in industrial design, also works as a respected DJ in the 

capitals he resides in.

Privatna mitologija 

Pauline Jazviæ 

“U svakom vizualnom djelu, vidljivost je rezultat nejasnog rada ruke. Ta vidljivost putuje kroz 

tijelo, od oka prema ruci, te ulazi u pogled. Tamo, u daljini prapočetaka, prethodi li oko ruci ili 

obrnuto Radi li se o ručnom alatu ili mentalnom alatu Alat proizlazi iz radnje, radnja proizlazi 

iz potrebe. U arhaičnoj crnoj komori, slike se formiraju i artikuliraju jedne s drugima. Govore 

šutljiv jezik, poput pokreta ruke” 

Bernard Noël 

Piše: Nataša Bodrožić 

Akademska slikarica Paulina Jazvić u posljednjih 

desetak godina vješto balansira između medija 

slikarstva i (prostorne) instalacije, uz stalnu prisutnost 

u modnom dizajnu, u kojemu je napravila 

svoje prve profesionalne korake. Rođena je 1973. u Zagrebu, 

diplomirala je dizajn odjeće i tekstila na Tekstilnotehnološkom 

fakultetu 1995., a grafiku na Akademiji likovnih 

umjetnosti 2001. godine, u klasi profesora Miroslava 

Šuteja.

“Mala prodavaonica užasa”, izložba iz 2002. godine u 

Galeriji Matice hrvatske, na neki je način poslužila kao 

uvod u umjetnički svijet Pauline Jazvić, odškrinuvši poklopac 

njezine “tajne kutije” iz koje su izišli deseci malih predmeta, 

lutaka, jastučića, slika, kutijica, raznobojnih papirića, 

mnoštvo stvarčica koje čine imaginarij jedne “odrasle 

djevojčice”, ali i ozbiljne umjetnice koja kritički promišlja 

vlastitu realnost. Koristeći pritom jezik kojim lako odašilje 

poruke i široj publici, umjetnica gradi svoj nadasve pre-


Dodir umjetnosti 

poznatljiv izraz. U njezinim instalacijama, sastavljenim od 

različitih materijala, nađenih i napravljenih predmeta, dominira 

sakupljački element. Predmeti iz svakodnevice su 

autorskom intervencijom prebačeni u domenu umjetnosti, 

stvarajući novu atmosferu i dobivajući nova značenja. 

Instalacija je prekrila zidove galerije, a objekti su visjeli i sa 

stropa, govoreći o hipermaterijalnoj stvarnosti suvremenog 

čovjeka, nudeći ironijski odmak, ali i poziv posjetitelju 

da uđe u taj zaigrani, pomalo mistični svijet rastavljenih 

lutaka, paketića u bojama, te se izgubi u sitnim detaljima 

koji kao da skrivaju neki veliki odgovor. 

Iste je godine Paulina Jazvić nominirana za Nagradu “Radoslav 

Putar”, jedno od najprestižnijih priznanja za suvremenu 

vizualnu umjetnost, pri čemu se predstavila radom 

“Pinky Room”, još jednom instalacijom u kojoj predmeti 

vise sa stropa gotovo nadrealno lebdeći u zraku, iza ružičastog 

paravana, stvarajući konstelacije slične sjećanju 

na san ili gotovo nematerijalne sjene prošlosti. 

Na izložbi u galeriji “Galženica” iduće godine, Paulina je 

potopila svoju “Malu prodavaonicu užasa”, svakodnevne 

poruke, niz osobnih stvari, na neki način izlažući “svoju 

prošlost potisnutu u podsvijest, uspomene uronjene u 

vodu”. Sve pluta u vodom ispunjenim vrećama za građevinski 

otpad: djetetove igračke, vrpce za kosu, termometar, 

cipele… 

Konceptualno-vizualizirani niz sakupljačkih izložbi, Paulina 

Jazvić zaokružila je početkom prošle godine u Studiju 

“Josip Račić” u Zagrebu, novom prostornom instalacijom 

koju je nazvala “Little Menu”. U bijelom galerijskom prostoru 

umjetnica je postavila stol za osam uzvanika s bijelim 

stolnjakom, na kojem je bilo osam tanjura i nekoliko zdjela 

s različitim sadržajima. Bijela košulja s čavlima uredno 

je složena i poslužena uz vino. Delikatna pojavnost bijele 

čipke leži na bijelom tanjuru stvarajući tek primjetnu igru 

svjetla i sjene, na neki način aktualizirajući prazninu. Jedna 

cigareta leži na tanjuru do. Viljuška i nož postavljeni su 

sa svake strane. Lutke plivaju u vodi posluženoj kao juha, 

a rezanci od lutaka Barbie i ribarskog konca ponuđeni 

su kao glavno jelo. Riječima Željka Marciuša u katalogu 

izložbe, Paulina Jazvić svojim sakupljačkim nagonom i 

promjenom konteksta upotrebnih predmeta, odnosno 

serviranjem hladnih i neobičnih, zapravo čak, morbidnonadrealnih 

jela, plete svoje relacijske priče koje propitkuju 

vrlo ironično, ako ne i cinično, njezine uloge u svakodnevnom 

životu: žene, majke, umjetnice, predavačice na fakultetu, 

odnosno njezine odnose prema djetetu, muškarcima, 

ženama, majčinstvu, tradiciji, slikarstvu i umjetnosti, 

robnim markama i cigaretama, iz čega se može izvesti niz 

drugih odnosa i struktura tranzicijskog društva koje se ne 

pokušava promijeniti – u njemu valja preživjeti. 

Slike predstavljaju drugi, jednako važan segment rada 

Pauline Jazvić. Njezino slikarstvo moguće je povezati s 

dva pojma: impulsom i imaginacijom. Kako kaže Ivana 

Školnik kada opisuje njezin rad, “sve viđeno i doživljeno 

ona upija da bi prinudila svoju umjetnost na djelovanje. 

I crtežom, koji je najčešće diskurzivan (karikaturalan, pa 

čak i ironičan), i bojom svoja saznanja i osjećanja osvjetljava 

na primjeren način. Autoričin sustav simbola nije 

manje važan od odabira njezinih boja. Jer znakovi, od 

onih jedva vidljivih kurzivnih do velikih i impresivnih gesta, 

jesu jednakovrijedan medij njezina razumijevanja i tumačenja 

svijeta.” 

Ove se godine dvjema reprezentativnim izložbama, u 

galeriji “Karas” te izložbenom prostoru Porezne uprave, 

63

Nosila je 37... / She wore 37... 

Paulina Jazvić predstavila kao samosvjesna slikarica koja 

proširuje granice medija slike stvarajući vrlo osoban, višeslojan 

likovni govor. Intimne poruke, gotovo dnevnički zapisi, 

verbalni tragovi svakodnevice, preneseni na platna 

velikih dimenzija, utopljeni u nanose boje te crtež koji se 

pojavljuje kao nejasna aluzija, gotovo podsvjesni impuls, 

upečatljivi su detalji raspoređeni u cjelinu kompozicije. Naslovi 

djela poput “Ti čuvaš me od familije”, “Neću heavy 

metal”, “Oko moje glave” ili “Čovjek u nestajanju” još jednom 

podcrtavaju relacijsku komponentu, pozivajući promatrača 

na dijalog, potičući imaginaciju, ocrtavajući konture 

nove priče bez jasnog početka i kraja. Paulina Jazvić 

tako postiže “otvorenost djela”, te nudi “izvjesne naznake 

privatne mitologije koje dopuštaju, štoviše, i potiču odčitavanja 

širokog asocijativnog spektra” (Darko Glavan). 

64 

Odlučno protiv svake konvencije u formalno-likovnom i 

tehnološkom aspektu, Paulinino slikarstvo nastaje u potpunoj, 

gotovo anarhoidnoj slobodi, stvarano gotovo jedino 

po načelu slobodnih asocijacija, uključujući tu često i 

automatizam likovnog zapisa te upotrebu različitih materijala, 

kolaža, tkanine, stare čipke. 

Paulina Jazvić se najprije potvrdila kao dizajnerica odjeće 

i tekstila. Od studentskih se dana proslavila modnim 

revijama na Fashion newsu i Smirnoff International Fashion 

Awardu u Zagrebu i Dublinu, modnim revijama u 

Mariboru i na 31. zagrebačkom salonu, te Fashion Newsu 

u Opatiji, gdje je izlagala djela izrazite likovnosti na rubu 

umjetničkih instalacija. Danas je profesorica na Tekstilnotehnološkom 

fakultetu u Zagrebu, ali i aktivna sudionica 

suvremene umjetničke scene.


Touch of art 

Written by: Nataša Bodrožić 

Private Mythology 

of Paulina Jazviæ 

“In every visual piece of work, visibility stands as the result of the hand’s vague actions. That 

visibility travels through the body, from the eye towards the hand, and enters the vision area. 

But in the distance of ancient beginnings, does the eye precede the hand or is it the other way 

around Are we talking about manual or mental tools Tools are the result of actions, while 

actions are caused by needs. In an archaic black chamber, pictures are formed and articulated 

with each other. They speak a silent language, similar to a hand movement” 

Bernard Noel 

Academic painter Paulina Jazvić has been skilfully 

balancing between painting and (spatial) 

installation for the last ten years, and she has 

also been a constant presence in fashion design, 

which is where she started her professional career. 

She was born in Zagreb in 1973, she graduated in clothes 

and textile design at the Faculty of Textile and Technology 

in 1995, and she also graduated in graphics at the 

Academy of Fine Arts in 2001, in the class of professor Miroslav 

Šutej. 

“Little Store of Horror”, a 2002 exhibit organized at Matica 

Hrvatska, has served as an introduction to the artistic 

world of Paulina Jazvić by removing the cover from her 

“secret box” that revealed dozens of little objects, dolls, 

cushions, pictures, little boxes, papers of different colours, 

and many other things that create an imaginary world 

of “a grown-up little girl” who is also a serious artist that 

critically analyzes her own reality. By using the language 

that easily delivers messages to broader circles of the audience, 

the artist continues to build her very recognizable 

style. Her installations, which consist of different materials 

and objects that were either found or created by the 

artist, are dominated by the element of collection. The 

author makes an intervention that transfers various everyday 

objects into the field of art, while creating a new 

atmosphere and receiving new meanings. The installa- 

65

Kravice / Little cows 


I cant wait 


tion covered the gallery walls and objects were hanging 

from the ceiling as they spoke of the modern man’s 

hyper-material reality, but the performance also offered 

a touch of irony while inviting the visitor into this playful, 

slightly mystical world of dismantled dolls and coloured little 

packages, provoking him to lose himself in tiny details 

that seem to know all the big answers. 

In that same year, Paulina Jazvić was nominated for the 

Radoslav Putar Award, which is one of the most prestigious 

awards for contemporary visual art. That was the result 

of her project “Pinky Room”, which is another installation 

that features objects hanging from the ceiling while 

floating on air in almost surreal fashion. They hide behind 

a pink partition as they create constellations that resemble 

a dream or almost immaterial shadows of the past. 

At the exhibit in gallery “Galženica” the following year, 

Paulina sank her “Little Store of Horror”, as well as some 

everyday messages, a pile of her personal things, which 

displayed “her past that is pushed into subconscious, her 

memories immersed into water”. Everything ended up 

floating in water filled with construction-waste bags: children 

toys, hair ribbons, thermometer, shoes... 

