Uvodna rijec 

Introductory word 

Otkad se riječ “urbano” nametljivo uvukla u naš rječnik, a gradska vreva postala sinonim za 

zabavu, povratak prirodi i selu zvuči zaista egzotično. Veliki potencijal koji posjeduje seosko gospodarstvo 

još je neiskorišten, a Istra je prva regija koja je prepoznala gorljivu ljudsku želju za malo 

drugačijim odmorom na kojem ćete se približiti prirodi i odmaknuti od svakodnevice. 

U Istri možete birati između dvjestotinjak seoskih gospodarstava, a u svakom ćete uživati u “polaganosti”. 

Marljivi domaćini dočekat će vas s osmijehom i plodovima vlastita rada. Ne morate se 

bojati spavanja u sijenu jer će istarske stancije ispuniti očekivanja i najvećih gradskih šminkera. 

Ako odmor bez adrenalina ipak nije vaš odabir, vodimo vas u pravu avanturu – “šetnju” Velebitom 

džipom. Sve što vam treba jest želja za uživanjem i dobro društvo. 

A druženje arhitekta Andrije Rusana i dizajnera svjetla Deana Skire rezultiralo je vrhunskim arhitektonsko-dizajnerskim 

ostvarenjem. Nedavno otvorena “Kuća svjetla” jedan je od arhitektonski 

najljepših poslovnih objekata u Hrvatskoj, u kojem su predstavljene spektakularne mogućnosti 

light dizajna, discipline koja tek treba zaživjeti u hrvatskoj arhitektonskoj praksi. 

Također vam predstavljamo projekt Muzeja suvremene umjetnosti u Zagrebu, koji je svojim izgledom 

i smještajem već izazvao mnoge polemike. 

Uvođenje reda u poslovanju arhitekata te zaštita javnog prostora i okoliša samo su neki od ciljeva 

Komore arhitekata, čija nam je predsjednica gospođa Helena Knifić-Schaps pobliže opisala 

ulogu i važnost same Komore. 

Nadamo se samo da se hrvatski arhitekti neće preplašiti reda te nam uskratiti zanimljiva arhitektonska 

ostvarenja. Dal’Casin tim stručnjaka reda se ne boji te vam i u ovom broju predstavljamo 

najljepše luksuzne nekretnine na području Lijepe naše. Obratite nam se s vašim pitanjima i prijedlozima, 

stojimo vam na raspolaganju. 

uredništvo 

Since when the word “urban“ has presumptuously entered our daily vocabulary and the flurry 

of the city become a synonym for amusement, return to the nature and rural might sound really 

exotic. A great potential of one rural estate is still unexploited, and Istria is first region which has 

recognized this fervent human desire for some other way of spending vacation, closer to the 

nature and detached from the every day routine. 

In Istria you may choose from among 200 rural estates and on each of them you’ll enjoy in “slowing 

down”. Diligent hosts will greet you with a smile and fruits of their own hands. Do not worry, 

you will not end sleeping in a hay; Istrian estates (stancija) will fulfil expectations even for the 

ultimate spoiled city child. 

If, after all, a vacation without an adrenaline is not an option we are taking you to the real adventure 

– “walk” on Velebit by jeep. All you need is a desire for enjoyment and good company. 

And being in good company for an architect Andrija Rusan and a designer of lighting Dean Skira 

resulted in the prime architectural-designer creation. 

The House of Light, recently opened, is one of the most beautiful commercial buildings in Croatia 

with spectacular possibilities of lighting design; discipline which is yet to become more vital in 

Croatian architectural practice. 

Also, we are introducing the Museum of Contemporary Art in Zagreb, which already raised many 

controversies. 

Ms. Helena Knifić-Schaps described the role and importance of the Chamber of Architects and 

Civil Engineering and its goals like bringing order into the business of architects and protecting 

public space and environment as some of them. 

We only hope that architects will not be afraid of order and withhold interesting architectural 

designs. 

Surely Dal’Casa’s team of experts is not afraid of order so in this edition too, we are displaying in 

front of you the most beautiful luxury real estates in Croatia. Please, send us your questions and 

your suggestions; we are at your disposal.

Zelene Istre

Tema broja 

Stancija Meneghetti nezaobilazna je postaja svakog pripadnika 

jet-seta / Stancija Meneghetti is an unavoidable station for a 

real jetsetters 

Ubrzan životni ritam, predugo radno vrijeme, 

brojne obveze i pritisci kojima smo svakodnevno 

izloženi mnoge danas dovode do granica 

izdržljivosti. Posvećeni uvijek novom zadatku, rastrgani 

između poslovnog i privatnog života, a želeći biti 

najbolji sada i zauvijek, unatoč uloženom naporu, događa 

se upravo suprotan rezultat. Gradska vreva koja nas 

je prije uzbuđivala, sada ne predstavlja ništa više nego 

nepodnošljivo zujanje pretrpane ljudske košnice. Zrak, 

okusi i mirisi se miješaju i dobivaju istu bezličnu nijansu. 

Jedino što nam zaista u tim trenucima može pomoći jest 

potpuno odvajanje od svakodnevice i povratak samima 

sebi, a to često ne možete napraviti ni u vlastitu domu. 

Naprosto, sivkasta patina dosade i stresa zahvatila je i 

vaš jedini preostali kutak. Hitno, bez oklijevanja, morate 

negdje – otputovati. 

Ali, gdje otići? S kim, kad i koliko daleko? Masovni turizam 

ne pruža mnogo. Pred vama su klasični turistički paket-aranžmani 

– pretrpani betonski hoteli i šetanje nekim, 

istina, krasnim gradićem na obali, ali u koloni s gomilom 

neznanaca, te kasnije večera s tim istim neznancima i 

grabljenje hrane sa švedskog stola. S pravom se pitate 

je li to uistinu rješenje. Istina je da su takva putovanja 

često i sama stresna, a stres vi definitivno želite izbaciti iz 

svoga života, pa makar to bilo samo tijekom godišnjeg 

odmora. Ne želite bezglavo tumarati gradom i kupovati 

nepotrebne stvari i suvenire iz Azije. Zato ste ovaj put 

odabrali odmor – na seoskom turističkom gospodarstvu. 

I to u Istri. 

U Istri možete birati između dvjestotinjak seoskih gospodarstava 

na kojima ćete uživati u “polaganosti”. Možete 

birati između luksuznih vila za odmor, seoskih kuća, malih 

obiteljskih hotela i apartmana u ruralnom stilu gdje će 

vas, bilo da je riječ o arhitekturi ili kuhinji, marljivi domaćini 

dočekati s plodovima vlastita rada. I baš svuda ćete 

dobiti ono po što ste došli – vrijeme za sebe, povratak 

prirodi i odmak od svakodnevice. Ako to želite, seoski 

turizam podrazumijeva i sudjelovanje u seoskim zbivanjima. 

Znači, osim što će vas raspoloženi domaćin primiti 

na imanje zajedno sa svojom obitelji, ponuditi vas lokalnom 

kuhinjom sa svježim namirnicama, možete, primjerice, 

uživati u čistom zraku, ići u berbu grožđa, maslina, 

tartufa i drugih sezonskih plodova, ići u lov i ribolov, nabijati 

kondiciju biciklizmom, planinarenjem, naučiti kuhati 

tradicionalna jela koja vam je možda već netko spremao, 

ali se niste sjetili pitati baš taj fenomenalni recept... 

To je tek abeceda seoskog ugostiteljstva, bez koje bi bilo 

nemoguće uopće govoriti o toj vrsti turizma. 

Počeci organiziranoga seoskog turizma su predvidljivi. 

Ljudski stampedo tijekom turističkih sezona koji ne poštuje 

svog domaćina, postao je nepoželjan. Kako je masovni 

turizam sa sobom donio niz problema, poput zagađenosti 

okoliša i pretrpanosti kapaciteta, ruralni se razvio 

kao prirodna reakcija na nastale posljedice. Počeo se 

razvijati sredinom prošlog stoljeća u Austriji, čijim je seoskim 

područjima prije njegove pojave prijetilo iseljavanje 

i, u skladu s tim, propast. I dok je alpski predio tada zaostajao 

u razvoju, danas su upravo seoska gospodarstva 

tamošnji glavni gospodarski “motor”. 

U Hrvatskoj se sličan trend javlja početkom devedesetih 

godina prošlog stoljeća, no pravi procvat seoski turizam 

doživljava tek posljednjih nekoliko godina. U odnosu na

Stancija Meneghetti nalazi se na imanju od 10 hektara / 

Stancija Meneghetti occupies the property of 10 acres 

Seoski turizam ne isključuje luksuz / Rural tourism 

does not exclude luxury 

ostale dijelove Hrvatske, Istra je najviše napredovala u 

tom pogledu zahvaljujući svom iznimnom zemljopisnom 

položaju i prirodnoj obdarenosti. Zahvaljujući blizini Italije, 

Austrije i Njemačke, odakle u Hrvatsku stiže najviše turista, 

Istra se vrlo brzo nametnula kao predvodnik agroturizma 

među regijama. Na tomu najvećem jadranskom 

zelenom poluotoku sjedinili su se svi elementi potrebni 

upravo za tu vrstu ugostiteljstva – blaga mikroklima s više 

od dvije tisuće sunčanih sati godišnje, glavno je obilježje 

poluotoka koji mediteranski prostor povezuje s kontinentalnim 

i srednjoeuropskim. Drugim riječima, more, livade, 

planine i razvedena obala – sve to vidjet ćete ako vas 

put nanese u Istru. Gdje ćete točno otići, ovisi ponajprije 

o tome koliko ste za to spremni platiti. Jedino što vas ne 

mora brinuti jest godišnje doba jer većina seoskih imanja 

prima goste tijekom čitave godine. 

Želite li luksuz, pravo mjesto za vas je Stancija Meneghetti. 

To luksuzno imanje smjestilo se između Pule i Rovinja, 

u samoj unutrašnjosti Istre, tek dva kilometra od morske 

obale, a nasuprot otočju Brijuni. Na 120 tisuća četvornih 

metara nalazi se autentična istarska kuća (stancija) iz 

dvadesetih godina prošlog stoljeća. Vila za deset osoba 

20 

je nedavno potpuno obnovljena, luksuzno opremljena, 

okružena maslinicima, vinogradima i mediteranskom 

makijom. No, ono što Stanciju Meneghetti osim ponude 

razlikuje od sličnih oaza mira jest njezina povijest i 

glamur kojim je okružena. Izgrađena je, naime, u blizini 

najveće austrougarske utvrde na tom području, pa je u 

početku služila časnicima i njihovim gostima kao mjesto 

za predah i užitak svake vrste. Gravitira otočju Brijuni na 

kojem se sredinom 20. stoljeća nalazila ljetna rezidencija 

jugoslavenskog predsjednika Josipa Broza Tita, a gdje su 

svojedobno boravili redatelj Milosz Forman, glumice Elizabeth 

Taylor i Sophia Loren, Alberto Moravia, nizozemska 

kraljica Julijana, danska kraljica Margareta, britanska 

kraljica Elizabeta II., Fidel Castro, Margaret Thatcher 

i mnogi drugi. Ako se želite osjećati baš kao pravi pripadnik 

jet-seta, Stancija Meneghetti za vas je nezaobilazna 

postaja. Izgrađena je u bijelom istarskom kamenu 

i skladna je mješavina urbanog i ruralnog, modernog i 

tradicionalnog. 