At the start of last year, Paulina Jazvić completed this 

conceptual-visualizing string of collector exhibits in Josip 

Račić Studio in Zagreb by creating a new spatial installation 

she called “Little Menu”. The artist filled the white gal- 

66 

lery space with a table for eight, and it featured a white 

tablecloth, eight plates and several dishes with different 

things in them. A white shirt with nails was folded and 

casually served with wine. The delicate appearance of 

white lace on a white plate creates a barely noticeable 

interaction of light and shadow, which deals with the issue 

of emptiness in a way. One cigarette can be found 

on the plate next to it, with fork and knife on each side 

of it. Dolls are swimming in water that is served like soup, 

with noodles made of Barbie dolls and fishermen fibre 

symbolizing the main course. According to Željko Marciuš 

in the exhibit’s catalogue, Paulina Jazvić uses her collector 

instincts and the process of changing the objects’ 

contexts, which is achieved by serving cold and unusual, 

even morbidly surreal meals, to braid together her relation 

stories that question certain everyday-life roles in a 

very ironic and cynical way: those are the roles of wife, 

mother, artist, university teacher, as well as her relationships 

with children, men, women, motherhood, tradition, 

painting, art, fashion brands and cigarettes. All these elements 

can be used to explain various other relations and 

structures of a transitional society that is not attempted to 

be changed – it just has to be survived. 

Paintings present a second, but equally important aspect 

of Paulina Jezvić’s work. Her painting can be connected 

with two terms: impulse and imagination. According to

Slika za gospođu / A portrait for the lady 

Ivana Školnik in an analysis of her work, “she absorbs everything 

she sees and experiences in order to force her 

art into action. She uses drawings, which are usually discursive 

(cartoonish, even ironic), and paintings to reflect 

her discoveries and feelings in appropriate manner. The 

author’s system of symbols is not any less important than 

her choice of colour. Because those symbols, from barely 

visible cursive ones to large and impressive gestures, are 

an equally valuable medium of her understandings and 

interpretations of the world.” 

With her two this year’s representative exhibits, which were 

organized at “Karas” gallery and the IRS exhibit room, 

Paulina Jazvić presented herself as a self-confident painter 

who transcends the medium boundaries by creating a 

very personal, multi-layered art style. Intimate notes that 

resemble a diary, verbal traces of the everyday life that 

are conveyed on a large-sized canvas and drowned in 

drapes of paint, as well as drawings that appear in the 

form of obscure allusions and near-subconscious impulses 

– all these things are distinctive details that create a 

composition unit. Titles like “You Guard Me from Family”, 

No Heavy Metal”, “Eye in My Head” or “A Disappearing 

Man” again emphasize the relation component, as they 

challenge the observer into dialogue, encourage imagination 

and draw outlines of a new story with no clear 

beginning or end. Paulina Jazvić does it to “open up her 

work” as she offers “certain hints of a private mythology 

that allows, even encourages interpretations of a broad 

spectre of associations” (Darko Glavan). 

Fiercely fighting against any type of convention in formal, 

artistic or technological aspects, Paulina’s paintings are 

created in an environment of anarchic freedom, which 

follows the sole principle of free associations that include 

the automatism of a work of art, as well as the usage of 

different materials like collage, fabric and old lace. 

Paulina Jazvić originally established herself as a designer 

of clothes and textile. During her college days, she became 

renowned for fashion shows at Fashion News and 

the Smirnoff International Fashion Award in Zagreb and 

Dublin, as well as for fashion shows in Maribor, at the 31st 

salon in Zagreb, and the Fashion News in Opatija, which is 

where she displayed extremely artistic pieces of work that 

were on the verge of being identified as artistic installations. 

These days, she works as a professor at the Faculty 

of Textile and Technology in Zagreb, but she is also a very 

active participant on the contemporary art scene.

Falconara Charming House & Resort 

Elegantni raj 

u naruèju povijesti 

Arhitektonsku cjelinu Falconare čine dva prostorno i “vremenski“ odvojena objekta, koji su, 

kako preuređenjem jednoga, tako i izgradnjom drugoga, u iznimnom ambijentalnom kontekstu 

zadržali unificiranu estetsku vrijednost

U 

kategoriji “romantičnih hotela“, Falconara 

Charming House & Resort je poseban biser već 

samim svojim položajem – u srcu Mediterana, 

na Siciliji, lokalitetu zvanom Marina di Butera, 

na pola puta između gradova Agrigenta i Raguse. 

Osnovne karakteristike toga maloga hotelskog resorta 

jesu izrazita orijentacija na plažu i ambijent koji djeluje 

gotovo nestvarno. Plaža je malena, ali uređena s ukusom 

i stilom. Raspored ležaljki, suncobrana, mjesta za 

kupače je fiksiran i u skladu s gabaritima i prirodnim 

okružjem. Zaljev u kojemu su plaža i resort također je 

malen, pitoreskan, a povijesno je vezan uz istoimenu 

obrambenu utvrdu iz vremena normanske vladavine u 

srednjem vijeku. Intrigantan objekt namijenjen kao posebna 

atrakcija posjetiteljima, može se reći, integralan 

je element hotelske ponude, budući da stvara osnovu 

za ambijentalnost čitavog područja u kojemu je hotel 

smješten. U dohvatu posjetiteljima su brojni vrijedni kulturni 

lokaliteti: Valle dei templi u Agrigentu, zatim po 

mozaicima poznata Villa del Casale u Piazzi Armerini, 

po keramici Caltagirone, dok se od baroknih bisera 

spominju još i Ragusa Ibla, Modica i Scicli. 

Četiri zvjezdice krase resort, sastavljen od dvaju odvojenih 

objekata, među kojima je glavni Club house, novogradnja 

s recepcijom, predvorjem, glavninom soba 

te centrom zdravlja, ljepote i opuštanja s turskom kupelji, 

dvjema masažnim sobama te prostorijama za fitness 

i opuštanje. Plaža je od ovog objekta udaljena samo 

69

70 

Predvorje hotela / Hotel’s lobby 

dvjestotinjak metara. Što se soba tiče, Falconara ih ima 

65, od kojih je 50 “običnih“ dvokrevetnih, 11 u apartmanskom 

smještaju i četiri deluxe apartmana. Sobe su 

raspoređene unutar spomenutog Club housea i drugog 

objekta resorta, preuređene depandanse same utvrde, 

smještene tik uz more i nazvane La fattoria. Tu je 25 

soba, a svaka je nazvana imenom pojedinog vlasnika 

utvrde. Fantastičan pogled iz gotovo svake prostorije 

hotela, od izvanredne restoranske vizure utvrde, do pogleda 

na more iz svake od soba smještenih u prizemlju i 

na katovima objekata, možda je najsnažnija preporuka 

za boravak u Falconari. Što se tiče konzumacije, ona je, 

osim restorana, predviđena još u plažnom objektu, na 

terasi te u baru uz bazen. 

Arhitektonsku cjelinu resorta, dakle, čine dva prostorno 

i “vremenski“ odvojena objekta. Međutim, zbog promišljenih 

intervencija kod izgradnje jednoga, novijega, te 

preuređenja drugoga, povijesnog objekta, Falconara 

je zadržala unificiranu estetsku vrijednost unutar dviju 

različitih arhitektonskih i kontekstualnih jedinica. Falconara 

je mjesto gdje su dizajneri kod uređenja hotelskog 

prostora bili prisiljeni pomiriti prirodu i povijest s umjetnošću. 

Jednostavnost i ogoljenost materijala sredstvo 

su kojim se željelo očuvati taj izričaj mediteranske prirodnosti 

i povijesnosti. Dominantna je upotreba kamena 

i drva, sve od predvorja do soba. Podne matrice 

se temelje na terakoti i šljunku, a sve skupa je strogo 

u službi odražavanja i očuvanja autentične sicilijanske 

atmosfere. Mediteranski ugođaj prisutan je disciplinirano, 

u svakom elementu, od boje do konstrukcije, u 

eksterijerima uz intenzivnu uporabu autohtonog raslinja. 

No koliko su arhitekti Antonio Vitale i B. Castrense 

uspješno ostavili vanjštinu resorta netaknutom, savršeno 

ekološki prikladnom, toliko je dvojac dizajnera interijera, 

Roberto i Antonia Chiaramonte Bordonaro, unutrašnjost 

zahvatio modernim elementima s naglaskom 

na udobnosti i prostranosti, sasvim suprotno intimističkom, 

komornom i minimalističkom izričaju koji Falconara 

odaje izvana. Ravna linija tako je u izravnoj komunikaciji 

s mediteranskim konstrukcijskim elementima, 

poput lukova, zatim brojnim skulpturnim instalacijama, 

antiknim namještajem, a kao stilsko sredstvo uklopljena 

je u te elemente s funkcijom otvaranja, širenja cjelokupnog 

unutarnjeg prostora. Pogotovo je to primjetno 

u predvorju, koji je ovakvim pristupom dobio najviše. 

Apartmani su, pak, počašćeni individualnim tretmanom, 

s ponekim zajedničkim obilježjem, poput “ruralnih“ 

drvenih stropnih konstrukcija ili spomenutih antiknih 

kreveta i sobne opreme, dok su u cjelini u potpunosti 

zadržali moderni štih. Na trenutke čak progresivan u koloritu 

i geometriji. Zajednički nazivnik uređenja cjeline 

interijera zasigurno bi bila elegancija, u kombinaciji s 

udobnošću i intimom. 

Posebnost Falconare, osim samih fizičkih osobina, arhitektonskih 

i drugih estetskih kvaliteta te uvjeta smještaja, 

zasigurno je smještaj na osami. Najbliže prodavaonice 

nalaze se u gradskom naselju udaljenom 11 kilometara 

od resorta, a u tu je svrhu moguće iznajmiti automobil. 

Osim svih pogodnosti za okrjepu i uživanje, resort posjeduje 

i rekreacijske pogone kao što su teniski teren i bazen, 

koji se kombiniraju s ipak najvažnijom, dominantnom 

(ne)aktivnošću zbog koje se dolazi u ovaj zabačeni raj 

na Siciliji – sunčanje na plaži s magičnim ugođajem.

The Falconara architectonic unit consists of 

two spatially and “chronologically” separated 

objects, one of which was renovated and the 

other one was just built, and they managed to 

retain their unified aesthetical value in a context 

of exceptional ambience 

In a category of “romantic hotels”, Falconara Charming 

House & Resort is a special type of treasure due 

to its location – it is situated in the heart of the Mediterranean, 

at a location called Marina di Butera on 

the island of Sicily, halfway between towns Agrigento 

and Ragusa. The basic characteristics of this small hotel 

resort are extreme orientation towards the beach and a 

slightly surreal ambience. The beach is quite small, but 

decorated with plenty of taste and style. Deckchairs, 

sun umbrellas and spots for swimmers have predetermined 

positions that are in harmony with the location 

size and the natural environment. The bay that features 

the beach and the resort is also quite small and picturesque, 

while also being historically connected to the 

medieval fortress from the period when the Normans 

ruled this island. The intriguing object that is offered as a 

72 

special attraction for visitors is, in a way, an integral element 

of the hotel offering because it creates the basis 

for the specific ambience of this entire area. Visitors can 

also find numerous other cultural locations: Valle dei 

Templi in Agrigento, Villa del Casale in Piazza Armerina 

known for its mosaics, Caltagirone known for its ceramics, 

along with some other baroque pearls like Ragusa 

Ibla, Modica and Scicli. 