Za svoju intimnost, ovdje se ne morate bojati – osim što 

vas štiti okućnica od 10 hektara, vaši prvi susjedi su – obični 

zrikavci. Dvorište je opasano kamenim zidom unutar

Tema broja 

Stancija Negričani u vlasništvu obitelji Modrušan / 

Stancija Negricani, the Modrušans’ estate 

kojeg su glavna kuća i kuća za goste. Povezane nadstrešnicom 

i stazom, čine jedinstvenu cjelinu. Na imanju je i 

gospodarska zgrada, udaljena stotinjak metara, u kojoj 

su vlasnikov vinski podrum i mala uljara za proizvodnju 

maslinova ulja. Nadalje, interijer vile je opremljen antiknim 

i novim namještajem, a pri ruci su vam sve mogućnosti suvremenog 

života. Što god poželjeli, od tostera i ledomata 

do satelitske televizije i interneta, to ćete u Stanciji Meneghetti 

dobiti. Dva bazena s hidromasažom, potpuno 

opremljen fitness i finska sauna tek su uvod u najbolje od 

života. A najbolja je, u ovom slučaju, kuhinja. Za sve vaše 

gurmanske potrebe pobrinut će se kuhar Jean Yves. Trebate 

mu samo reći što želite jesti, a on će vam to pripremiti. 

Povrće i voće možete sami ubrati u vrtu na imanju, 

a na Stanciji Meneghetti tradicionalno se proizvode vino 

i maslinovo ulje. Jednom riječju, raj na zemlji. 

Upravo je boravak u jednom takvom raju potaknuo 

Mirjanu Modrušan, vlasnicu imanja Stancija Negričani, 

da se zajedno sa svojom obitelji okuša u sličnom poslu. 

Imanje obitelji Modrušan rasprostire se na 34 tisuće četvornih 

metara u zaselku Divšićima, a upute za dolazak 

do njega su vrlo precizne. Ne svladate li kartu, lako se 

možete izgubiti. No, zanimljivo je, kažu vlasnici, da se češće 

gube domaći nego strani gosti. Potonji se, naime, za 

razliku od domaćih gostiju, uvijek potrude nabaviti kartu 

mjesta u koje dolaze. 

Ni ovdje komfor nije upitan – na raspolaganju su vam 

sobe, ukupno 23 kreveta, opremljene antikvitetima, s 

modernim kupaonicama. Sobe su nazvane prema samoniklom 

i aromatičnom bilju kojim imanje obiluje, a domaćini 

ga koriste za pripravljanje čajeva i začina. Hrana 

i uživanje u netaknutoj prirodi ovdje su strogi imperativ. 

Ako želite, možete ne raditi baš ništa. Kad vam dosadi 

ljenčarenje, u konobi možete uživati u istarskom pršutu i 

sirevima, zajedno s domaćinom na ognjištu peći kobasice 

izrađene prema tradicionalnom desetljetnom obiteljskom 

receptu, piti istarsku supu i jesti kruh iz krušne peći. 

U prostranoj kuhinji možete naučiti kako se pripremaju 

tradicionalna mediteranska i kontinentalna jela od plodova 

iz vrta ili kušati birana vina istarskih proizvođača iz 

enoteke. Ovdje možete čuvati domaće životinje, naučiti 

praviti sir, vidjeti kako se suši pršut i pripravlja maslinovo 

ulje. Ljubitelji konja mogu jahati na obližnjem ranču prijatelja 

obitelji, a zaljubljenici u more tijekom ljeta sunčati se 

i okupati u bazenu ili u moru udaljenom desetak minuta 

od stancije. Ukratko, sve što vam srce poželi. 

S druge strane, izbirljivost u jelu navela je Marina Lupetina 

da otprilike 20 kilometara od Pule, u selu Bratulićima, 

započne posao sa svojim seoskim gospodarstvom 

nazvanim “Agroturizam Istra Partner”. Baveći se ugostiteljstvom, 

obitelj Lupetino odlučila je gostima pružiti 

ono što su i sami tražili, a nigdje nisu nalazili – svježu 

21

hranu pripremljenu po tradicionalnoj recepturi od 

namirnica uzgajanih u vlastitu vrtu. Kupili su imanje 

s autohtonom istarskom kućom i krenuli ispočetka. 

Srušivši kuću do temelja, izgradili su je opet od istog 

kamena. Danas se na imanju nalaze dvije kuće sa 

sobama i restoran. Tradicionalna istarska jela pripravljena 

od svježe ribe, mesa, lokalnog uzgojenog povrća 

i drugih seoskih namirnica ovom su imanju priskrbili 

imidž nezaobilaznoga gurmanskog uporišta. 

Primjerice, krumpir ovdje nećete dobiti pečen u fritezi, 

već će vam ga servirati ispečenog u peći s komadićima 

pršuta koji mu daju posebnu aromu. Sva 

hrana pripremana je po starim recepturama, samo 

s osnovnim začinima, bez modernih eksperimenata. 

Domaćini vole reći kako u njihov restoran svraćaju 

gosti kojima je prioritet bogata, a ne puko dekorativna 

trpeza. Ista filozofija se vidi u svakom kutu njihova 

gospodarstva – gdje god se okrenete, vidite 

goli kamen i drvo, ugođaj je topao, a sve bez trunke 

kiča. Naime, kiču je ovdje ulaz zabranjen. Naravno, 

nedostatak kiča ne znači neudobnost pa ćete i 

ovdje moći uživati u prednostima modernog svijeta 

poput klime, satelitske televizije, interneta. Obitelj 

Lupetino ima svoj vrt i vinograd koji im omogućava 

da godišnje proizvedu i do 600 litara vrlo traženog 

domaćeg vina. Ako im neka namirnica nedostaje, 

obrate se nekom od lokalnih mještana i hrana je osigurana. 

U kvalitetu i ispravnost namirnica ne morate 

sumnjati jer se proces nabave, skladištenja i obrade 

radi u kontroliranim uvjetima. 

Bez obzira koje seosko imanje odaberete za svoj 

odmor, uživanje svim čulima vam je zajamčeno. 

Iako se doima zabavno i privlačno, započeti posao u 

agroturizamu nije jednostavno kao što se na prvi pogled 

čini. Ako vas privlači takav pothvat, svi vlasnici 

seoskih imanja dat će vam isti savjet – dobro pripremite 

financijsku konstrukciju i još se bolje informirajte. 

Pri tome misle na sam koncept seoskog imanja koje bi 

trebalo biti što bliže pojmu autohtonoga. Pod pretpostavkom 

da obnavljate staro, zapušteno seosko imanje, 

što je uglavnom slučaj, morate pripaziti na mnogo 

detalja. Iako nije uvijek nužna, suradnja s konzervatorima 

je poželjna kako biste što vjernije obnovili svoje 

seosko imanje i kako bi ono, nakon silnog uloženog 

novca, predstavljalo originalnu istarsku stanciju. Mnogi, 

naime, imaju običaj kopirati, primjerice, arhitekturu 

Toskane, kojoj istarska nije slična, što nagrđuje okoliš 

i šalje lošu poruku gostima. Tu su još restauratori koji 

pomažu oko nabave namještaja, organizirana mreža 

mještana dobavljača onih namirnica kojih na vašem 

imanju nema itd. Ocijenite li da je to za vas ipak 

prevelik zalogaj, uvijek vam preostaje ugodnije, hedonizmom 

obojeno rješenje, a to je izabrati jednu od 

brojnih ruralnih oaza za vaš sljedeći odmor. Da biste 

se lakše snalazili u bogatoj ponudi, pokušajte nabaviti 

gastronomski vodič Istra Gastro – vodič s popisom 

najbolje ocijenjenih restorana i konoba (ocjenjuju se 

izbor, kvaliteta i posluživanje hrane i pića, ambijent, 

sanitarije i usluga) i adresama agroturističkih domaćinstava 

koja nude izvorna jela spravljena od namirnica 

iz vlastite proizvodnje, kao i listu najtipičnijih istarskih konoba. 

Ugodan odmor želimo.

A Tourist Boom of Green Istria 

As the mass tourism brought numerous problems like pollution and overbooking of hotels, 

the rural tourism developed as a natural reaction to the consequences. Istria very quickly 

became a leader in rural tourism in the region and its offfer is excellent. If you are planning 

to start a rural business plan thoroughly your financial construction and gather more 

informations on problems you may have 

Written by: Karla Kovaè 

A 

frantic tempo of life, too long working hours, 

numerous commitments and pressures we are 

daily exposed make many of us exhausted to 

the limits. Always dedicated to the next task, 

crucified between private and business life, wanting in 

the same time to be the best right now and for ever, and 

in spite all invested efforts, effects are just opposite. The 

flurry of the city which used to excite us now is nothing 

more than unbearable buzzing of overcrowded human 

beehive. Air, savours and smells are mixed and become 

one, same shapeless mass. 

The only thing that really can help us is complete detachment 

from daily routine and return to very selves, which is 

very often hard to achieve even at our own home. 

Simple as it is, a greyish patina of boredom and stress 

penetrated into your only little corner, and you know, 

this is a time to do something about it. Urgently, without 

hesitation, you have to – leave the town. But, where, with 

whom, when and how far are you supposed to go? 

A mass tourism does not give much. There are classic 

tourist packet-arrangements – overbooked concrete 

hotels and walking down the streets of, really, beautiful 

little coastal town but in a column of unknown people, 

having a diner later on with the same unknown people, 

pushing each other around the Swedish table. You ask 

yourself correctly if it is a true solution. 

It is the truth that such journeys are stressful by themselves, 

and stress is something that you want to get rid of 

it of your life, if only for a time of vacation. It is not your 

wish to headlong run through the town and compulso-

Impressive bathroom of Stancija Meneghetti 

ry shooting cultural monuments and lousy panoramas 

with your new digital camera. And certainly you don’t 

want to buy unnecessary things and souvenirs that actually 

came from Asia. That is why this time you choose to 

spend your vacation on – a rural tourist estate - in Istria. 

In Istria you can choose from around two hundred rural 

estates on which you will enjoy in “slowing down”. You 

can choose from luxury villas for rest, village cottages, 

small family hotels and apartments of rural style where 

diligent hosts will greet you, both in architectural and 

culinary sense, with the fruits of their own work. 

And exactly everywhere you will get what you are 

came for – a time for yourself, return to the nature and 

detachment from the daily routine. If you want you may 

participate in events in the village. 

Not only that hosts welcome you on their estate together 

with their family and offer you local food with fresh 

ingredients, but you can enjoy in clean air, you can go 

for vintage, pick olives, truffles and other fruits of the season, 

go for hunting or fishing, cycling to be back in fit 

condition, hiking; you can learn how to cook traditional 

meals which somebody once prepared and you forgot 

to ask for that extraordinary recipe... 

These are only the first letters of rural tourism alphabet 

without which there is no rural tourism to be spoken 

about. Initiation of organised rural tourism was predictable. 

A human stampede during the tourist season, not 

having a respect for its host, has already become undesirable. 

As the mass tourism brought with it numerous 

problems like pollution and overbooking of hotels, the 

rural tourism developed as a natural reaction to the 

consequences. 

It started to develop at the middle of the last century in 

Austria, which rural economies were threatened with an 

24 

emigration of people and consequently a collapse. And 

while at the time alpine areas were undeveloped, now 

their main “promoter” are the same rural economies. 

In Croatia a similar trend appeared during nineties of the 

last century, but rural tourism has been experiencing real 

blooming for the last few years. In comparison with other 

parts of Croatia, Istria has advanced in the field owing to 

its excellent geographic position and natural giftedness. 

Istria, due to its closeness to Italy, Austria and Germany, 

where the majority of foreign tourists visiting Croatia are 

coming from, very quickly became a leader in rural tourism 

of the region. 

On this, the largest Adriatic green peninsula all elements 

needed for this kind of tourism came together – mild microclimate 

with more than two thousand of sunny hours 

per year is the major characteristic of the peninsula 

which is the link between Mediterranean and continental 

and middle European area. In other words - the sea, 

meadows, mountains and well-indented coast – all that 

you will see if you happen to visit Istria. 

Where will you go precisely, depends, in the first place, 

how much you are ready to pay. The only thing you need 

not to worry about is the season of the year because 

majority of rural estates stay open for guest throughout 

the year. 

If you want luxury, the right place would be Stancija 

Meneghetti. This luxury property is located between 

Pula and Rovinj, in the inland of Istria, only 2 kilometres 

from the sea, opposite of Brijuni islands. On 120 thousand 

square metres there is an authentic Istrian house (stancija) 

built in the twenties of the last century. The villa for 

ten persons was recently completely renovated, luxury 

decorated, surrounded by olive-grove, vineyards and 

Mediterranean macchia.

“Agroturizam Istra Partner” u selu Bratulićima nezaobilazno 

je gurmansko uporište / “Agroturizam Istra 

Partner” in the village Bratulići is an unavoidable 

connoisseurs’ destination 

But, that what makes Stancija Meneghetti different from 

other similar oasis of tranquillity is its history and glamour 

that surrounds it. It is built in adjacent the largest Austria- 

Hungarian fortress on that area, and was intended for 

officers and their guests as a place for rest and various 

pleasures. 

It gravitates to adjacent archipelago Brijuni with a former 

summer residency of Yugoslav president Josip Broz Tito, 

in the middle of the last century, visited by famous men 

and women like Milosz Forman, a film director, Elizabeth 

Taylor and Sophia Loren, movie stars, Alberto Moravia, 

Netherlands queen Juliana, Dutch queen Margarita, 

British queen Elizabeth II, Fidel Castro, Margaret Thatcher 

and many, many others. 

If you want to feel like a real jetsetter, than Stancija 

Meneghetti is an unavoidable station for you. It is built of 

white stone and is a harmonious mixture of urban, rural, 

modern and traditional elements. 

Here there is no need to concern about privacy – besides 

the fact that you are protected by 10 acres of land 

surrounding you, your first neighbours are still ordinary 

crickets. The courtyard is fenced by the stone wall; there 

are the main and the guest house connected by the 

roof and a path, making thus one entity. Some hundred 

metres away there is a farm building housing a wine cellar 

and small oil press for producing oil olive. 

Furthermore, the interior of the villa is furnished with antique 

and modern furniture with all amenities of modern 

life. Whatever you may wish, from a toaster and 

ice-machine to SAT/TV and Internet, anything you 

want Stancija Meneghetti will get for you; two swimming 

pools with hydro massage, fully equipped fitness 

and Finland sauna, all that just as an introduction to the 

prime of life. 

And the best of all, in this case, is the kitchen. For all yours 

connoisseur’s desires you may have, a chef, Jean Yves 

will take care for. What you have to do is merely tell him 

what you want to eat and he will make it for you. Vegetables 

and fruit you can pick by yourself in the garden,

and wine and olive oils is traditionally produced on the 

estate. In one word: a paradise on the earth. 

Mirjana Modrušan, an owner of the estate Stancija 

Negričani, once staying in similar paradise was inspired 

to start the similar business together with her family. The 

property of family Modrušan in the hamlet Divšići has 34 

thousand square metres; they provide thorough instructions 

how to come to the estate, and if you miss the instructions 

you may get lost. 

But, as owners say, it is interesting that more often local 

people get lost than foreigners. The latter always put 

some effort to get the road map. 

Not even here the comfort is an agenda – there are 

rooms with in total 23 beds, furnished with antiques and 

modern bathrooms. Each room has a name after some 

wild and aromatic plant that the estate abounds in and 

which hosts used for preparing tea or spices. 

The food and enjoying untouched nature are an imperative. 

If you want you may freely do nothing at all. When 

being idle becomes too boring there is a wine cellar 

where you can together with the host enjoy in Istrian 

prosciutto and cheese or bake home made sausages 

on the fire place, drink Istrian soup and eat bread from 

the baker’s oven. 

In the spacious kitchen you can learn how to prepare 

traditional Mediterranean and continental meals from 

ingredients picked in the garden or taste chosen wines 

of Istrian producers from their wine collection. Here you 

can tend domestic animals, learn how to make cheese, 

prosciutto and produce olive oil. Those who like horses 

may have riding on the family’s friend’s farm, and those 

who like bathing in the sea and lying in the sun may 

swim in the pool or go to the sea only 10 minutes away. 

Shortly, there is all your heart may ever wish. 

At the other side, Marina Lupetina was inspired by her 

own finicky in what she was eating to start the business 

on her rural estate called “Agroturizam Istra Partner” 

some twenty kilometres from Pula, in the village Bratulići. 

The family Lupetina, being in catering business already, 

decided to provide for their guests what they have 

been looking for themselves but never finding it – the 

fresh food prepared based on traditional recipes from 

ingredients grown in own garden. They bought the estate 

with authentic Istrian house and started from the 

beginning; torn the old house down and rebuilt it of the 

same stone. Today they have two houses with rooms 

and a restaurant. 

Traditional Istrian meals prepared of fresh fish, meat, local 

vegetables and other countryside ingredients earn 

for the estate an image of unavoidable connoisseurs’ 

destination. For example, here they will not serve a 

French fries but potato baked in oven with slices of prosciutto 

which gives a special taste to it. All food is prepared 

based on old recipes, with essential spices and 

no modern experiments. 

The hosts like to say that their guests are people whose 

main priority is a rich table, and not merely decorative 

one. The same philosophy may be viewed in every corner 

of their estate – wherever you turn you can see pure stone 

or wood, a cosy atmosphere, without a trace of kitsch. 

Moreover, the kitsch is forbidden round here. Of course, a 

lack in kitsch does not mean a lack in comfort so there are 

amenities like an air condition, SAT/TV, Internet. The family

Interijer opremljen antiknim i novim namještajem / 

The interior is furnished with antique and modern 

furniture 

Lupetina has their own garden and vineyard and produce 

even up to 600 litres of good domestic wine. 

If there is any provision lacking they would go to the village 

and get what they need. There is no need to doubt 

the quality and freshness of the food because the purchasing, 

storing and preparing of provisions is processed 

in controlled conditions. Notwithstanding which estate 

you will choose for your vacation there is a guarantee 

that you’ll enjoy it with all your senses. 

Although it may seem like fun and appealing to start 

the business in rural tourism, it is not simple as it may look 

like. If you are attracted to the adventure, all owners of 

the rural estate will give you exactly the same advice 

– thoroughly plan your financial construction and gather 

more and more information. By this they meant a concept 

of rural estate, which should be as close to the authentic 

as possible. If you are going to renovate an old 

estate, which is often the case, you should be careful 

about many details. 

Although not always necessary, cooperation with restorers 

is welcomed in order to renovate your rural economy 

faithfully that it should become, after so much money 

invested in, an original Istrian estate. There is a custom to 

copy, for example, architecture of Toscana which does 

not resemble Istrian architecture at all and looks ugly in 

the environment sending a bad message to the guests. 

There are also restorers who help to purchase furniture, a 

net of local suppliers of provision which you don’t have 

on your property etc. If you find out, after all, that this 

would be too much for you there is always more pleasant, 

a hedonistic solution – to choose one of many rural 

oases for your next vacation. 

For your easier orientation try to get a guide edition Istra 

Gastro – a guide with a list of the best esteemed restaurants 

and vine cellars (estimation by choice, quality and 

service of food and drinks, atmosphere, hygiene and 

service) and addresses of rural tourist estates, which offer 

traditional meals prepared of ingredients from own 

production as well a list of the most typical Istrian vine 

cellars. We wish you a very pleasant vacation.

Budućnost počinje 

u muzeju 

– Kada u rujnu 2007. Muzej suvremene umjetnosti otvori vrata svoje nove zgrade u krilima Franićeva 

meandra, javnost će prvi put imati prigodu vidjeti stalni postav suvremene umjetnosti od 1950. do 

danas. Usporedo s njime, publici ćemo otvoriti i svoje dokumentacijske arhive, a djelatnost muzeja 

obogatiti popratnim sadržajima poput multimedijalne dvorane, edukacijskog centra i audiovizualnog 

studija – kazala je ravnateljica MSU-a Snježana Pintarić 

Piše: Sreæko Horvat 

Muzej suvremene umjetnosti u Zagrebu osnovan 

je 1954. kao Gradska galerija suvremene 

umjetnosti, čija je zadaća bila praćenje, 

dokumentiranje i promicanje događanja, 

tendencija i pojava u suvremenoj umjetnosti. S vremenom 

se fundus sve više počeo širiti i galerija je počela 

funkcionirati kao muzejska ustanova, a sam MSU, kako 

ga danas nazivamo, tijekom pola stoljeća pretrpio 

je niz promjena, od imena i raspoloživog prostora do 

broja zbirki i njihova sadržaja. Zgrada muzeja je dosad 

bila smještena na Katarininu trgu na Gornjem gradu. 

Ako uzmemo u obzir obujam građe, potrebu za velikim 

“svjetskim” izložbama i usporedbu s drugim muzejima suvremene 

umjetnosti diljem zapadnoeuropskih gradova, 

razumljivo je da je nakon dugogodišnjih nastojanja da se 

muzej smjesti u prikladniji prostor 1998. godine napokon 

donesena odluka o izgradnji novog muzeja na novozagrebačkoj 

lokaciji, pokraj križanja Avenije Većeslava 

Holjevca i Avenije Dubrovnik. U ljeto 1999. na nacionalnom 

arhitektonskom natječaju koji je raspisalo Ministarstvo 

kulture Republike Hrvatske i Gradsko poglavarstvo 

28 

Zagreba, a provelo Društvo arhitekata Zagreb, između 

85 pristiglih prijedloga izabran je projekt arhitekta Igora 

Franića koji je projektirao zgradu koja se proteže u pravcu 

sjever–jug, nastavljajući tako smjer Zelene potkove. 