This is a four-star resort, and it consists of two separated 

objects; the main one is Club House, which is a new 

building featuring a reception desk, lobby, majority of 

rooms, and a centre for health, beauty and relaxation 

with Turkish baths, two massage rooms and fitness and 

relaxation rooms. The beach is merely 200 metres away 

from this object. Falconara offers 65 rooms, 50 of which 

are “regular” rooms with two beds, and there are also 

11 suits and four deluxe suits. The rooms are divided between 

the previously mentioned Club House and the 

resort’s other object called La Fattoria, which is a renovated 

annexe of the fortress itself, located right next 

to the sea. This establishment features 25 rooms, and 

each of them carries the name of some of the fortress’ 

owners. Every room of the hotel offers an incredible 

view, from the amazing restaurant view of the fortress, 

to each of the rooms on the ground floor and upper 

floors revealing incredible views of the sea, and this just 

might be the strongest recommendation to visit Falconara. 

As far as wining and dining, you can go to the

Dizajneri su kod uređenja hotelskog prostora pomirili prirodu 

i povijest s umjetnošću / While decorating, designers 

combined nature and history with art 

Prostrana soba / Spacious room 

restaurant, the beach object, the terrace or the bar 

next to the swimming pool. 

We already mentioned that the resort’s architectonic 

unit consists of two spatially and “chronologically” 

separated objects. However, because the processes 

of building the new object and renovating the historical 

object were very carefully planned, Falconara 

managed to retain the unified aesthetical value within 

the two different architectonic and contextual units. 

Falconara is a place where designers were forced to 

combine nature and history with art. The simplicity and 

bareness of materials were used in order to preserve 

that atmosphere of Mediterranean nature and history. 

Stone and wood were predominantly used, all the way 

from the lobby to the rooms. Floor patterns were based 

on terracotta and gravel, which is again in the service 

of preserving that authentic Sicilian atmosphere. The 

Mediterranean vibe has a disciplined sense of presence 

in every element, from colour to construction, 

and it is accompanied by usage of authentic plants in 

the exterior. But regardless of how architects Antonio 

Vitale and B. Castrense managed to keep the resort’s 

outdoor sections untouched and ecologically perfectly 

acceptable, the pair of interior designers, Roberto 

and Antonia Chiaramonte, submitted the interior to a 

number of modern elements with emphasis on comfort 

and spaciousness, completely in contrast to the intimate, 

subtle and minimalist vibration that Falconara 

creates on the outside. The straight line is in direct communication 

with Mediterranean construction elements, 

such as arches, numerous sculptural installations and 

antique furniture, and it is used as a stylistic statement 

that completes those elements with the purpose of 

opening and increasing the sense of size of the entire 

interior space. This method is particularly noticeable in 

the lobby, which most benefited from it. The suites received 

individual treatments, but they do touch some 

common ground, like “rural” wooden ceiling constructions 

or the abovementioned antique beds and room 

furniture, while still retaining that modern look, which 

is sometimes even progressive in terms of colours and 

geometry. The entire process of this hotel’s interior decoration 

can be described as elegant, in combination 

with comfort and intimacy. 

Besides for its physical, architectonic and other aesthetical 

qualities combined with the accommodation 

conditions, Falconara is also special for its isolated location. 

The nearest shops can be found in towns that 

are 11 kilometres from the resort, and you can easily 

reach it by renting a car. In addition to everything the 

hotel offers for relaxation and pleasure, you can also 

find recreational facilities like tennis courts and swimming 

pools, which are combined with the most important 

and dominant (in)activity that causes people to 

come to this isolated Sicilian paradise – sunbathing on 

a magical beach.

Dom snova 

Moderna oaza 

s Nothing Hilla 

Sjećate li se kuće u kojoj su se (za)ljubili Julia Roberts i Hugh Grant u filmu “Vjerujem u ljubav“ 

Oaza s Nothing Hilla koju vam predstavljamo predivna je kuća viktorijanskog stila i podsjeća baš 

na kuću iz poznate ljubavne priče. Stanarima koji u njoj žive ona je pravi bedem sigurnosti i ljubavi 

isprepleten modernim stilom 


Prvi zahtjev koji je dizajnersko-arhitektonski studio 

Found Associates dobio od vlasnika kuće u 

Nothing Hillu bio je napraviti otvoren dizajnerski 

prostor isprepleten s intimnim prostorima. Svjetski 

poznati dizajneri i arhitekti prionuli su projektiranju i dizajniranju 

te stvorili jedan poseban londonski dom. Sam 

izgled kuće tipičan je za gradsko središte Londona. Bijela 

kuća, brojni prozori, dva kata i treći s otvorenom terasom. 

Još jedna tipičnost ove engleske kuće je i u tome 

što je izgrađena u nizu, pokraj drugih izvana sličnih kuća 

75

Drveni zid knjižnice / Atimber library wall 

koje su spojene bočnim stranama zidova. Prednji ulaz je 

rezerviran samo za jednog stanara i često je od drugih 

kuća u nizu odijeljen malim zidićem u kojem je posađeno 

cvijeće. 

Cijeli prostor stana podijeljen je u manje prostore, čime 

je dobiveno na prostranosti i intimnosti. Pomična drvena 

vrata, postavljena između prizemlja i podruma, moćna 

su vertikalna veza između dviju razina stana. Podnice od 

crnog hrasta u prizemlju i podrumu savršeno se uklapaju 

s tamno obojenim vanjskim podom prizemne terase 

i suterenskim vrtom. Kupaonica, obložena kamenom, 

povezana je sa sobom za presvlačenje na prvom katu 

stubama obloženim kamenom. Središnji blok kupaonice 

organizira drugi kat u kabinet i gostinsku sobu, s drvenim 

zidom knjižnice koji se proteže cijelom lijevom stranom 

i povezuje dva dijela kata, dok prikrivena klizna vrata 

daju mogućnost da se prostor razdvoji. Glavni apartman 

se sastoji od spavaće sobe, svlačionice i dodatne 

sobe. Na trećem katu su svi pregradni zidovi uklonjeni 

te je na taj način stvorena jedna velika otvorena dječja 

soba pod krovom s nagibom. Polukat razina za pohranu 

i igru prostorno odjeljuje područje za dječaka i djevojčicu, 

s otvorenim prostorom ispod kupaonice. U kuću 

76 

su uvedena i pametna rješenja 21. stoljeća. Tako se sve 

prostorije griju podnim grijanjem, što uvelike olakšava 

zagrijavanje cijeloga stana. 

Planski postavljena rasvjeta cijelom unutarnjem prostoru 

daje najbolje moguće svjetlo. Monumentalan luster 

u stubištu sastoji se od mnoštva malih svjetiljki i služi kao 

dodatna dekoracija prostoru. U stanu se nalazi i nekoliko 

fotografija gejši i skulptura Bude, što mu daje dozu egzotičnosti. 

Sam interijer dizajniran je minimalistički, što odgovara 

modernoj arhitekturi i raspodjeli prostorija unutar 

stana. Kompleknost uređenja vidi se u postavljenim zidovima, 

koji se savršeno isprepleću s otvorenim prostorima 

i malom galerijom na vrhu stubišta, koja povezuje 

više prostorije. Sam interijer stana je uređen u crno-bijeloj 

kombinaciji i ostavlja dojam uglađenosti i profinjenosti. 

Studio koji razumije svoje klijente 

Found Associates je dizajnersko-arhitektonski studio koji 

je prije više od 10 godina osnovao Richard Found. Found 

je čovjek za kojega kažu da istinski razumije proizvodnju 

prepoznatljivog eksterijera i interijera za neke od 

vrhunskih svjetskih brandova. U posljednjih deset godina, 

nagrađivani tim arhitekata i dizajnera Found Associates

Kupaonica / Bathroom 

Skulptura Bude / 

Buddha sculpture 

dosljedno je dodavao vrijednosti i ljepotu okruženjima 

u maloprodaji. Svoje koncepte oblikuju brzo i prema 

željama luksuznih portfelja, poput Virgin Atlantica, Bulthaupa, 

Selfridgesa, M&C Saatchija, Harveya Nicholsa 

i Harrodsa. Spremnošću da u kratkom roku projektiraju 

inovacije te rentabilnošću, u kratkom su roku privukli 

pažnju tvrtki prijevoznika kao što su Hobbs, Carphone 

skladišta, Clarks, Jigsaw i Kurt Gajgerov. Radeći na tim 

projektima, studio je ubrzo uvidio priliku za ulazak u međunarodni 

posao. Danas, nakon deset godina rada, 

Found Associates ne slavi samo desetu obljetnicu tvrtke 

nego i vrijednost svojih projekata. Anya Hindmarch, 

dizajnerica luksuznih torbi i cipela, njihov je najnoviji 

klijent. Nakon što je razvijen globalni koncept za trgovine 

u Pekingu, Moskvi, Tokiju i Kuvajtu, na rujanskom 

tjednu mode otkriven je i novi maloprodajni koncept za 

Hindmarch’s ulični admiralski brod. Uz seksi crno-staklenu 

frontu u obliku zrcala i modernim nostalgija interijerom, 

Found je stvorio prostor koji je u potpunosti u skladu 

s Hindmarch imidžem. “Pozadina koja čini da naše 

torbe i cipele izgledaju vruće, vrlo je važan izraz vrijednosti

Found odlično je dizajnirao pozadinu koja nadopunjuje 

naše proizvode. Naš su naputak za rad shvatili savršeno 

i zbog toga su bili nevjerojatno efikasni. Najvažnije od 

svega, oni su shvatili bit projekta!” Studio Found Associates 

ponosan je na svoju fleksibilnost, univerzalni dizajn 

usluga koje nudi i mogućnost da iz samog koncepta 

dizajna svom klijentu ponudi finalni projekt. Želite li stići 

do vrha, prvi korak je jasno razumijevanje ciljeva svakog 

pojedinog klijenta, moto je kojeg se pridržava ova 

ugledna tvrtka. Najvažnije od svega, ona u tome i uspijeva. 

Dom iz snova 

Dom uređen za obitelj iz Nothing Hilla spoj je modernog 

dizajna i arhitekture tipične za zlatno doba kraljice Viktorije. 

Izvana, prenosi poruku tradicije i autohtonosti, a 

kada zavirimo u njegov interijer, odiše suvremenošću i 

minimalizmom, stilom sve popularnijim u današnje doba. 

Iako nas od njega dijeli nekoliko sati vožnje, vremenska 

zona i više od 1500 kilometara, po svojim karakteristikama 

moderan londonski dom s poznatog Nothing brda, 

umnogome je sličan domovima koje susrećemo u Hrvatskoj. 

U isto vrijeme, spoj je dvaju različitih stilova u kojima 

se mnogi pronalaze – tradicija i modernost u jednom.