Dana 17. studenoga 2003. postavljen je temeljni kamen 

nove zgrade, a muzej ukupne površine 14.500 četvornih 

metara trebao bi biti dovršen do rujna 2007. godine. 

Unatoč tome što se gradnja sada odvija planiranom dinamikom, 

oko zagrebačkog Muzeja suvremene umjetnosti 

već posljednjih četrdesetak godina postoje brojne 

polemike. Prvi problemi oko MSU-a sežu u 1961., kada 

se on pokušao smjestiti u Ćirilometodsku ulicu, gdje se 

onda uselio Pravni fakultet. Nakon kolebanja između 

lokacija poput Paromlina, Novog Zagreba, Trnja, Vranicanijeve 

poljane, južne obale Save, Cvjetnog naselja i 

nekih drugih, na kraju je prihvaćena lokacija na sjeveroistočnoj 

strani križanja Avenije Većeslava Holjevca i 

Dubrovačke avenije. Osim same lokacije sporan je bio i 

karakter natječaja, pa su neki zagovarali međunarodni 

natječaj, dok su drugi zagovarali nacionalni, kakav je na 

kraju i bio. Uza sve to odbačeno je već nekoliko rješenja

poput onog Gruje Golijana za lokaciju na Vranicanijevoj 

poljani, Vjenceslava Richtera u Novom Zagrebu ili Ivana 

Crnkovića za adaptaciju Paromlina. Na kraju je na javno 

raspisanom natječaju pobijedio Igor Franić, inače 

docent na Arhitektonskom fakultetu Sveučilišta u Zagrebu. 

Sam Franić ne želi mnogo govoriti o polemikama, te 

priznaje da je njemu u svemu tome jedino bilo stalo do 

što kvalitetnijeg rješenja i uspješne realizacije projekta. 

Nakon što je Gradski zavod za planiranje za oko osam 

lokacija u gradu izradio relativno detaljnu analizu, od 

vlasništva do položaja, tek je onda raspisan natječaj 

na kojemu je zatim pobijedilo njegovo rješenje. Jasno je 

da o lokaciji i kontekstu umnogome ovisi izgled bilo kojeg 

arhitektonskog ostvarenja, pa Franić spominje da bi 

izgled MSU-a zasigurno bio drukčiji da se gradi u nekom 

drugom dijelu grada, primjerice Gornjem gradu. Ovako 

na njemu prije svega možemo prepoznati karakteristike 

funkcionalističke i racionalne arhitekture, kao i karakterističan 

oblik koji podsjeća na meandar. Franić tvrdi da 

njegovo rješenje uopće nema veza s Kniferom te da on 

Cijelo prizemlje muzeja potpuno je otvoreno za posjetitelje; 

unutra će se osim muzejskih trgovina i restorana 

nalaziti i polivalentna dvorana, čitaonica, a ostali dijelovi 

bit će namijenjeni izložbama na otvorenom 

Unutrašnjost muzeja / The interior of the Museum 

nije krenuo od forme, nego od toga da pokuša shvatiti 

što će u budućnosti muzeju trebati, tj. kakva bi građevina 

zadovoljavala potrebe muzeja i kakva bi građevina 

mogla odgovoriti na pitanje suvremene umjetnosti danas 

i u budućnosti. Ona bi, prema njegovoj viziji, trebala 

izgledati vrlo promjenjivo. “U jednom trenutku bi to mogla 

biti vrlo plošna kuća velike površine, a idealno bi bilo 

da se isto tako u jednom trenutko može stisnuti pa da 

izgleda kao vrlo uska kuća velike visine, ovisno o tome 

kakva se izložba u njoj treba dogoditi i zato je nastao taj 

meandar koji je na neki način stalna izmjena visokih i niskih 

prostora koji se međusobno dodiruju i omogućavaju 

različito spajanje. Osim toga, činilo mi se da je vrlo važan 

taj golemi prostor koji će kuća oblikovati i koji će nekako 

pokušati udomiti. Na taj način meandar obuhvaća onaj 

dio kod ulaza, veliki trijem, pa se spušta sve bliže terenu 

kako bi omogućio ljudima da gore uđu, pa se opet na 

sjevernom dijelu gdje je prostor za izložbe vani otvara 

u jedan veliki natkriveni trg kakav mislim da urbanizam 

ne poznaje. Činilo mi se da je važan dio tog izložbenog 

prostora i taj vanjski prostor, jer činjenica je da se umjenost 

događa svuda oko nas: možda je suvremenije ovo 

raskršće tu nego neka izložba koja će se dogoditi unutra 

i činilo mi se da ta stalna isprepletenost vanjskog i unutarnjeg 

prostora kući daje jednu puno veću dimenziju 

nego da je ona samo nekakva kocka koja unutra ima 

pristojno organiziran izložbeni prostor.” Premda takvo 

razmišljanje jasno upućuje na neke elemente postmodernizma, 

barem u smislu teorija vodećih postmodernista 

poput Fredrica Jamesona ili pak jednog Lyotarda 

(a to je isprepletanje vanjskog i unutarnjeg, javnog i 

privatnog, kao i nemogućnost jasne distinkcije onoga 

što je umjetnost, a što nije, na tragu Michaudove umjetnosti 

u plinovitom stanju), Franić odbacuje takve poveznice 

tvrdeći da je postmodernizam razvio neku vrstu 

29

larpurlartizma i da je sam sebi postao svrhom. Jednako 

tako, unatoč vanjskom izgledu zgrade kao i unutarnjim 

funkcijama do kojih mu je očito stalo, kaže da on nije 

funkcionalist, nego da je prije svega arhitekt. Govoreći 

o svrsi i sadržajima muzeja, Franić će reći da MSU ima 

želju biti “dnevni boravak Novog Zagreba”. Cijelo prizemlje 

potpuno je otvoreno za posjetitelje, unutra će se 

osim muzejskih trgovina i restorana nalaziti i polivalentna 

dvorana, čitaonica, a ostali dijelovi bit će namijenjeni 

izložbama na otvorenom. Penjanjem na prvi kat ulazi se 

u ostale izložbene prostore, gdje će se nalaziti i stalni postav. 

Sam restoran se provlači kroz cijeli muzej skroz gore 

do krova, tako da će i terasa biti otvorena za javnost. 

Osim toga, Franić je osmislio i tri apartmana za umjetnike 

goste ili artist in residence, dva manja i jedan veći, koji su 

zapravo uobičajeni sadržaji za muzeje ove razine i veličine. 

Na pitanje je li realno da muzej bude otvoren iduće 

godine, Franić smatra da hoće i spominje mogućnost 

atraktivnog i specijalnog otvorenja. Naime, ideja Grada 

je da ovo ne bude samo gradski muzej nego da njegov 

utjecaj bude mnogo veći. Premda je značenje toliko veliko, 

Franić kaže da su vani tako veliki projekti zapravo 

normalni i uobičajeni, ali da je činjenica da oko svega 

ima toliko posla da o svemu tome zapravo ni ne stigne 

razmišljati pa ni “ne stigne sanjati svoj san”. 

U uvodu knjižice objavljene tijekom Međunarodne 

konferencije direktora muzeja suvremene umjetnosti, 

održane od 22. do 24. lipnja 2006. u Zagrebu, ravnateljica 

Muzeja suvremene umjetnosti Snježana Pintarić 

značenje nove zgrade opisala je ovako: “Kada u rujnu 

2007. muzej otvori vrata svoje nove zgrade u krilima 

Franićeva meandra, javnost će prvi put imati prigodu 

vidjeti stalni postav suvremene umjetnosti od 1950. do 

danas. Usporedo s njime, publici ćemo otvoriti i svoje 

dokumentacijske arhive, a djelatnost muzeja obogatiti 

popratnim sadržajima, poput multimedijalne dvorane, 

edukacijskog centra i audiovizualnog studija. Preseljenje 

iz starog dijela grada, iz skromnih prostornih uvjeta 

koji su nas ograničavali u razvoju djelatnosti, u novi 

dio grada i zgradu koja će nam omogućiti ne samo 

adekvatno čuvanje i izlaganje skupljene građe nego 

30 

Penjanjem na prvi kat ulazi se u ostale izložbene prostore, 

gdje će se nalaziti i stalni postav / On the first 

floor there will be other exhibition spaces as well as the 

permanent collection on display 

i svakodnevno odvijanje najrazličitijih programa – od 

čitaonica i likovnih radionica do filmskih projekcija i 

kazališnih predstava – za nas u muzeju veliki su stručni, 

ali i osobni izazov.” Nažalost, upravo je posljednjih tjedana 

iznova došlo do novih polemika. Sada kada je 

zgrada već u završnim radovima, a diskusija oko natječaja 

i najadekvatnije lokacije zaboravljena, na red 

je, dakako, došao i stalni postav muzeja. Ovaj put je 

došlo do međusobnih kritika između Snježane Pintarić i 

Zvonka Makovića, povjesničara umjetnosti koji je ugovorom 

zadužen za osmišljavanje i koncepciju stalnog 

postava nove zgrade. Unatoč tome, svi su i dalje složni 

u tome koliko je značenje novog muzeja, a nadajmo 

se da će Muzej suvremene umjetnosti postati ne samo 

veliki dnevni boravak Novog Zagreba nego i dnevni 

boravak u kojemu više neće biti svađa između obitelji, i 

kojim će Hrvatska napokon moći ostvariti sve svoje potencijale 

na polju suvremene umjetnosti. Baš kao što su 

to, primjerice, bile Nove tendencije šezdesetih godina 

prošlog stoljeća.

Events 

Future Begins in the Museum 

– When the Museum of Contemporary Art in September 2007 opens the doors of its new building within 

the wings of Franić’s meander, the public, for the first time, will have the occasion to see the permanent 

collection of contemporary art from 1950 till nowadays. At the same time, the public will have an opportunity 

to see our documentation archives while the museum will enhance its activity by additional 

programs like multimedia-hall, educational centre and audio-visual studio – said the director of the 

Museum, Ms Snježana Pintarić 

Written by: Sreæko Horvat 

The Museum of Contemporary Art in Zagreb has 

been established in 1954 as the Town Gallery of 

Contemporary Art, which main task was to monitor, 

document and promote events, tendencies and 

phenomenon within the contemporary art. As time had 

passed the collection outgrew the gallery, which started 

to function as a museum. The Museum of Contemporary 

Art, as we currently call it, has been suffered numerous 

changes for half a century, ranging from its name, its 

facilities to the number of art collections and their contents. 

The museum building was situated on the Katarina Square 

in the Upper town. If we consider the volume of the museum 

sources, the need for great “world” exhibitions and 

comparison with other museums of modern art throughout 

Western European cities, than a decision to house 

the Museum into the more suitable facility, finally made in 

1998 after many years of efforts, is understandable, that 

is, to build a new museum on the location in New Zagreb, 

adjacent to the junction of Avenues of Većeslav Holjevac 

and Dubrovnik. 

In the summer of 1999, on the national architectural 

tender put out together by the Ministry of Culture of the 

Republic of Croatia and Zagreb Town Administration, 

carried out by the Zagreb Association of Architects, Igor 

Franić’s project was selected among 85 received bids. 

He designed a building of north-south orientation to continue 

the line of Green Horse-shoe. On November 17, 

2003 the cornerstone of the new building was laid down 

and the Museum with 14,500 m 2 of floor space is to be 

finished until September 2007. 

Notwithstanding the fact that the construction is progressing 

by planned dynamics, the Zagreb’s Museum of 

Contemporary Art has been raising numerous controversies 

throughout the last forty years. First problems arouse 

in 1961 regarding unsuccessful trial of settling the Museum 

in Ćirilometodska Street; instead, the Faculty of Law 

moved in. 

After wavering among several locations like Paromlin, 

New Zagreb, Trnje, Vranicanijeva poljana, south shore of 

the river Sava, Cvjetno naselje and some others, finally the 

location on the north-east side of the junction of Avenues 

of Većeslav Holjevac and Dubrovnik was accepted. 

Besides locations also a character of tender was controversial; 

some subscribed to the idea of an international 

tender and some stood for the national one as it finally 

had happened. Moreover, several designs like the one 

by Grujo Golijan for the location on Vranicanijeva poljana 

or Vjenceslav Richter in New Zagreb or Ivan Crnković 

for the renovation of Paromlin were rejected. And con- 

31

Muzej ukupne površine 14.500 m 2 trebao bi biti dovršen 

do rujna 2007. godine / The Museum with 14,500 m 2 of 

floor space is to be finished until September 2007 

clusively, Igor Franić, an assistant professor of the Architecture 

Faculty of Zagreb University, was awarded on the 

public tender. Franić alone is not willing to speak about 

controversies saying that the only thing that really matters 

to him is to achieve a high quality design and successfully 

executed project. He was awarded on the tender 

publicly put out after the Town Institute for Zoning had 

thoroughly analysed eight town locations in the view of 

their positions and ownerships. 

The outward appearance of any architectural object 

clearly depends on location and its context, so, Franić 

points out that the appearance of the Museum of Contemporary 

Art would be different if it were situated in 

some other part of the town, e.g. in the Upper town. Thus 

we can recognize characteristics of functional and rational 

architecture as well its particular shape that looks 

like meander. Franić claims that his design is not related to 

Knifer at any point, that he did not start with the form but 

rather tried to understand what the museum would need 

in the future, that is, what kind of edifice would meet the 

needs of the museum and what edifice would be able 

The whole ground floor is completely opened to visitors; 

there will be, besides museum shops and a restaurant, 

a multifunctional hall, an information centre, while the 

remaining parts will be used for outdoor exhibitions

to respond to the contemporary art today as well in the 

future. Its appearance should, according to his vision, be 

variable. “At one occasion it could be a building of very 

large surface and at yet another ideally constricted in 

one very narrow and very high building, depending on 

what kind of exhibition is about to happen. This is what the 

meander is for, a permanent changing of high and low 

spaces, which interactively touch each other thus creating 

various assemblies. Besides all that, it seemed to me 

that this huge space shaped and housed by the building 

is very important. Thus the meander comprises of the part 

near the entrance, the large porch, descending to the 

terrain and so enabling people to enter upstairs, and on 

the northern part where is the space for outdoor exhibitions 

opens towards one large, roofed square, which is 

not, I presume, yet known in urbanism. It seemed to me 

that this outdoor space is important part of exhibition 

space, bearing on mind the fact that the art is happening 

all over around us: maybe this very junction near by is 

more contemporary than any exhibition taking place on 

the inside, therefore, for me, that permanent interlacing 

of outside and inside provide for the building one even 

greater dimension than if it were just a cube with dully 

organized exhibition space inside of it.” 

Although such reasoning clearly refers to some elements 

of postmodernism, at least for theories of leading postmodernists 

like Fredric Jameson or an Lyotarda sake, (interaction 

of the outside and the inside, the public and 

the private as well a certain impossibility of clear distinction 

what art is and what it isn’t, tracking Michaud’s gas 

art), Franić declines such references claiming that the 

postmodernism had developed a kind of “l’art pour l’art” 

style and thus become a purpose for itself.” 

Seemingly, in spite the outward appearance of the building 

and its internal functions he is concerned about so

much, he refuses to call himself a functionalist but rather 

an architect. Speaking about the purpose and content 

of the Museum, Franić would say that the Museum of 

Contemporary Art has a desire to be“ a lounge of New 

Zagreb”. 

The whole ground floor is completely opened to visitors; 

there will be, besides museum shops and a restaurant, 

a multifunctional hall, an information centre, while the 

remaining parts will be used for outdoor exhibitions. On 

the first floor there will be other exhibition spaces as well 

as the permanent collection on display. The restaurant is 

running through entire museum from the bottom to the 

very top with a terrace opened for the public. Besides, 

Franić designed three apartments for artists in residence, 

two small and one larger, which are usual accessory of 

museums of this size and level. 

Asked if it is real to expect the Museum’s opening next 

year, Franić said it was, and that it would be attractive 

and special. Namely, the bottom idea of the Town 

Administration is that the Museum is far beyond to be 

merely a town museum, but should have much broader 

impact. Although its significance might be huge, Franić 

says that such projects are typical and frequent abroad, 

and that he alone has so much job to do not even having 

a time “to dream his own dream”. 

In the introduction of one small book published during 

the International Conference of Museums of Contemporary 

Art Directors, held in June 22 to 24, 2006 in Zagreb, 

Ms. Snježana Pintarić, the director of the Museum 

of Contemporary Art described the significance of the 

building in following words: ”When the Museum of Contemporary 

Art in September 2007 opens the doors of its 

new building within the wings of Franić’s meander, the 

public, for the first time, will have the occasion to see the 

permanent collection of contemporary art from 1950 till 

nowadays. At the same time, the public will have an opportunity 

to see our documentation archives while the 

museum will enhance its activity by additional programs 

like multimedia-hall, educational centre and audio-visual 

studio. Moving from the old part of town, from very 

moderate conditions which have limited our activities, 

to the new part of the town in the building with a possibility 

not only for adequate keeping and exhibiting our 

collections, but, moreover, for having daily occurrences 

through various programmes –reading sessions and 

painting workshops, film projections and theatre– for us 

in the Museum it is a huge challenge, in both sense - expert 

and personal”. 

Unfortunately, new controversies arouse once again 

few weeks ago. Now, while the building is entering its 

completion phase and the former controversies about 

the tender and the best location being almost forgotten, 

it is about the display of permanent Museum’s collection. 

The controversy is between Snježana Pintarić 

and Zvonko Maković, an art historian, who is commissioned 

to create a concept of permanent collection 

which will be housed in the new building. Despite everything, 

all agree about the significance of the Museum, 

and we hope that the Museum will not become merely 

the lounge of New Zagreb but such a lounge where 

families do not quarrel among each other and that will 

make Croatia ready to accomplish all her potentials in 

contemporary art. Exactly like the New Tendencies had 

during sixties of the last century.

Komora uvodi red u poslovanje 

arhitekata 

Helena Knifić-Schaps, ovlaštena arhitektica, obnaša dužnost predsjednice Razreda 

arhitekata Hrvatske komore arhitekata i inženjera u graditeljstvu, autorica je 

brojnih nagrađivanih projekata, a uz redoviti posao te obveze u Komori, bavi se i 

znanstvenoistraživačkim radom 

Razgovarao: Ivan Mladina 

Helena Knifić-Schaps, ovlaštena arhitektica, obnaša 

dužnost predsjednice Razreda arhitekata 

Hrvatske komore arhitekata i inženjera u graditeljstvu. 

Diplomirala je na Arhitektonskom fakultetu 

u Zagrebu 1977. u klasi profesora Begovića. Prva 

profesionalna iskustva i veliko stručno znanje stječe u projektnom 

uredu AGI-46, pod vodstvom arhitekta Slavka 

Jelineka. Svoj vlastiti ured otvara 1988. godine, u kojem 

do danas radi s arhitektom Mariom Volovićem. Autorica 

je brojnih nagrađivanih projekata te izvedenih objekata, 

kao, primjerice, stambene zgrade POS-a u Zagrebu 

i Senju, rezidencije španjolskog veleposlanika u Zagrebu, 

Centra za kulturu Maksimir, interijera kultnog BP Cluba u 

Zagrebu itd. Uz redoviti posao te obveze u Komori, bavi 

se i znanstvenoistraživačkim radom na temu pučke gradnje 

na sjevernom Velebitu. 

Kao predsjednica Razreda arhitekata Hrvatske komore 

arhitekata i inženjera u graditeljstvu, možete li objasniti 

ulogu Komore? 

Javnost često miješa Komoru s društvima i Udruženjem hrvatskih 

arhitekata. Komora je osnovana odlukom Hrvatskog 

sabora 1998. godine s nekoliko važnih ciljeva, ponajprije 

zaštite javnog prostora i okoliša, zaštite interesa 

ovlaštenih arhitekata te trećih osoba – investitora i građana. 

Nadalje, njezina je svrha uvođenje reda u poslovanje 

arhitekata poštovanjem obveza iz akata Komore 

– njezina Statuta, Kodeksa strukovne etike i cjenika usluga, 

te zastupanje interesa arhitekata pred državom i međunarodnim 

institucijama, i to suradnjom s ministarstvima, 

Hrvatskim zavodom za norme i drugima. 

34 

Helena Knifić-Schaps 

Ostvaruju li se postavljeni ciljevi? 

U proteklih osam godina puno smo radili i dosta napravili. 

Među najvažnijim postignućima je osiguranje za sve ovlaštene 

arhitekte, tako da, primjerice, u slučaju projektantske 

pogreške financijski teret ne pada jedino na investitora. 

Provoditelji smo Stalnog stručnog usavršavanja (SSU), 

prema obvezi Ministarstva zaštite okoliša, prostornog 

uređenja i graditeljstva (MZOPUG), po kojoj se svi arhitekti 

trebaju stručno usavršavati. Sustavno smanjujemo količinu 

neovlaštenog projektiranja iz područja arhitekture, 

kojim se bave neki pripadnici drugih struka, u prvom redu 

inženjeri građevinarstva. Usvojen je i Pravilnik o natječajima 

iz područja arhitekture i urbanizma, koji uvodi red i na 

tom području i koji postaje obveza svih investicija iz državnog 

proračuna. Uporno se zauzimamo da se iz Zakona 

o javnoj nabavi izbaci intelektualna usluga projektiranja, 

po uzoru na liječnike i odvjetnike. Liječnika i odvjetnika ne 

odabiremo zato što je najjeftiniji, nego zato jer je za nas 

najpovoljniji. Odabir arhitekta jedino po jeftinoći, sigurno 

je najlošiji i najnesigurniji odabir za naručitelja i investitora. 

Naročito se protivimo obvezi prilaganja “potvrde o nekažnjavanju 

u svezi sa sudjelovanjem u kriminalnoj organizaciji, 

korupciji, prijevari ili pranju novca”, koja je uvredljiva 

za svakog čovjeka, a pogotovo za nekoga tko pruža 

intelektualnu uslugu. Provodimo i edukaciju arhitekata i 

javnosti na temu autorskih prava. Opća svijest naše javnosti 

i medija o tome da svako djelo ima svoga autora 

je potpuno nerazvijena. Brošurom o autorskim pravima 

koju smo izdali, nastojimo educirati investitore da postanu 

svjesni vrijednosti objekta kao autorskog djela jer samim 

tim povećavaju i vrijednost takve nekretnine na tržištu. 