Dream home 


A Modern Oasis from Notting Hill 

Do you remember the house where Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant fell in love in the movie “Notting 

Hill” This Notting Hill oasis we’re presenting is a wonderful Victorian house that has great 

resemblance to the house from the famous love story. People that live here perceive it as a true 

fortress of safety and love with plenty of modern style 

The first demand that was given to designer-architectonic 

studio Found Associates by the owner of the 

Notting Hill house was to create an open designer 

facility with plenty of intimate spaces. World-famous designers 

and architects went ahead with the designing 

process, and what they came up with was a very special 

London home. The house looks like a typical residential 

object in the centre of London – a white house, numerous 

windows, two floors and the third one with an open terrace. 

Another typical thing about this English house is that 

it is a part of a string of similarly looking houses, which are 

connected with the side sections of their walls. The front 

entrance is reserved for just one tenant, and it is often 

divided from the other houses in this string by a small wall 

with some flowers. 

The entire apartment was divided into smaller sections, 

which resulted in a higher level of spaciousness and intimacy. 

The sliding wooden doors, positioned between 

the ground floor and the basement, establish a powerful 

vertical connection between the two levels. The blackoak 

plank flooring to the ground floor and the basement 

perfectly matches the dark-stained external decking to 

the ground-floor terrace and the basement garden. A 

stone-paved bathroom is connected to the changing 

room on the first floor by a staircase, which is also paved 

in stone. The central bathroom block organizes the second 

floor into a study and a guestroom, with a timber library 

wall along the full length of the left-hand party wall 

connecting the two spaces, while the concealed sliding 

door gives the option to separate the spaces. The master 

suite consists of the bedroom, changing room and 

en-suite. All the partition walls on the third floor were removed, 

which created a large open children bedroom 

under the pitched roof. A central mezzanine level for storage 

and play divides the space into a boy area and a 

girl area, with an open bathroom area underneath. The 

house was also introduced to some intelligent solutions 

characteristic of the 21st century. For example, all rooms 

have floor heating, which makes the process of keeping 

the entire apartment warm a lot easier. 

The carefully planned lighting arrangement provides 

plenty of light for the entire interior. The monumental stairway 

chandelier consists of many small lamps and serves 

a decorative purpose as well. The apartment features 

several geisha photos and a Buddha sculpture, which 

provides a certain touch of exotics. The interior itself was 

designed in minimalist manner, which perfectly agrees 

with the modern architecture and room arrangement in

this apartment. The complex decoration of this apartment is 

most evident in the facility walls, which perfectly complete 

the open spaces and a little gallery at the top of the staircase, 

which connects several rooms. The apartment interior 

is dominated by a black-white combination that leaves 

the impression of class and sophistication. 

A Studio that Understands Their Clients 

Found Associates is a designer-architectonic studio that 

was started by Richard Found about ten years ago. Found 

is a man with a reputation for truly understanding how to 

produce recognizable exteriors and interiors for some of 

the world’s top brands. Over the last ten years, Found Associates’ 

award-winning team of architects and designers 

have consistently added value and beauty to retail environments. 

Their concepts are created swiftly and according 

to wishes of luxurious portfolios, such as Virgin Atlantic, 

Bulthaup, Selfridges, M&C Saatchi, Harvey Nichols and 

Harrods. Their ability to project innovations in the shortest 

of deadlines, combined with their cost-effectiveness, has 

also attracted attention of high-street multiples including 

Hobbs, Carphone Warehouse, Clarks, Jigsaw and Kurt 

Gajgerov. After working on those projects, the studio was 

soon presented with the opportunity to cross international 

borders. Nowadays, after ten years of providing services, 

Found Associates celebrates their tenth anniversary as well 

as the value of their projects. Anya Hindmarch, designer 

of luxurious handbags and shoes, is their most recent client. 

After developing a global concept for stores in Beijing, 

Moscow, Tokyo and Kuwait, the September fashion week 

revealed a brand new retail concept for Hindmarch’s 

Bond Street flagship. With a sexy black-glass mirrored front 

and a modern-nostalgia interior, Found has created a 

space that is completely in tune with the Hindmarch image. 

“A backdrop that makes the bags and shoes look 

hot is a very important expression of our brand values”, 

says Anya Hindmarch. “Found were great because they 

designed a backdrop that complements the products. 

They understood the brief perfectly and were incredibly 

efficient and on-the-ball. And most importantly, they understood 

the very essence of our project!” Studio Found 

Associates is proud of providing a flexible and universal 

design of services that offer the possibility of presenting 

their clients with the final project from the very concept of 

the design. If you want to make it to the top, the first step 

is to truly understand the goals of every single client, and 

this prestigious company swears by that motto. And most 

importantly, they are very successful. 

A Dream Home 

A home that was decorated for the Notting Hill family is a 

combination of a modern design and architecture that 

was typical for Queen Victoria’s golden period. From the 

outside, it appears to spread the message of tradition and 

independence, but when we throw our attention to the interior, 

it reveals contemporary minimalism, which is becoming 

more and more popular these days. Although we are 

several hours of driving away from it, as well as one time 

zone and over 1500 kilometres, a modern London home 

from Notting Hill has very similar characteristics to the homes 

we encounter in Croatia. At the same time, it represents a 

combination of two different styles that many can identify 

with – traditional and modern wrapped into one.

Kućni ured može se u potpunosti prilagoditi ostatku 

prostora / Home office can be completely adjusted to 

the rest of the apartment 

Danas je vrlo teško naći moderne ljude koji svoj 

posao nakon završetka radnog vremena ne 

nose kući, bili to pravnici, arhitekti, agenti ili, 

pak, književnici... Upravo zbog samih metoda 

rada, fleksibilnog radnog vremena, pa i razvoja tehnologije, 

sve je više onih koji su jednostavno prisiljeni 

barem dio svoga posla obavljati u vlastitu domu. Rad 

kod kuće, dakako, ima neke loše strane – oduzima 

dragocjeno vrijeme i trenutke 

koje bi mnogi radije proveli 

s najdražima ili, pak, 

opuštajući se uz omiljeni 

hobi, no činjenica je i da 

rad kod kuće može biti 

itekako koristan, produktivan 

i ugodan. Dom 

je mjesto u kojemu 

se svi osjećaju najugodnije 

i najsigurnije, 

pa shodno tome dom 

postaje i mjesto inspiracije, 

mjesto gdje se 

često rađaju vrijedne 

ideje i optimalna rješenja, a ako je kućni ured lijepo i 

pomno organiziran, obveze vezane uz posao će se 

obavljati bolje, brže i kvalitetnije. Ono najbolje je to što 

u svom prostoru svaka osoba može obveze prilagoditi 

svojim navikama, obiteljskim obvezama, što daje veću 

slobodu, pa i prilagodljivost. Kreiranje kućnog ureda ne 

iziskuje neki veći trošak, sve može biti gotovo za dan ili 

dva, a može biti itekako zabavno. 

Prvi korak – odabrati pravo mjesto 

Bilo da se radi o samačkoj garsonijeri ili pak prostranom 

stanu u kojem živi peteročlana obitelj, svaki kućni ured 

bi trebao biti postavljen na pravo mjesto. Pravila koja se 

tiču rasvjete ili pak vještine feng shui mogu biti od pomoći, 

no najvažnije od svega su vlastite navike i navike 

ukućana koji dijele stambeni prostor. Netko nadahnuće 

pronalazi u tamnijim, tišim dijelovima stana, netko se 

najugodnije osjeća u uređenom podrumu, dok netko 

ne može zamisliti rad u prostoriji koja nije bogata prirodnim 

svjetlom. Neki bolje rade kada su okruženi društvom, 

dok su neki najproduktivniji kada su osamljeni. Dakle, 

jedino pravilo kojega se treba pridržavati jest ono da 

treba odabrati mjesto koje pojedincu najviše odgova- 

83

Kućni ured treba biti praktičan, funkcionalan i uvijek 

uredan / Home office should be practical, functional 

and always tidy 

ra. Dakako, ako stambeni prostor dijeli više osoba, valja 

imati obzira i prema ostalim ukućanima kako im mali 

kućni ured ne bi smetao. Kućni ured bez telefona i brze 

internetske veze je mnogima nezamisliv, no kabelima se 

ne treba previše opterećivati – uređaji za bežični internet 

su vrlo povoljni i na jednostavan način će omogućiti 

korištenje telefona i interneta u svakom dijelu stana 

ili kuće. Problem nedostatka utičnica se također može 

brzo i bezbolno riješiti korištenjem tzv. kanalice kojom se 

nove utičnice postavljaju na željena mjesta. 

84 

Stolica mora biti anatomska i kvalitetna / 

Chair has to be anatomic and quality 

Opremanje ureda 

Kada je mjesto odabrano, pozornost treba obratiti na 

elemente koji će tvoriti mali ured. Mjesto na kojemu 

je ured pozicioniran je vrlo važno, no jednako je važno 

da kućni ured bude praktičan, funkcionalan i uvijek 

uredan. To znači da treba odabrati onaj uredski stol na 

kojemu će svaka sitnica biti lako i brzo dostupna. Stol 

mora biti kompaktan, no ipak dovoljno velik kako bi se 

bez problema mogli pohraniti razni dokumenti, poslovne 

knjige i slično. Naravno, ako to prostor dopušta, za 

spremanje raznih spisa idealno rješenje bit će namjenski 

ormari s debelim konzolama u koje se dokumentacija 

može posložiti po odgovarajućem redoslijedu. Osjećaj 

neudobnosti može dovesti do velikih problema, pa pažnju 

treba obratiti i na stolicu. Ona mora biti anatomska 

i kvalitetna jer nekada će za obavljanje poslovnih obveza 

biti dovoljno i pola sata, no nekad će trebati “potegnuti” 

i više od osam sati pa valja imati na umu da je 

stolica zadnja stvar na kojoj treba štedjeti. Kako znati 

koja je stolica prava Sve iole kvalitetne stolice imaju 

naslon koji je zakrivljen prema unutra kako bi podupirao 

kralježnicu, a pomiče se kod naginjanja. Također, 

naslon bi trebao biti dovoljno širok s isto tako udobnim 

naslonima za ruke i glavu. 

Kućni ured u svakom stilu 

Dakako da kućni ured ne mora biti jednoličan i običan. 

Dapače, on se u potpunosti može prilagoditi ostatku 

prostora. Za manje stanove, odlično će rješenje biti 

praktični pomični stol koji se s lakoćom može premjestiti 

s jednog kraja sobe na drugi. Za one koji vole klasiku i 

pomalo antikni ugođaj, svakako će dobar izbor biti cjelovite 

garniture od masivnog drva u koje se kućni ured 

u potpunosti može sakriti kada se ne koristi. Prostraniji 

stambeni prostori omogućavaju i prostranije kućne 

urede, pa ako ne manjka prostora, svakako je bolje 

odabrati veće stolove s dodacima koji će pružiti i bolju 

organizaciju. Stolice mogu biti kožne, klasičnog i ozbiljnijeg 

stila, no mogu biti i potpuno drukčije, obojane živim 

bojama ili obogaćene nekim vedrim uzorcima. Za ljubitelje 

pravog opuštenog stila, anatomsku stolicu mogu 

zamijeniti i “lopte“ koje, osim što izgledaju zgodno i dekorativno, 

osiguravaju pravilan položaj kralježnice. Koji 

god stil dominirao, ipak se treba pridržavati jedne bitne 

stvari – kabeli i žice se ne uklapaju ni u jedan stil pa ih 

valja lijepo i uredno rasporediti i sakriti adekvatnim “pomagalima”. 