U suradnji s Udruženjem hrvatskih arhitekata, radimo na 

tome da promocijom vrijednih djela suvremene arhitekture 

i hrvatska javnost počne cijeniti “robu s potpisom”.

Koliko Razred arhitekata ima zaposlenih? 

Cijeli Razred arhitekata počiva na dvije stalno zaposlene 

tajnice. Sav ostali rad temelji se na volonterskoj osnovi. 

To je golemi posao i odricanje arhitekata koji zauzvrat 

mogu, u najboljem slučaju, očekivati pohvalu kolega, ali 

i najbolji način protoka informacija iz svih područja djelatnosti 

u struci. Svaki problem dijagnosticira se na mjestu 

nastanka i nastoji ga se odmah riješiti. Naša je potreba 

vrlo skoro zaposliti stručnog tajnika – arhitekta koji bi vodio 

Razred, a nadamo se u budućnosti i samostalnoj Komori 

arhitekata. 

Prisutni ste i u međunarodnim relacijama? 

Dakako, kao članovi Svjetskog udruženja arhitekata i Europskog 

foruma za arhitektonske politike, aktivni smo u 

svim aspektima, a naročito u Vijeću arhitekata Europe, 

gdje u svojstvu promatrača aktivno sudjelujemo u radnim 

grupama za obrazovanje i provedbu natječaja. Osobito 

dobre odnose imamo s komorama Slovenije, Njemačke, 

Italije, Slovačke, Irske, s kojima redovito razmjenjujemo 

iskustva, bilo u neposrednom radnom kontaktu ili na seminarima 

ili konferencijama. 

Kakva je suradnja Komore s MZOPUG-om i upravnim službama? 

Suradnja s Ministarstvom je sve bolja, posebice što se tiče 

stalnog stručnog usavršavanja i regulative u postupku 

izrade. Komora pruža Ministarstvu svu zakonski moguću 

potporu u sankcioniranju bespravne gradnje preko svojih 

stegovnih tijela. Prijeko je potrebna bolja suradnja u fazi 

pripreme temeljnih zakona struke – Zakona o prostornom 

uređenju, Zakona o gradnji i Zakona o Komori. 

Upravne službe koje su na izvorištu događanja u postupcima 

izdavanja dozvola trebale bi i Komoru shvatiti kao 

ravnopravnog partnera u suzbijanju neovlaštenog projektiranja. 

To još i nije baš slučaj, jer nema protoka informacija 

s njihove strane. 

Govoreći o kompatibilnosti s EU-om, znamo da se prema 

Bolonjskom procesu u studij arhitekture uvodi 1. stupanj 

u trajanju tri godine. Ne bojite li se da će se u praksi to 

pretvoriti u “višu arhitektonsku”? 

Ne, jer nam u sadašnjem sustavu školovanja upravo nedostaje 

taj profil ljudi. Jedino je pravo pitanje kojim će oni 

znanjima nakon tri godine baratati. Razred arhitekata je 

pokrenuo suradnju s Arhitektonskim fakultetom u Zagrebu, 

HAZU i iskusnim arhitektima, voditeljima projektnih ureda, 

kako bismo utvrdili što treba hrvatskom tržištu. Komora 

neće licencirati prvostupnike, nego jedino diplomante 

nakon završenih pet godina obrazovnog procesa, što je 

u potpunosti u skladu sa smjernicama Vijeća arhitekata 

Europe. 

Kako usklađujete svoje obveze u Komori s onima u redovitom 

poslovanju? 

Sve se to nadopunjava. Arhiteki s nedovoljnom praksom 

teško mogu sagledati cjelokupnu problematiku i društveni 

kontekst u kojem djelujemo. Budući da sam profesionalno 

aktivna gotovo tri desetljeća, intrigira me taj širi kontekst 

bavljenja strukom. Svoj ured osnovala sam u vrijeme kad 

je to bila doista rijetkost. Kvalitetom rada, kolega Mario 

Volović i ja stekli smo povjerenje investitora koji nam se 

redovito vraćaju. Ne odustajemo ni od javnih natječaja, 

koji opet pružaju odmak od svakodnevice i otvaraju 

nove kreativne slobode. 

Projektirali ste “BP Club”, kultno zagrebačko okupljalište 

ljubitelja jazza, kojeg je vlasnik i umjetnički direktor čuveni 

hrvatski i svjetski vibrafonist Boško Petrović. 

To je bila jedna od mojih najzanimljivijih suradnji – napraviti 

prostor u kome se pojedinac ne osjeća samim čak i 

kad je prazan. Uz veliki doprinos pok. slikara i akademika 

Miroslava Šuteja, nadam se da je to i uspjelo. 

Socijalna zgrada koju potpisuje Zaha Hadid - austrijski 

investitori svjesni su vrijednosti objekta “s potpisom” / A 

social building signed by Zaha Hadid – Austrian investors 

are aware of the value of an object “with a signature“ 

Stalno stručno usavršavanje – toliko se govori o tome u 

hrvatskim arhitektonskim krugovima, arhitekti trče za bodovima... 

Koja je svrha SSU-a? 

Svrha Stalnog stručnog usavršavanja je da se arhitekti 

kontinuirano educiraju kroz cijeli život, kako u smislu regulative, 

tako i u smislu novih materijala, tehnologija, umjetničkog 

i teoretskog znanja. Naš sustav stručnog usavršavanja 

utemeljen je na iskustvima europskih zemalja u 

kojima se on provodi već niz godina (Njemačka, Engleska, 

Irska). Ovdje moram istaknuti da smo čak i u odnosu 

na neke stare članice EU-a, poput Italije i Austrije, u velikoj 

prednosti jer ga one još nisu ni započele. Tim procesom 

želimo pripremiti hrvatske arhitekte na trenutak ulaska Hrvatske 

u EU, kada će biti potpuno kompatibilni sa svojim 

europskim kolegama i biti u mogućnosti aplicirati za Europsku 

arhitektonsku licenciju.

Helena Knifiæ-Schaps: 

The Chamber Brings Some Order 

Into the Business of Architects 

Ms. Helena Knifić-Schaps, an licensed architect and current president of Architectural 

Class of the Croatian Chamber of Architects and Civil Engineers, is an author of numerous 

awarded projects and along with her daily duties and commitments in the 

Chamber she is engaged in scientific research 

Interviewed by: Ivan Mladina 

Ms. Helena Knifić Schaps, a licensed architect is 

current president of Architectural Class of the 

Croatian Chamber of Architects and Civil Engineers. 

She graduated the Faculty of Architecture in 

Zagreb, 1977, in the class of professor Begović. Her first 

professional experiences and great deal of her expertise 

she gained working for design bureau AGI-46, under 

the leading role of architect Slavko Jelinek. In 1988 she 

founded her own office together with architect Mario 

Volović. She is an author of numerous awarded designs 

as well executed projects like POS developments in Zagreb 

and Senj, residence of Spanish Ambassador in Zagreb, 

Maksimir Cultural Centre, interior of cult BP Club in 

Zagreb etc. Along with her daily duties and obligations 

in the Chamber she is engaged in scientific research of 

popular building of the north Velebit. 

Jedan od projekata Helene Knifić-Schaps - stambene 

zgrade POS-a u Zagrebu / One of the Helena Knifić - 

Schaps’ projects - POS developments in Zagreb 

As the president of the Architectural Class of Croatian 

Chambers of Architects and Civil Engineers, could you, 

please, describe the main role of the Chamber? 

People often confuse the Chamber with various associations 

and groups of architects; we are founded by 

Croatian Parliament, that is, by the State with several 

important goals. The first commitment of the Chamber 

is to protect public space, authorised architects and 

third persons – investors and citizens. Further, its purpose 

is to bring order into the business of architects through 

respecting obligations that arise from Chamber’s acts 

– its Statute, Codex of Professional Ethics and Services 

Price List as well as representing architects and their interests 

in front of the State; it is accomplished through 

the cooperation with Ministries and Croatian Institute for 

Norms. 

Are established goals achieved? 

For the last eight years we accomplished a lot. For instance, 

now licensed architects are insured in the case 

of designer’s error so that the financial burden does not 

fall on the investor’s back, which is very important. We 

are executors of Permanent Professional Improvement 

(PPI) according to the obligation issued by Ministry of 

Environment Protection, Zoning and Civil Engineering 

(MEPZCE) that all architects have to constantly improve 

their professional knowledge. We are systematically 

37

working on decreasing the number of unauthorised designs 

which provide other professional groups, mainly 

civil engineers. There is a new Regulation on Bidding that 

brought some regulations in that area and is compulsory 

for all investors financed from the state budget. 

We are consistent in our efforts to eliminate from the 

Law on Public Purchase a definition of designing as an 

intellectual service aiming for architects to get similar 

status as doctors and lawyers. For architects are valid 

the same as for lawyers – a cheap architect does not 

mean the best choice. Moreover, we are highly disturbed 

by compulsory official notification about not 

being sanctioned for any participation in criminal organisation, 

corruption, fraud or money washing, which 

is insulting for any man, especially for someone rendering 

intellectual services. 

Also, we perform an education on authorship rights. 

Generally our public has undeveloped consciousness 

about the fact that every piece of work has its own 

author. By our brochure on authorship rights we try to 

educate investors to become aware of value of the 

object as an authorship and so increase the market 

value of the real-estate. We would like to accomplish 

that Croatian public starts to appreciate a “stuff with 

a signature“. 

How many employees does the Architectural Class have? 

The whole Architectural Class leans on two permanently 

employed administrative assistants. All other duties 

are based on voluntarily work. This is an enormous job, 

which demands self-denial of the members who can, 

at the best, expect some commendation from their colleagues; 

but, on the other hand this is the best way of 

flow of information from all areas of architecture. Each 

problem is defined on the very spot of its appearance 

and a solution is tried to be found immediately. There is a 

necessity to employ a professional secretary who would 

lead the Class and, in future, independent Chamber of 

Architects. 

You are present even in international relations? 

Of course, as members of World Architects Association, 

Council of European Architects and European Forum for 

Architectural Policies, we are active in all aspects, and 

especially within the Council of European Architects in 

various work groups. 

What kind of cooperation does the Chamber have with 

MEPZCE and Administration? 

II may say that the cooperation with Ministry is getting 

better and better, especially with issues regarding professional 

improvement and regulations on procedures 

of issuing permits. The Chamber provides for Ministry all 

legally possible support in sanctioning illegal construction 

through its bodies. But still the cooperation should 

be improved when it comes to preparation for basic 

laws – on zoning, construction and the Chamber. Administration 

is at the very origin of events in the proc- 

Habito 38

tel.: 01/ 301 0886 

habito@habito.hr 

www.habito.hr

ess of issuing permits and the Chamber should be on 

an equal footing with it in prevention of unauthorised 

designing, which is not the case at the present. 