Na poslu se mnogi ne osjećaju najugodnije, 

a izbora često nema. Uz malo truda, kućni ured 

može biti nešto posve drugo – radna okolina u kojoj se 

osjećamo ugodno, a posao obavljamo s puno elana i 

pozitivne energije.

Home as the Perfect 

Work Environment

If your home office is nicely and carefully 

organized, you will find yourself performing 

your work obligations with much 

more quickness and quality. When 

working in our own home, we can 

all make a few adjustments that 

agree with our own habits, which 

results in much more freedom and 

adjustability. Creating a home office 

doesn’t have to be expensive, 

as you can have a lot of fun and still 

get it done in just a day or two 

85

Radni kutak / Working corner 

These days, it is very difficult to find modern people 

who don’t take their work with them when they 

go home, regardless of whether they’re lawyers, 

architects, agents or writers... Those work methods, 

flexible working hours and the development of 

technology are the main reasons why so many people 

are simply forced to do a portion of their job in 

their own home. Working at your home, naturally, has 

a downside as well – it takes away precious time and 

moments we would like to spend with our loved ones 

or relaxing with our favourite hobby, but the fact remains 

that working at home can be extremely useful, 

productive and pleasant. Everybody feels a lot of 

comfort and security in their home, which means that 

it often becomes a place of inspiration where valuable 

ideas and optimal solutions quickly come to mind, and 

if your home office is nicely and carefully organized, 

you will find yourself performing your work obligations 

with much more accuracy, quickness and quality. The 

best thing about working at home is that you can arrange 

your obligations according to your habits and 

family commitments, which results in much more freedom 

and adjustability. Creating a home office doesn’t 

have to be expensive, as you can have a lot of fun and 

still get it done in just a day or two. 

First Step – Choosing the Right Place 

Regardless of whether we’re talking about a bachelor 

pad or a spacious apartment with a family of five, 

every home office needs to be positioned in just the 

right place. You can use some rules regarding lighting 

issues and feng shui techniques for help, but pay the 

most attention to your habits and the habits of people 

living there with you. Someone finds inspiration in darker 

and quieter sections of the apartment, someone 

else loves nothing more than a furnished basement, 

while somebody can’t imagine working in a room that 

doesn’t feature an abundance of natural light. Some 

people get more work done when they’re around 

people, while others are more productive in a lonelier 

environment. Therefore, the only rule is to choose the 

place that the person in question is most comfortable 

with. Naturally, if there are more people living in the 

apartment, you must also make sure that your home 

office doesn’t get into anybody’s way. A home office 

without a telephone and fast Internet access doesn’t 

make much sense, but don’t get too caught up in cables 

– wireless Internet devices are very accessible and 

can effortlessly provide you with telephone and Internet 

connections in any part of the house or apartment. 

If you don’t have enough outlets, you can easily fix that 

by using the so-called hollow tile, which positions outlets 

anywhere you want. 

86 

Furnishing the Office 

When the place is chosen, you should start paying attention 

to the elements that your little office consists 

of. The location of the office is very important, but it 

is equally important to make sure that your home office 

is practical, functional and always tidy. That means 

that you should choose the type of an office desk that 

provides fast and easy access to every little thing. A

Interiors 

Kožni registratori za dokumente / Leather magazine file 

Drvene kutije za sitnice / Wooden boxes for writing materials 

desk must be compact, but still large enough to effortlessly 

host various documents, business books and 

similar things. Naturally, if the space allows you to do 

so, your ideal solution for storing various files can be a 

specifically purposed closet with thick brackets, which 

you can use to fold your documents in appropriate order. 

The feeling of discomfort can lead to a lot of problems, 

so make sure you choose the right chair. It has to 

be anatomic and quality, because even though you 

will sometimes need only 30 minutes of work, at other 

times that will turn into eight full hours of work, so keep 

in mind that a chair is the last thing to save money on. 

How do you recognize the right chair Every chair with 

enough quality features back support that is bended 

inwards so that it supports the spine, and it also moves 

when you start to lean. The back support should also 

be wide enough with just as comfortable support for 

your arms and head. 

Home Offices in Different Styles 

It goes without saying that a home office doesn’t have 

to be plain and ordinary. In fact, it can be completely 

adjusted to the rest of the apartment. If your apartment 

isn’t very big, you will make the right decision by 

choosing a practical mobile desk that can easily be 

transferred from one end of the room to another. For 

those that love classics and slightly antique environments, 

we suggest entire ensembles made of massive 

wood that can entirely hide the home office when it 

isn’t used. Larger residential spaces also enable larger 

home offices, so that’s when you can choose bigger 

desks with plenty of accessories that will provide a 

better sense of organization. You can choose leather 

chairs with a classic and more serious style, but you can 

also go in an entirely different direction by choosing 

chairs with bright colours and wacky samples. For all 

lovers of true laid-back style, anatomic chairs can be 

replaced by “balls” that, besides having an attractive 

and decorative look, also keep your spine in the right 

position. Whichever style is dominant, keep one thing in 

mind – cables and wires don’t look good in any style, so 

make sure you do a good job of neatly arranging and 

hiding them with different accessories. Work makes a 

lot of people feel a little down, and our options are often 

limited. But with a little effort, a home office can 

represent something entirely different – a work environment 

that makes us feel good as we do our job with 

plenty of enthusiasm and positive energy.

O 

velikoj i prostranoj kuhinji, svi sanjaju, o tome 

da imaju dovoljno mjesta za luksuzne elemente 

i uređaje, ručno rađenu kuhinju po 

narudžbi ili pak zidane elemente, dovoljno 

prostora da se ukućani, pa i gosti, osjećaju udobno. No, 

koliko god bila poželjna i atraktivna, velika kuhinja zahtijeva 

mnogo pažnje pri uređivanju i opremanju upravo 

zbog svoje prostranosti, kako ne bi izgledala hladno i 

prazno. Bez obzira na dostatnu količinu prostora, čak i 

najveća kuhinja mora biti funkcionalna i praktična, pa 

i ugodna i topla. Uz nekoliko pravih poteza, udobnost i 

ugoda mogu se spojiti u jednu savršenu cjelinu... 

Mjesta za sve 

Sa skučenim kuhinjama je doista teško, premda i one 

88

znaju izgledati lijepo. No, kako bi izgledala hrpa električnih 

uređaja i kolekcija posuđa u kuhinji od pet četvornih 

metara S velikim kuhinjama je posve drukčije, 

pa se one od prostorije kojoj je osnovna namjena da 

se u njoj skuha i podijeli jelo, pretvara u posve drukčiji i 

bogatiji prostor koji može postati jednako atraktivan kao 

i dnevna soba. Koje su prednosti velikih kuhinja Ponajprije, 

velika prednost jest sam kuhinjski namještaj – izbor 

je velik, kuhinje po narudžbi se mogu izraditi kako bi na 

najljepši način ispunile prostor, a ne treba poricati i kako 

su sve luksuzne kuhinje ujedno i velike kuhinje. Dakle, na 

izboru su najrazličitiji modeli, od kuhinja s nešto oštrijim i 

hladnijim dizajnom pa do onih koje više odgovaraju nekakvom 

tradicionalnom ili klasičnom stilu. Za primjer, kod 

primorskih kamenih kuća moguće je pozvati stručnjaka

koji će po vlastitim idejama izraditi zidanu kuhinju koja 

će ujediniti plemenite prirodne materijale na posebno 

atraktivan način. Sljedeća prednost velikog kuhinjskog 

prostora jest sam razmještaj elemenata, pri čemu nema 

granica, a sve se može prilagoditi osobnim željama. No, 

pravilo je da veliki prostori zahtijevaju i masivniji namještaj, 

tako kod opremanja velike kuhinje ne treba birati 

neku skromnu, manju garnituru. Naprotiv, veličinu prostora 

dodatno će naglasiti garnitura s velikim i prostranim 

stolom te odgovarajućim kuhinjskim stolicama. Život je 

bez elektronike danas nezamisliv, a u velikoj kuhinji svoje 

mjesto mogu pronaći svi uređaji i sva potrebna pomagala, 

od perilice do tostera, električnog roštilja, miksera, 

sokovnika, aparata za kavu itd. Važno je da ti uređaji 

budu pravilno razmješteni, postavljeni tako da uvijek 

budu nadohvat ruke, ali da kod uobičajenih kuhinjskih 

aktivnosti ipak ne smetaju. Za nekoliko zidnih polica će 

se uvijek pronaći mjesta, a ponekad takve police nude 

idealno rješenje. 

Dodaci koji veliki prostor čine ugodnim 

Kad je opremanje i uređivanje interijera u pitanju, svaki 

stručnjak složit će se s tvrdnjom da je on puno atraktivniji 

ako “priča priču“. Karakter svake pojedine prostorije čini 

cjelinu posebnom, onu cjelinu koju nazivamo domom. 

Kuhinja je što se toga tiče jedinstvena prostorija jer ima 

onu čarobnu moć da spaja i ujedinjuje obitelj i prijatelje. 

Ipak, velika i prazna kuhinja će na malo koga ostaviti 

pozitivan dojam. Sitnice uvijek čine čuda pa to vrijedi i 

kod velikih kuhinja koje nam pružaju još jednu prednost, 

a ta je da im možemo dati upravo taj karakter koji mnogo 

znači. U velikoj kuhinji mjesta mogu pronaći razni suveniri, 

neke zgodne kolekcije koje se lijepo uklapaju u 

stil kuhinje, biljke, pa čak i umjetnine koje će taj prostor 

učiniti toplijim i ugodnijim. Naravno, kod uređivanja velikih 

kuhinja ne treba zaboraviti na boje jer one imaju vrlo 

veliku ulogu u cjelokupnom ambijentu. Za velike kuhinje 

su prikladniji mekaniji tonovi i toplije boje, no dobro je i 

poigrati se s kontrastom kako bi se unijela poželjna doza 

dinamike u veliki prostor. Jasno, boje zidova se moraju 

lijepo nadovezati s kuhinjskim namještajem, a valja imati 

na umu i da ih podloga na kojoj će biti postavljen treba 

isticati, a ne gasiti. I, za kraj, ne zaboravite da velika 

kuhinja vrijedi jako puno pa joj kod uređivanja posvetite 

svu pažnju. Poigrajte se s maštom, pritom pazeći na 

pravila ergonomije, i osigurajte sebi, svojim ukućanima i 

prijateljima kuhinju u kojoj će dominirati topao i skladan 

ambijent.

as it may be, a large kitchen demands a lot of attention 

while decorating and furnishing it precisely because 

of its spaciousness, so that it wouldn’t look cold and empty. 

Regardless of the adequate amount of space, even 

the biggest kitchen has to be functional and practical, 

even pleasant and warm. With several right moves, comfort 

and pleasure can combine to create a perfect unit. 