Permanent Professional Improvement – it has been discussed 

so much within circles of Croatian architects, architects 

are running after scores...What is the purpose 

of PPI? 

The purpose of Permanent Professional Improvement 

is for architects to gain knowledge about regulations 

as well as new materials, technology, art and theory, 

through a continual lifelong education. Our system of 

professional improvement is based upon European experiences, 

where it has been already performed for 

years. Here, I should point out that we are, in relation to 

some old members of EU, like Italy and Austria, ahead 

of them. They haven’t even started with it yet. This is the 

way to prepare Croatian architects for the moment of 

joining Croatia to the European community and make 

them compatible with their European colleagues in acquiring 

the European Architect Licence. 

Interview 

Projekt “Ravnice” Helene Knifić-Schaps i Marija Volovića / 

The project “Ravnice“ of Helena Knifić-Schaps and Mario 

Volović 

When talking about compatibility with EU, we know that 

according to the Bologna Process for Architecture there 

is the 1st grade of three years studying program. Aren’t 

you afraid that in practice it will become “an associate 

degree in architecture“? 

No, because in present education system we are lacking 

such professionals with such degrees. The only real 

question is what they are going to know after three 

years? In order to find that out, the Architectural Class 

initiated cooperation with the Faculty of Architecture 

in Zagreb, Croatian Academy for Science and Art and 

experienced leaders of design studios to establish what 

real needs of Croatian market are. The Chamber will 

not licence associate degree architects but only graduated 

architects, which is absolutely in the line with the 

Council of European Architects. 

How do you coordinate your commitments in the Chamber 

with your every day working routine? 

Bearing on mind that I have been in architecture already 

for thirty years, I did consider myself able to take 

one more job which satisfies me in a different way than 

my primary occupation, giving me an opportunity to 

have a broader context of my profession. I had founded 

my office at times when it was truly rare thing to do. 

The quality of work, which my colleague Mario Volović 

and I rendered, earned a trust of investors who regularly 

came back to us. We do not restrain from public 

bidding, too, which again is a kind of detachment 

from everyday issues and opens new creative spheres 

of freedom. 

You designed “BP Club“ a cult Zagreb place for jazz 

fans, whose owner and manager is famous world vibraphone 

player Boško Petrović? 

This was one of my the most interesting cooperation’s, to 

make a space in which an individual will not feel alone 

even if there is nobody there at all. Together with the 

contribution of late Miroslav Šutej, a painter and academic, 

I hope we did succeed.

Vijesti 

Poèasno mjesto jabuci 

Mali vam ne jede voće? Natjerajte ga da zavoli – mjesto 

gdje se voće nalazi! Ovom izumu ime je “Coool”, a hladi 

i štiti voće i sve ostalo što želite jednostavnim sustavom, 

toliko jednostavnim da je pravo čudo kako ga se nitko 

prije nije sjetio. Dno s priključkom za struju lagano se hladi, 

a kupolasti prozirni poklopac, opremljen ručkom, štiti 

unutrašnjost od izvanjskih utjecaja. Temperaturu unutrašnjosti 

možete sami podešavati, a tu je i mali ventilator 

koji osigurava ravnomjerno hlađenje svih dijelova vašega 

novog kuhinjskog pomoćnika. 

Estetika u službi okoliša 

Projekt kuće “Maul Dwellings’ Landscape House” pobijedio 

je na međunarodnome natječaju za “Kuću za 

ekologe”, koji je raspisao Američki institut za arhitekturu 

(AIA). Održivost i ekološka prihvatljivost postali su 

“must” u svim sferama života, ali najčešće se doživljavaju 

kao tehničko ili etičko pitanje, pri čemu je estetska 

vrijednost često u drugome planu. Upravo je to motiviralo 

stručnjake iz AIA-e koji su od darovitih arhitekata 

i studenata arhitekture tražili da naprave projekt za 

ekološki osviještenu, ali – jednako važno – i lijepu kuću. 

Na natječaj su se javile stotine autora, a najbolju kuću 

krase, procijenili su, integritet i inspiracija. 

A Place of Honour for an Apple 

Your little one does not eat fruits? Make him to love – the 

place where fruit is! This invention called the “Cool“, cools 

and protects fruits, or anything else you want, through the 

simple system, so simple that is quite odd that none invented 

it before. The bottom of the device connected 

to the power supply mildly cools, and a cupola-like cover 

equipped by handle protects from all outside impacts. 

Inside temperature is adjustable and there is a small ventilator 

ensuring that all parts of your new kitchen assistant 

are equally cooled. 

Jakna za laku noæ 

Autor ovoga izuma sigurno je igrao i na faktor iznenađenja 

kad je izmislio jaknu koju je moguće učvrstiti 

za – spavanje. Nekoliko godina istraživanja 

dovelo ga je do zaključka kako ljudi 

puno lakše zaspu kad im je tijelo u čvrstom 

položaju (iako mu je tu činjenicu mogao 

posvjedočiti svatko tko je ikad zaspao 

sjedeći u nekom prijevoznom sredstvu). 

Zahvaljujući tome zaključku, nastala je 

unaprijeđena verzija jakne Excubo čiji se 

ovratnik učas pretvara u čvrsti oklop ili naslonjač 

za glavu, a rukavi mogu funkcionirati 

kao učvršćivači obamrlih ruku. Idealno 

za metroe u pretrpanim velegradovima...

Aesthetics for 

Environment’s Sake 

The house design “Maul Dwellings’ Landscape House 

“win the international competition for “A House for an 

Ecologist“ announced by American Institute of Architecture 

(AIA). Sustainability and ecological acceptability 

became a “must“ in every area of life, but mostly are 

seen as technical or ethical agenda, while aesthetical 

issues are put aside. Just the latter fact motivated the 

experts from AIA to challenge gifted architects and students 

to propose design of an ecologically aware but, 

still – not less important – beautiful house. Hundreds of 

authors send their proposals to the competition, and the 

best house combines, as it was esteemed, both integrity 

and inspiration. 

A Good Night Jacket 

An author of the next invention must have been counting 

on the element of surprise when he invented a jacket 

that could be tighten up for – sleeping. Several years of 

researching brought him to the conclusion that people 

would much easier fall into a sleep when their bodies 

are in steady position 

(although anybody who 

once slept in public 

transport). As a result 

of previous conclusion, 

the improved version of 

Excubo jacket came to 

existence. Its collar will 

instantly turn into the 

firm armour or head rest, 

while sleeves can function 

as fixers for numb 

arms. Ideal for metros in 

overcrowded towns.

Godina zmaja u Pekingu 

Novi pekinški aerodromi koji se gradi uoči Olimpijskih igara 

2008. opisuju kao najveći i najnapredniji ne samo po tehnološkim 

čudima nego i po dojmu koji će ostavljati na 

putnike. Simbol nove zračne luke je zmaj, a inspiracija zmajem 

i drugim drevnim kineskim 

simbolima je vidljiva 

i u obliku terminala 

koji su dizajnirali Stansted 

i Chek Lap Kok. Aerodromska 

zgrada zauzimat 

će više od milijun 

četvornih metara, što bi 

trebalo stvoriti ugodan 

prostor za procijenjenih 

43 milijuna putnika koji 

godišnje prolaze kroz 

zračna vrata Pekinga. 

A Year of 

Dragon 

in Peking 

The new Peking Airport 

under construction for 

the Olympic Games 

2008 is described as 

the biggest and the most advanced project not only regarding 

the miracles of technology but for a sensation it 

will have on travellers. The symbol of the new airport is a 

dragon; inspiration with a dragon and other ancient Chinese 

symbols is noticeable even in the shape of airport 

designed by Stansted and Chek Lap Kok. But, let’s have 

few numbers: the airport building will occupy a space of 

more than million square metres as a comfortable space 

for estimated 43 millions of travellers per year that will pass 

through the gates of Peking.

Velebit možete jednostavno proputovati džipom. 

Sve počinje u podnožju planine u selu Rizvanuši, udaljenom 

10 kilometara od Gospića. Deseci džipova čekaju 

u pustolovno-izletničkom centru Rizvan city, koji je prije 

nekoliko godina oživio Goran Šupe. U tom obnovljenom 

seoskom gospodarstvu, domaćini goste dočekuju s rakijom 

šljivovicom i domaćim ličkim sirom škripavcem. Miris 

zemlje miješa se s aromom žestice i svježinom planinskog 

zraka. Sve što zatim morate napraviti jest ući u terensko 

vozilo i idućih pet sati prepustiti se vodiču. Putovanje rutom 

Dabarski kukovi, dugom 60 kilometara, počinje na 

dionici ceste koja vodi prema Baškim Oštarijama. Nakon 

prolaska kroz tunel, ukazuje se prva od mnogobrojnih 

vizura na putovanju kroz Velebit – otok Pag i Velebitski 

kanal. Ogoljene otočne klisure, tirkiz mora spaja se s nebom 

i dijeli ih tek nijansa. No, putovanje je tek počelo 

i moramo dalje prema selu Ledeniku. Cijelo vrijeme 

gledamo Pag, stižemo do Dabarske kose i makadama 

gdje se vizura mijenja – otvara se pogled na udolinu Ravni 

Dabar i planinarski dom. Treba reći da predio Dabarski 

kukovi ni sami planinari dugo nisu posebno zapažali 

jer se nalazio izvan rute dotad markiranih staza. Zato su 

Dabarski kukovi kasno dobili i svoje ime. Iz daljine, zbog 

svoje rascjepkanosti, Dabarski kukovi izgledaju kao samo 

jedan osamljeni masiv koji se neznatno razlikuje od dru-

Predivni prizori koji ostaju dugo u sjećanju / Beautiful sights 

for remembering 

gih. No, precizniji pogled otkriva lanac osebujnih kraških 

udolina s obradivim tlom, a najmarkantnije su svakako 

Dabri – Crni, spomenuti Ravni i Došen Dabar. Nakon 

prolaska kroz tunel, napravljen golom rukom još za vrijeme 

Austro-Ugarske, prolazimo preko Došen Dabra, Došen 

dulibe i Bačić dulibe, područja nekad naseljenog 

ljudima i obrađivana. Tada napokon stižemo do točke 

na kojoj se vide cijeli Dabarski kukovi, najzanimljiviji dio 

srednjeg Velebita. Obići Dabarske kukove njihovim hrptom, 

nemoguće je zbog već spomenute rascjepkanosti 

grebena. Pojedine kukove moguće je obići sa staze 

smještene u udolini koja ih povezuje, a automobilom se 

znatno skraćuje prilaz cestom. Dabarski kukovi nisu previsoki, 

ali penjačima pružaju dovoljno izazova. Stajemo i 

promatramo novu panoramu. Prizor dostupan rijetkima, 

sada se pružao pred našim očima. Kamene kapice u 

dnu okružene zelenim vijencima jele poklopljene plavičastom 

izmaglicom neba i svježina – ništa više nije potrebno 

u tom trenutku. Neki pokušavaju zarobiti trenutak 

fotografiranjem, no uvijek sa spoznajom da nijedna 

fotografija ne može udaljenom promatraču prenijeti 

istinski doživljaj. Iako se čini vječnim, trenutak divljenja 

je prošao i krećemo dalje džipovima otkrivati nova lica 

prirode. Ako se niste toplo odjenuli za ovo putovanje, 

pogriješili ste. Jer, put nas vodi do jame snježnice u kojoj 

se snijeg zadržava cijele godine. Kraška građa Velebita 

raj je za speleologe koji svako malo otkriju neku novu 

jamu ili špilju na ovom području. Velebit se tako ponosi 

na sjevernom predjelu najdužom jamom u Hrvatskoj, 

Lukinom jamom, dubokom gotovo 1400 metara, koja je 

na popisu dvadeset najdubljih jama na svijetu. 