Enough Room for Everything 

It’s really hard dealing with narrow kitchens, although 

they can be made to look lovely as well. However, how is 

a pile of electrical devices and dish collections supposed 

to look in a five-square-metre kitchen Large kitchens 

make things totally different, as they transform a room 

that has a main function of cooking and serving the meal 

into a completely different and wealthier space that can 

become just as attractive as the living room. What are the 

advantages of large kitchens First of all, kitchen furniture 

itself is a big advantage – the choice is enormous, custom-made 

kitchens can fill up the space in finest manner 

imaginable, and it’s not worth denying that all luxurious 

kitchens happen to be somewhat larger. Therefore, you 

can choose between models with vastly different characteristics, 

from kitchens with slightly sharper and colder

design to those that more resemble a traditional and 

classic style. For example, owners of coastal stone houses 

can call up an expert who will make a built-in kitchen according 

to his own ideas and make sure it unifies refined 

natural materials in a particularly attractive way. Large 

kitchen spaces also have the advantage of arranging 

the elements in a way that has no boundaries, with everything 

being adjusted to personal preferences. However, 

the basic rule is that larger spaces demand more 

massive furniture, so you shouldn’t furnish a large kitchen 

with a humble, smaller ensemble. On the contrary, size of 

the space will be further emphasized with an ensemble 

that features a big and spacious table and the appropriate 

kitchen chairs. Life without electronics is unimaginable 

nowadays, and a larger kitchen can feature all the 

devices and necessary appliances, from a dish washer to 

the toaster, electrical grill, blender, juice squeezer, coffee 

machine etc. It is important to appropriately rearrange 

all these appliances, as they’re supposed to be available 

within arm’s reach, but without standing in the way during 

the normal kitchen activities. Several wall shelves can 

always be used, as they sometimes present the ideal solution. 

Accessories to Make the Large Space more Comfortable 

When we get to the subject of furnishing and decorating 

an interior, every expert will agree that it becomes 

a lot more attractive if the interior in question is “telling a 

story”. The character of every individual room makes 

the unit special, and that unit is what we call a home. 

In that sense, a kitchen can be somewhat unique because 

it has the magic power to connect and unite 

family and friends. However, a big and empty kitchen 

will not really impress anybody. It’s the little things that 

always create miracles, so the same thing applies with 

large kitchens that provide an additional advantage, 

which is the possibility of having that all-important character. 

A large kitchen can feature all kinds of souvenirs, 

some cute collections that fit into the style of the kitchen, 

some plants, even pieces of art that might make 

the room warmer and cosier. Of course, the process of 

decorating a large kitchen also involves colour choices 

because that plays a big role in the entire ambience. 

Large kitchens tend to adapt better to softer tones and 

warmer colours, but we also recommend a little contrast 

that might introduce a sense of dynamics in the 

large space. It goes without saying that wall colours 

must agree with the kitchen furniture, and also keep in 

mind that the surface should have the function of emphasizing 

it, rather than diminishing its importance. And 

finally, remember that a large kitchen has great value, 

so give it a lot of attention during the decorating process. 

Play around with your imagination, while keeping in 

mind the rules of ergonomics, and reward yourself, your 

family and friends with a kitchen that is dominated by a 

warm and harmonious environment.

Savjeti

Milijun je razloga zašto biste svoj balkon ponovno 

vratili u život. Izležavanje i pijuckanje 

rashlađenih sokova u udobnoj fotelji tijekom 

poslijepodneva, uz predivno cvijeće i maštovite 

ukrase, samo su neki od njih. Nisu bez razloga Englezi 

smislili izreku da dobro uređen balkon zamjenjuje jednu 

sobu stana, a dobro uređena terasa cijeli kat. Uz detalje 

koji će vam biti ugodni oku i malo mašte, balkon može 

postati vaša mala Azurna obala ili, primjerice, mini povrtnjak, 

egzotična prašuma ili elegantan prostor za odmor. 

Prije uređenja razmislite o tome što vas opušta, veseli i 

što vam nedostaje u stanu. Balkoni i terase mogu biti 

idealno mjesto za viseću mrežu koju ste oduvijek željeli, 

dvosjed ljuljačku za popodnevno drijemanje, pješčanik 

za najmlađe ili oaza biljnog svijeta. 

Stvorite svoj mirni kutak 

Što vam zapravo treba na vašem balkonu Prvo, udoban 

stolac i malo hlada. U potragu za stolcem prosurfajte 

internetom, pronađite fotografije vizualno najatraktivnijih, 

a zatim posjetite nekoliko trgovačkih centara. 

Namjeravate li u svom stolcu sjediti dugo godina, dobro 

ga isprobajte. Hlad ćete osigurati tako što ćete napraviti 

paravan od biljki penjačica s potporom od žica ili letvica. 

Time ćete dobiti i na privatnosti. Penjačice, primjerice 

razne vrste bršljana, ukrasnih loza ili biljku slak, posadite 

u žardinjere ovješene o balkonsku ogradu, a njihove 

izdanke labavo pričvrstite duž potporne konstrukcije. 

Tako ćete rast biljaka usmjeriti u željenom smjeru. Kao 

paravan mogu poslužiti i razni rolo zastori koji se lako postavljaju 

i skidaju te su dostupni u najrazličitijim dezenima. 

Pristupačnih su cijena, jednostavni za postavljanje i njima 

možete brzo promijeniti atmosferu svog balkona: od 

elegancije do otkačenosti. Svoje stolce, fotelje ili klupice 

možete upotpuniti jastucima svih oblika, boja i dizajna, 

kao i različitim prostirkama. Sanjari li vaše dijete o igranju 

u travi, stvorite na svom balkonu ili terasi mali park! Sve 

što vam treba jest nekoliko metara umjetne trave ili tepi-

Dobre ideje 

Često nam u prostoru u kojem živimo nedostaje mjesta 

za sve one neugledne, a potrebne sitnice kao što su metle, 

sredstva za čišćenje, krpe i predmeti koje nosimo na 

more, pecanje, planinarenje… Kako nam one ne bi zauzimale 

vrijedan prostor, dobra je ideja nabaviti sanduk. 

I to poveći. Potražite ga na tavanu, buvljaku ili u šopingcentru 

i uredite ga tako da vam služi za sjedenje. Pokrijte 

ga zgodnom presvlakom, nabacite jastuke, i voilà… 

spojili ste korisno s ugodnim! Maštate li o egzotičnim 

krajevima, uredite svoj balkon u stilu atraktivne, daleke 

lokacije. Čempres visine oko 150 centimetara koji ćete 

posaditi u veću posudu, grm lavande, teglice sa začinskim 

biljem ili bosiljak posađen u viseće posude stvorit 

će šarm egzotike. Dodajte viseću ležaljku, uzmite knjigu, 

zavalite se i uživajte. A bolja polovica neka vam donese 

koktel koji će vas savršeno rashladiti. Bršljan je, primjerice, 

biljka koja će pridonijeti divljem “looku” vašeg balkona 

i stvoriti neuobičajen interijer. Ako je posađen u 

dovoljno veliku posudu i ima dovoljno vode, preživljava 

gotovo sve vremenske uvjete i tipove vlasnika. Bilo da 

visi iz posude ili se penje uz ogradu, balkonu daje raščupan 

i pomalo divlji izgled. Kombinirate li uz takvu divljinu 

ivančice i kućicu za ptičice, vaš će balkon postati pravi 

mali šumski proplanak. Za sve romantičare, savjetujemo 

nabavu ruža i željezne nosiljke, koje će približiti atmosferu 

engleskog perivoja. Volite li ipak više povrće i dosta 

96 

vam je odlaska na plac svakog jutra, razmislite o sadnji 

povrća u teglicama. Odlično ako vas privlači zalijevanje 

i konstantna briga za plodove koje ćete poslije moći 

pojesti. 

Probudite kreativca u sebi 

Probudite kreativca u sebi, počnite planirati, ispisivati i 

iscrtavati temelje vašeg balkona ili terase. Pronađite dijete 

u sebi i potrudite se da vaš životni prostor zasja. Uz to 

što ćete u njemu uživati svakog dana, sigurni smo da će 

vam pozavidjeti većina prijatelja i poznanika. A možda 

i zgodan susjed kojeg već dugo motrite svrati na kratko 

opuštanje. Ako je vaš balkon malih dimenzija, razmislite 

o sklopivom namještaju. Time ćete ostvariti niz prednosti. 

Namještaj ćete moći sklopiti i preseliti kad god to poželite, 

a moći ćete ga koristiti i u stanu. Dobar izbor za uređenje 

balkona su i male, svjetski poznate biljčice – bonsaiji. 

Drvca u malome savršena su za balkone i terase 

upravo zbog svojih mini dimenzija. Slične bonsaijima, po 

svojoj veličini su i neke vrste bambusa te stabalca čili 

papričice ili mini naranče. Na kraju, ne zaboravite na 

rasvjetu. Dobro raspoređena rasvjeta s upečatljivim oblikom 

svjetiljki učinit će vaš balkon ili terasu još atraktivnijim. 

Isti učinak mogu imati i svjećice, kojih danas možete 

pronaći u gotovo svim oblicima, veličinama i mirisima 

kojih se sjetite. Balkon i terasa su kvadrati koje trebate 

urediti tako da vam tu bude ugodno. Uživajte sami i uz 

društvo ljudi koje volite i opustite se od lude svakodnevice. 

Nisu vam potrebni skupi wellness tretmani da biste se 

opustili. Kao moderni i pametni ljudi, besplatan tretman 

opuštanja stvorite u kvadratima koje već posjedujete.

Decorating Those Precious Square Metres 

Balconies and Terraces - 

Ideal Places for Rest and 

Relaxation from Stress 

If you are a proud owner of an apartment with a balcony or terrace, you should consider yourself 

a very lucky person. Every day you can spend hours enjoying the sun, the breeze, or checking 

out your good-looking neighbour. If you decorate your balcony or terrace and adjust it to your 

personal preferences, you will find yourself spending more and more time within those several 

square metres of “air”, which are so ideal for rest and relaxation from everyday stress

Probudite kreativca u sebi / 

Rediscover your creativity 

There are a million reasons for you to bring back some 

life into your balcony. Some of them include the 

idea of laying around and sipping your cold soda 

in a comfortable armchair during the afternoon, 

with wonderful flowers and imaginative decorations everywhere 

around you. There is a reason English people 

say that a well-decorated balcony has as much value 

as an entire room in an apartment, while a well-decorated 

terrace can replace an entire floor. With several 

eye-pleasing details and a little imagination, the balcony 

can become your own little French Riviera, or maybe a 

small vegetable garden, exotic rainforest or an elegant 

relaxation space. Before you start decorating, make sure 

you think about the things that relax you, make you feel 

better and are currently missing in your apartment. Balconies 

and terraces can be ideal places for a hammock 

you always wanted, as well as for a two-seat swing for 

your afternoon nap, a sandbox for children or a botanical 

oasis. 

Creating Your Quiet Space 

What exactly do you need on your balcony First of all, 

you need a comfortable chair and some shade. As far as 

chairs go, you should surf the Internet and try to find photos 

of visually most attractive ones, and them see if you 

can find them at several shopping centres. If you’re planning 

on sitting in that chair for many years to come, make 

sure you test its comfort level very thoroughly. Shade can 

be ensured by using climbing plants supported with wire 

or little boards, and they will also ensure you a great deal 

of privacy. The best types of climbing plants are different 

types of ivy, decorative grapevine leaves or bindweed, 

and make sure you plant them in flowerpots that hang 

from the balcony fence, while their outgrowths can be 

loosely attached along the support construction. In that 

way, you can determine the direction in which the plants 

will grow. As far as cover goes, you can use various shutters 

that are easily assembled and disassembled, and are 

accessible in all kinds of designs. Their prices are not very 

high, they can easily be put together, and they can really 

change the atmosphere on your balcony: from elegance 

to wackiness. Your chairs, armchairs and little benches 

can be completed with cushions of all shapes, colours 

and designs, as well as with various other types of covers. 

If your child is dreaming about playing in the grass, you 

may as well create your own little park at your balcony or 

terrace. All you need is several metres of artificial grass, or 

a rug from artificial or natural materials like sisal. If you’re 

a fan of wood, go ahead and pick small wooden boards 

for your balcony or terrace. It will feel exactly like being 

on a boat. 

Good Ideas 

Our living spaces are often deprived of extra-space for 

all those plain-looking, but very necessary little things like 

brooms, cleansers, mops and objects for the beach, fishing 

or hiking... In order to make sure that they don’t take 

up any of that valuable space, it would be a good idea 

to acquire a larger trunk. Look for it in the attic, at the 

flea market or in shopping centres, and position it in a 

way that it can also serve as a place to sit on. Cover it up 

with something attractive, throw some cushions on and

For whose who like oriental style 

Ormarić koji se uklopio u vanjski prostor / 

Storage unit that fits in outdoor 

voila – you have done something that is both pleasant 

and useful! If you fantasize about exotic areas, decorate 

your balcony in a way that resembles an attractive 

faraway location. A 150-centimetre cypress in a bigger 

pot, a lavender bush, little jars with spice plants or some 

basil planted in hanging pots are bound to create that 

exotic charm. Throw in a hanging deckchair, get yourself 

a book, get comfortable and enjoy yourself. Have 

your better half bring you a nice cocktail that will cool 

you down just the way you like it. For example, ivy is a 

plant that will contribute to your balcony’s wild look and 

create an extraordinary interior. If it is planted in a large 

enough pot and has enough water, it can survive almost 

all types of weather conditions and all types of owners. 

Regardless of whether it sticks out from a pot or climbs 

along the fence, it will provide the balcony with a scruffy 

and slightly wild appearance. If you combine that wild 

dimension with some daisies and a birdhouse, your balcony 

is bound to become a true little oasis filled with 

greenery. For all you romantics, we advise you to acquire 

some roses and iron sedan chairs, which will replicate the 

atmosphere of traditional English parks. If you happen to 

prefer some vegetables and you’re sick of going to the 

market every day, think about growing some vegetables 

in little jars. It is an excellent choice if you’re attracted to 

watering things and constantly looking after those fruits 

that will end up in your plate. 

Rediscover Your Creativity 

Rediscover your creativity, start planning, taking notes 

and making sketches of your balcony or terrace. Reconnect 

with your inner child and make sure your living space 

shines in a brand new light. Besides the fact that you can 

enjoy it every day, we are positive that you will be envied 

by most of your friends and acquaintances. And who 

knows, maybe that good-looking neighbour you’ve had 

your eye on will finally stop by for some relaxation. If your 

balcony isn’t very spacious, you might want to consider 

using folding furniture. That will work to your advantage in 

numerous ways, as you will be able to fold your furniture 

away and move it whenever you want, and you can also 

use it inside the apartment. As far as balcony decorations 

go, another good choice is presented in the form of small 

world-famous plants – bonsai. These tiny trees are perfect 

for balconies and terraces precisely for their miniature dimensions. 

Some types of bamboo, as well as chilli-pepper 

trees and mini-oranges, are similar to bonsai when 

it comes to dimensions. And finally, don’t forget about 

lighting. Well-arranged lighting objects with distinctive 

lamp figures will make your balcony or terrace even more 

attractive. Candles can have the same effect, and you 

can find them in all possible shapes, sizes and aromas. A 

balcony and a terrace are premises that you should decorate 

in a way that brings nothing but joy and comfort. 

Enjoy them by yourself and in the company of the people 

you love, and take a break from the crazy everyday 

routine. You don’t need expensive wellness treatments in 

order to relax. As modern and smart people that you are, 

you can create your own charge-free relaxation treatment 

within the square metres you already own.

čak i mijenjati nas same u određenoj mjeri, mijenjajući

urodila i specijaliziranim komercijalnim angažmanom. Riječ 

je o tome da se na internetu, tragajući za zanimljivim 

dizajnerskim predmetima, danas mogu pronaći tvrtke

fenomen, sad već izdvojen od ukupne oblikovne djelatnosti 

u zasebnu cjelinu, scenu, tržište, počeo je, dakle, 

djelovati kao prepoznatljiv subjekt. 

Asortiman Fred and Friendsa duhovitost generira na svim 

razinama i svim metodama – funkcionalnom inverzijom, 

vizualnom varkom, igrom riječi ili pak čistom iznenađujućom, 

smiješnom idejom i/ili izvedbom. Primjera je mno-

go, pa se tako u prvu skupinu mogu ubrojiti 

keramičko postolje za maslac u obliku 

tosta ili led za piće u formi zubne proteze 

(upotrijebljen u čaši vode, on djeluje posebno 

bizarno). Još jedan primjer je spužva za tuširanje 

u obliku mikrofona, koja na iskričav način ismijava 

raširenu navadu vokalnog muziciranja pri ovoj svakodnevnoj 

radnji. Ipak je vrhunac funkcionalne zamjene 

ženska cipela s visokom potpeticom, lišena, ne bez doze 

kriticizma naspram suvremene svakodnevice, bilo koje 

druge svrhe do one za pridržavanje sobnih vrata. 

Vizulna varka u šaljivom dizajnu na duhovit je način primijenjena

vrući rub lonca, još su neki od plodova plemenite namjere 

dizajnera da nam osmijehom i veselim, zdravim duhom 

u svakom trenutku obogate dan. 

Fredovi proizvodi nabavljaju se kod nekoliko internetskih

prodavača, ali tvrtka, nažalost, još nije sistematski proširila 

prodaju na teritorije izvan SAD-a. No zainteresirani se 

uvijek mogu potruditi oko nabave, pogotovo je poticajna 

činjenica da ni jedan njihov proizvod ne prelazi cijenu 

od 20 dolara. Općenito se dade zaključiti kako bi smjer 

kojim su se zaputili Fred i prijatelji trebao i vjerojatno će 

povući za sobom još specijaliziranih proizvođača s idejom 

psihološkog bodrenja konzumenta, budući da će vremena

Poštujte naše nosove / Respect our noses 

The need for the design that will, besides fulfilling its 

aesthetical function, also provoke, influence and 

practically change ourselves to a certain extent 

by changing our space and the time of our day, 

has already resulted in specialized commercial arrangements. 

If you search the Internet for interesting designer 

objects, you can find companies that are completely 

oriented to achieve something funny, humorous and intriguing. 

One of those companies, which always makes 

sure to connect the object’s utilization value to a funny 

message or an energetic gimmick, and sometimes 

even puts more emphasis on that aspect than on the 

object’s function, is an American company called Fred 

and Friends. “Funny design”, which is how we can name 

this phenomenon, has now been completely separated 

from the overall design scene into a special unit and 

market that works as a very recognizable 

subject. 

Fred and Friends’ assortment generates 

humour by using all methods 

on every level – functional inversion, 

visual deception, clever wordplay or a 

purely surprising and funny idea/ 

performance. There are 

numerous examples, 

and a typical 

one 

for the 

first group 

is a ceramic 

pedestal 

for butter 

shaped like a 

104 

toast, or ice cubes in the form of dental braces (which 

have a particularly bizarre effect when placed in a glass 

of water). Another example is a shower sponge shaped 

like a microphone, which playfully makes fun of our favourite 

habit during this everyday activity. However, the 

peak of functional substitution is a woman’s shoe with a 

high heel that is, not without criticism towards the modern 

way of life, deprived of any function besides holding 

the room doors open. 

Visual deception in funny design was amusingly used 

with a USB flash drive that featured faithfully simulated 

torn wiring on the other end, when it is a given that the 

product is completely new and technically correct. 

This collection also includes a top-notch prank with 

a (miniature) drowning man in a bathtub drain, while 

the bathroom accessories are boasted with a confusing 

anti-slipping surface that is shaped like a banana 

peel. Cassettetote, a purse shaped like a gigantic audiocassette, 

is already thought of as retro equipment for 

younger music fans. 

The wordplay scenario functions in a situation when the 

phrase “peace of cake” (which is an English expression 

for something very simple) receives its literal equivalent 

in a cake mould shaped like a hippy sign for peace. 

The golden egg becomes a factual bearer of material 

values in the form of a moneybox, while keys have received 

a particularly detailed treatment. “Monkey” appears 

as a key with a monkey head, which is what it literally 

means in the English language, “keyring” as a ring 

for attaching keys looks like a real (wedding) ring, while 

“earring” combines a bunch of meanings into a unique 

product – a key pendant shaped like an ear. 

As far as designer pranks that require no additional ex-

Utopljenik u kadi kao vrhunski geg / Bathtub 

drowning as a top sport 

Beerbelly – pivopije na svome / Beerbelly 

– jaunty beerguzzlers 

planations go, allow us to mention a sellotape 

stalk that is shaped like a funny exercise man 

that has the tape coming out of his mouth. Then 

there is also the excellent critique of a man’s 

beer belly that comes in the form of a belt for 

pants. Besides serving a purpose of preventing 

the piece of clothes from simply sliding down the 

beer drinker’s legs, it also features a bottle opener 

as a unique solution on its end. Glasses that tilt to 

provide an optical deception of a perfect nose 

shape for the user, or a pair of kitchen mittens that 

use a dog’s jaw to hold the hot end of the pot are just 

some other fruits of labour by designers that have the 

noble attention to fulfil our days with lots of smiles and a 

happy, healthy spirit. 

Fred’s products are accessible with several Internet retailers, 

but the company is yet to systematically expand 

their distribution outside of USA. However, anybody interested 

can always find a way to supply themselves 

with these products, especially as none of them crosses 

the 20-dollar limit. The general conclusion is that the direction 

that Fred and Friends have embarked on should 

result in several other specialized manufacturers 

with the idea of psychological encouragement 

for the consumers, particularly as the times to 

come will demand a well-designed and articulated 

approach to the production of happy 

spirits and sparkling ideas. Are we talking about the 

basis for a new industry of optimism that is penetrating 

into our everyday life If that is the case (and judging by 

the industry’s initial offer, it must be the case), supporting 

this industry will be in the best interest of every individual 

and each of the eroded communities we belong to.

Kultni komad 

Konstantin Grcic: Osorom, 2004. 

Neobièna kombinacija 

praznine i svjetla 

“Potraga za pravim materijalom i tehnologijom uglavnom 

određuje projekt od samoga početka, često određujući 

sam proces dizajniranja. U slučaju Osoroma, sjedećeg 

elementa od dva metra, za četiri do šest osoba, 

sve se dogodilo obrnuto. Komad je potpuno kompjutorski 

dizajniran, bez prethodnog razmatranja kako ili 

od kojeg materijala bi mogao biti napravljen. Nisam ga 

slučajno nazvao Osorom, naziv je to koji u sebi sadrži 

ime klijenta, tvrtke Moroso, izgovoreno unatrag” 

Konstantin Grcic

Nedavno je u jednoj novootvorenoj zagrebačkoj 

hi-tech prodavaonici osvanuo zanimljiv 

komad namještaja koji privlači pozornost 

i gledan izvana, kroz staklo izloga. 

Bijeli, kružni objekt, na prvi pogled nedefinirane funkcije, 

prozračne, gotovo čipkaste strukture, zapravo je 

Osorom, zaobljeni element za sjedenje, njemačkog 

dizajnera Konstantina Grcica. Cirkularni sustav za sjedenje 

neobična je konstrukcija, kombinacija praznine 

i svjetla. Napravljen je od otporne fiberglass smole, 

pa je pogodan za javne prostore i vanjske uvjete. 

Prvotno zamišljen kao komad za prostrane javne površine, 

poslije je adaptiran kako bi odgovarao svakodnevnoj 

upotrebi u kućanstvu te je veličina prototipa 

znatno smanjena. Osorom je pomalo futuristički 

komad namještaja, pri čemu se nameće kao minimalističko 

rješenje za one koji se ne boje inovacije i 

eksperimentiraju s novim formama koje “pokrivaju” 

106

Kultni komad 

U Hrvatskoj se Osorom može kupiti u Art Interijerima u 

Splitu, te Themeliji u Zagrebu / In Croatia you can buy 

Osorom in Art Interijeri in Split and in Themelia in Zagreb 

drevnu funkciju sjedenja. Grcicev Osorom je našao već 

i širu primjenu, koristi se i kao stolić, a njegova elegancija 

i skulpturalnost zasigurno će zaintrigirati sve one koji u 

namještaju traže više. 

Konstantin Grcic je rođen u Münchenu 1965. godine i 

slovi za jednog od važnijih suvremenih njemačkih dizajnera. 

Poznata izdavačka kuća Phaidon Press iz Londona 

objavila je 2005. monografiju o njegovu radu. Prošle ga 

je godine prestižni magazin “Architektur und Wohnen” 

proglasio A&W dizajnerom godine. Nakon studija u Dorsetu, 

upisao je poslijediplomski studij dizajna namještaja 

na prestižnom Royal College of Art u Londonu, koji je 

završio 1990. godine, te sljedeću godinu proveo radeći 

za studio Jaspera Morrisona. Uskoro se vraća u rodni 

München gdje pokreće vlastiti posao. Od tada surađuje 

s brojnim tvrtkama za proizvodnju namještaja i produkt 

dizajn, uključujući Cappellini, Flos, Magis, Moroso, Krups 

i nekolicinu drugih. 

Studio Konstantin Grcic Industrial Design (KGID) osnovan 

je 1991., a ured se od tada specijalizirao u brojnim područjima 

dizajna, od produkt dizajna do radova uže vezanih 

uz arhitekturu. Mnogi proizvodi iz Grciceva studija 

dobili su prestižna priznanja, poput nagrade Compasso 

d’Oro za poznatu lampu Mayday 2001., te se već danas 

nalaze u muzejima poput MoMA-e, Centra Georges 

Pompidou i drugih. Jednom prigodom je svoj vlastiti dizajnerski 

stil opisao riječima: aktualan, dostupan, isplativ 

i realističan. 

Konstantin Grcic definira funkciju u humanim terminima, 

kombinirajući formalnu strogost sa znatnom mentalnom 

oštrinom i humorom. Svaki od njegovih radova nastao 

je na podlozi pažljivog istraživanja povijesti dizajna i arhitekture 

te njegove vlastite strasti i zanimanja za nove 

tehnologije i materijale. Iako ga često opisuju kao minimalista, 

Grcic radije za sebe i opis svog djela izabire 

riječ „jednostavnost“. Svakom novom projektu pristupa 

s analitičkom strogošću kako bi postigao preciznu formu, 

često oplemenjenu humornom notom, te vodeći 

računa o tome kako će ljudi, korisnici, reagirati na gotov 

produkt. 

U prvih desetak godina karijere, Grcic radi unutar racionalnog 

dizajnerskog jezika da bi nakon toga počeo eksperimentirati 

sa softverom za kompjutorski dizajn kako bi 

stvorio što fluidnije forme. U jednom trenutku inzistira na 

stvaranju namjerno “čudnih” oblika u novim materijalima, 

na što je pristala i tvrtka Magis za koju je radio. Ovakva 

sloboda stvaranja rezultirala je kolekcijom malih, plosnatih 

ravnina spojenih uglovima stvarajući trodimenzinalne 

forme; nastao je komad Chair One. 

Suradnja s tvrtkom Krup, tradicionalnim njemačkim brandom, 

rezultirala je drugačijim pristupom u skladu s povijesno 

definiranim imidžom koji Krup uživa. Umjesto da radikalno 

pristupi dizajnu praktičnih, svakodnevnih predmeta 

iz kućanstva, odlučio se tek za blago redefiniranje, vodeći 

računa da eksperiment ne prevlada funkcionalnost, 

da se ne izgubi smisao nauštrb dizajnerskog hira. 

Studio Konstantin Grcic Industrial Design (KGID) proslavio 

se eksperimentom i konstruktivnom individualnošću. 

Proizvode KGID-a odlikuje funkcionalnost, humor i inovativnost. 

Bilo da ovi predmeti zadivljuju ili iritiraju, Grcicev 

dizajnerski potpis ne može proći nezamijećen. Kao uzore i 

duhovne mentore navodi majstore poput Achillea Castiglionija 

i Ettorea Sottsassa. 

Konstantin Grcic živi i radi u Münchenu, čita Hemingwaya, 

sluša “Beasty Boyse” i stvara predmete za ambijent 

budućnosti.

Konstantin Grcic: Osorom, 2004 

Unusual Combination 

of Emptiness and Light 

“The search for the right material and technology mostly determines the project from the very 

beginning, as it often directs the course of the design process. But in the case of Osorom, a twometre 

seating element for four to six people, the process was completely reversed. The piece 

was completely designed by computer, without any previous decision regarding the material that 

would be used. I didn’t name it Osorom by accident, as it contains the name of the client, company 

Moroso, pronounced backwards”

A piece of cult 

Konstantin Grcic 

Cijena Osoroma je oko 7000 kn / The 

prize of Osorom is about 7000 kn 

A 

newly opened hi-tech store in Zagreb recently 

presented an interesting piece of furniture 

that even attracts attention when it is 

observed from the outside, through the store 

window. The white, circular object, with a seemingly 

undefined function and an ethereal, almost lacy structure, 

is actually a rounded seating element called Osorom, 

designed by German author Konstantin Grcic. This 

circular seating system is an unusual construction that 

represents a combination of emptiness and light. It was 

made of resilient fibreglass resin, which makes it convenient 

for public premises and outdoor conditions. Originally 

designed as a piece for spacious public premises, 

it was eventually adapted in order to fit into an everyday 

household by having its prototype size significantly 

reduced. Osorom is a slightly futuristic piece of furniture, 

while also leaving the impression of a minimalist 

solution for those who aren’t afraid of innovation and 

experiments with new forms that still “cover” the ancient 

seating function. Grcic’s Osorom has already been 

redefined as it is being used as a coffee table, and its 

elegance and sculptural qualities are bound to intrigue 

everyone who looks for something more in furniture. 

Konstantin Grcic was born in Munich in 1965, and he 

has a reputation of one of Germany’s more important 

contemporary designers. Famous London publishing 

company Phaidon Press released a monograph detailing 

his career in 2005, while prestigious magazine “Architektur 

und Wohnen” awarded him the title of A&W 

Designer of the Year for 2007. After graduating in Dorset, 

he entered a postgraduate course in furniture design 

at the prestigious Royal College of Art in London, 

which he completed in 1990, and he followed that up 

by spending the next year working for Jasper Morrison’s 

studio. He soon returned to his native Munich to start 

his own business. Ever since, he has collaborated with 

numerous companies for furniture manufacturing and 

product design, including Cappellini, Flos, Magis, Moroso, 

Krups and several others. 

Studio Konstantin Grcic Industrial Design (KGID) was 

started in 1991, and has since specialized in a number 

of design areas, from product design to projects that 

109

110

Konstantinova kolekcija sjedalica 

“One” za Magis / Konstantin’s 

“One”seating collection for Magis 

are closer to the field of architecture. Numerous products 

from Grcic’s studio won a lot of prestigious awards, 

such as the 2001 Compasso d’Oro Award for his famous 

Mayday lamp, and have already made their way 

into museums like MoMA, Georges Pompidou Centre 

and others. He once described his designer style with 

the following words: current, accessible, profitable and 

realistic. 

Konstantin Grcic defines function in human terms by 

combining formal sternness with a significant amount of 

mental sharpness and humour. All of his projects were 

based on careful researches of design and architecture 

history, as well as his own passion and interest for 

new technologies and materials. Although often described 

as a minimalist, Grcic is more comfortable with the 

word “simplicity” when analyzing his work. He approaches 

each new project with analytic sternness that leads 

to precise form, often ennobled with a humorous 

note, but he also pays a great deal of attention to how 

the users themselves will react to the finished product. 

In the first ten years of his career, Grcic worked within a 

rational designer language, but he then started experimenting 

with computer-design software in order to 

accomplish forms that are more fluid. He started insisting 

on creating purposely “odd” figures in new materials, 

which was supported by the company he worked 

for, Magis. This type of creative freedom resulted in a 

collection of small flat surfaces with connected angles 

that created three-dimensional forms; that was the origin 

of Chair One. 

Cooperation with company Krup, traditional German 

brand, resulted in a different approach that was much 

more in harmony with the historically defined image of 

Krup. Instead of radically approaching the process of 

designing practical and everyday household appliances, 

he decided to slightly redefine them while making 

sure that the experiment doesn’t outweigh the functional 

component, which would result in a designer whim 

causing the product to lose sense. 

Studio Konstantin Grcic Industrial Design (KGID) became 

famous for their experiments and constructive individuality. 

Their products are characterized by functionality, 

humour and innovativeness. Regardless of whether 

you’re impressed or irritated by these objects, Grcic’s 

designer work will always leave a strong impression. He 

states artists like Achille Castiglioni and Ettore Sottsasso 

as his role models and spiritual mentors. 

Konstantin Grcic lives and works in Munich, reads Hemingway, 

listens to “Beastie Boys” and creates objects 

for the ambience of the future.

U vrijeme kada industrija namještaja obiluje raznovrsnim 

materijalima i metodama obrade, 

kao reakcija na komercijalizaciju, dizajneri su 

prihvatili trend koji prkosi svim trendovima, a to 

je sirovo ili neobrađeno drvo. Cilj je uzeti najbolje 

od prirode i prenijeti to u dizajn interijera. Bez obzira 

o kojem se predmetu radi, unijet će toplinu 

u vaš dom. Sjedalice, svijećnjaci, satovi, pa čak 

i lampe... svaki predmet za sebe je poseban i 

uklopa se u svaki stil. Oni kreativniji sami se mogu 

prepustiti završnoj obradi.

In a period when the furniture industry has so 

many different materials and processing techniques 

to choose from, as a reaction to the 

increasing level of commercialization, designers 

have accepted a trend that defies all other 

trends, and that is rough and unprocessed 

wood. Their goal is to take the best that nature 

has to offer and use it in the field of interior design. 

Regardless of the object in question, it is 

guaranteed to bring warmth into your home. 

Chairs, candlesticks, clocks, even lamps... every 

object is uniquely special and fits into any style 

you can imagine. Those who have a little more 

creativity can even provide the finishing processing 

touches themselves.