44 

Stižemo do planinarske kuće gdje ostavljamo džipove i 

pješačimo cestom do izvora Težakovac, jednom od rijetkih 

izvora na vršnom dijelu Velebita. Put nas dalje vodi 

do starog napuštenog sela Škorpovca gdje se nalaze 

ostaci kuća u kojima su nekad živjeli velebitski gorštaci. 

Kameni ostaci svjedoče o teškoj ljudskoj borbi za preživljavanjem 

u srcu planine. Slave izdržljivost i volju, suživot 

prirode i čovjeka, koji poput djeteta ovisnog o majčinim 

hirovima traži zaklon u planinskom zagrljaju i utočište 

između njezinih klisura. Desetljećima kasnije, čovjek tu 

više ne živi, no ostavio je svoje tragove koje mi još i danas 

promatramo. Zatim, povratak...

Adventure 

Into the Heart of Velebit 

by Jeep 

In order to experience Velebit there is no need for long hours walking and exhausting 

climbing. To feel it there is no need for giving up comfort and safety you used to. You 

can travel across Velebit by jeep 

Written by: Karla Kovaè 

Most often Velebit is called – the Magnificent. 

Namely, to all real adventurers the mountain 

Velebit has been always one of the dearest 

challenges. The longest mountain range in 

Croatia consists of 145 kilometres of Karst, snow and ice. 

The entire mountain has a status of Natural Park, but the 

north Velebit and Paklenica are announced to be national 

parks. Huge massif is stretching in mild bend from 

the north-west to the south-east, between mountain 

passage Vratnik and the river Zrmanja valley, while on 

the west it touches Velebit Channel of the Adriatic Sea. 

Maybe, the highest Velebit summit Vaganski Vrh of 1,757 

metres does not seem to the global mountain climbers 

something great, but real experts in mountain conditions 

will benevolently advise anyone who wants to explore 

Velebit to leave at home the only thing they really do 

not need – their prejudice. 

Because, whenever one underestimates the power of 

that Croatian mountain precious stone, he will face, at 

least, some bad experiences. Although it is not the highest 

in Croatia, Velebit is almost essentially marked with 

word unpredictability, especially during winter months 

45

when whipped with strong bura and shackled by cold 

drifts. Therefore, Velebit bare regions were explored only 

by those of courageous spirit and strong body, tough as 

nails to unpredictable impacts of wilderness. 

But still, throughout the autumn, Velebit shows its gentle 

face. The stone bare mountain scorched at the summer 

heat, now is tenderly touched by sunshine. Forests 

of beech-trees still give a shelter in their shade, and the 

whole nature is calming down. In order to experience 

Velebit there is no need for long hours walking and exhausting 

climbing. To feel it there is no need for giving up 

comfort and safety you used to. You can travel across 

Velebit by jeep. 

Everything starts at the bottom of the mountain in the village 

Rizvanuša, ten kilometres away from Gospić. Some 

tens of jeeps are waiting in the Rizvan city, a centre for 

adventurers and tourists, which Goran Šupe revitalised 

few years ago. 

Hosts of that renovated rural economy greets their 

guests with plum brandy and home produced cheese 

46 

– škripavac. A sent of earth is mixed with brandy aroma 

and briskness of mountain air. Than you should get into 

the terrain vehicle and for next five hours submit yourself 

to the guide. 

The journey that takes the route Dabarski kukovi (Beaver’s 

Hips, op. tr.) 60 kilometres long, will start at the 

section which leads to Baške Oštarije. After the passing 

through a tunnel, there is the first of many panoramas 

that will spread out in front of us during the journey – island 

Pag and Velebit Channel. Bare island cliffs and turquoise 

of the sea connected to the sky, barely different 

in a shade of colour. 

But, the journey has just started and we are going further 

to the village Ledenik. While constantly viewing Pag, we 

are arriving to Dabarska kosa and the earth road where 

the scenery changes – the view of valley Ravni Dabar 

(Dabar stands for a beaver, op.tr.) and a mountaineers’ 

lodging now unfolds to us. 

Being outside the marked mountain routes the area Dabarski 

kukovi have not been spotted by mountaineers

till recently; the same was true for its name. 

Viewing from afar, Dabarski kukovi look like 

scattered, isolated mountain massif not very 

different from others. 

But, more precise look will discover a mountain 

range of Karst valleys with cultivated 

soil, among which the most striking are: Crni 

Dabar, Ravni Dabar and Došen Dabar. After 

passing through a tunnel, constructed by the 

bare hands of workers during the reign of Austria-Hungary 

Empire, we are crossing Došen 

Dabar, Došen dulibe and Bačić dulibe, areas 

once inhabited and cultivated. 

Than, after all, we are getting to the spot 

from which we can view entire Dabarski kukovi, 

the most interesting part of the middle 

Velebit. It is not possible to pass Dabarski 

kukovi by their ridge because of their scattering. 

Some parts are possible to see from 

the route located in the valley that connects 

them, and if take a road by car the access is 

significantly shorten. 

Dabarski kukovi are not too high, but for 

climbers they provide enough challenges. We 

stop and view the new sight. A sight available 

to minority now is opened in front of us. Little 

stone caps surrounded with green fir-trees 

wreath at the bottom, covered with bluish 

haze of the sky and crispness – nothing more 

is needed at this moment. Some try to capture 

the moment by shooting photos knowing 

deep inside that no photo could transfer the 

real experience to the remote viewer. 

Although it looks like eternal, the moment of 

admiration passed away and we are driving 

on to discover new faces of the nature. If 

you did not take warm clothes with you, you 

made a mistake. The road takes us further to 

the snow pit where snow stays throughout the 

year. The Karst structure of Velebit is paradise 

for potholers that now and then discover 

new pit or cave all over the area. So, Velebit 

is proud of the longest pit in Croatia located 

on its northern part, called Lukina jama, 1,400 

metres deep, which participates on the list of 

the deepest pits in the world. Now we are getting 

to the mountaineers’ lodging where we 

are going to leave our jeeps and go on foot 

to the spring Težakovac, one of rare springs 

on the heights of Velebit. 

The road leads us further to the old abandoned 

village Škorpovac and remains of cottages 

where highlanders used to live. Stony 

ruins speak about hardships of life in the heart 

of the mountain. They celebrate endurance 

and strong will, a man living so close to the 

nature, who like a child dependant on mother’s 

caprice looks for a shelter in the arms of 

mountain and a hidden place among its cliffs. 

Decades and decades later, man is gone, 

but left his trails here in front of our eyes. Than, 

return... 

Dok traje jesen, Velebit pokazuje svoje umiljato lice / Throughout

Restoran Sv. Nikola uvršten je u ovogodišnje izdanje prestižnog vodiča 

Gaulet / This very year Sv. Nikola received recognition by entering this 

year edition of prestige guidebook Gaulet 

Usta puna hedonizma 

Restoran Sv. Nikola skladan je spoj ugodnog ambijenta i vrhunske hrane. O svakom 

detalju u restoranu posebno se vodilo računa. Od stolica, slika, boja zidova... 

sve je uređeno tako da se gost što više može opustiti 

Piše: Ira Kneževiæ 

Restoran Sv. Nikola u prekrasnom istarskom gradiću 

Poreču svojim se izgledom potpuno uklopio u 

slikovitost mjesta. 

Samo dva metra od mora, nasuprot otočića Sv. 

Nikola, po kojem je restoran i dobio ime, voditelj Roman 

Glogovšek stvorio je luksuzno uređeno mjesto gdje se, 

osim u ambijentu, odlično jede, ali i pije. 

Kuća u kojoj se danas nalazi restoran bila je ruševna, 

kaže Roman Glogovšek, tako da ju je bilo potrebno 

kompletno preurediti i prilagoditi onome što je restoranom 

želio postići. Grad Poreč izišao je mladom ugostitelju 

u susret i dao prostor u najam, a on im se odužio 

preuredivši zgradu, koja je bila u vrlo lošem stanju, u prekrasnu 

građevinu. 

Luksuzno uređen restoran otvoren je 2004. godine i sada 

se može reći da je Sv. Nikola ponajprije ugodan restoran, 

smiren ambijent u kojem se čovjek može zabaviti, 

48 

Vlasnik Roman Glogovšek s ocem / The owner Roman

Stolice, slike, boja zidova... sve je uređeno tako da se 

što više možete opustiti / Chairs, paintings, paint on walls 

- everything aimed for a guest to feel relaxed 

opustiti i prepustiti uživanju u prekrasnom pogledu i isto 

tako savršenoj hrani. 

O svakom detalju u restoranu posebno se vodilo računa. 

Od stolica, slika, boja zidova... sve je uređeno tako 

da se što više možete opustiti. 

Iako vrlo mlad – ima samo 24 godine – vlasnik restorana 

Sv. Nikola Roman Glogovšek kaže kako je imao točnu viziju 

kakav restoran želi. – Ne volim puno govoriti o kuhinji 

i restoranu, uređenju, vođenju, više volim da moja jela 

sama govore za sebe – napominje nam Roman odmah 

na početku razgovora. 

Lokacija tik uz more ono je što svakoj zgradi daje posebnu 

draž, a kada se i uredi u mediteranskom stilu, nema 

osobe koja se ne zaustavi i divi. U interijeru se odlično 

uklopio i moderni dizajn, no uz atraktivan ambijent, hrana 

je ono zbog čega je ovaj restoran postao omiljeno 

odredište gurmana. 

Osim na uređenje eksterijera i interijera, poseban trud 

i ljubav uloženi su u stvaranje jela. Ponuda se većinom 

sastoji od ribe i domaćih, dobro poznatih, istarskih sastojaka. 

Od mesa možete naći samo ono najbolje – biftek, 

no i on je, kao i sve u Sv. Nikoli, specifičan. Priprema se 

na nekoliko načina, uz tartufe, pinjole, pa tako ima poseban 

okus. Uz kvalitetno jelo, tu je naravno i kvalitetno 

vino. Posebna briga vodi se o ponudi vina, a malo koji 

restoran može se pohvaliti onime što Sv. Nikola ima. Dva 

sommeliera (Roman Glogovšek i Nevio Pletikos) brinu se 

o kvalitetnoj ponudi vinske karte, koja je bogata vrhunskim 

istarskim vinima. 

49

No, kako je ambijent prilagođen okolini, tako se i u restoranu 

prilagođavaju svojim gostima. Osim karte, gostima 

je na raspolaganju cijeli niz novih jela koja se svakodnevno 

pripremaju ovisno o raspoloženju tima u Sv. Nikoli. 

Cijeli tim ljudi u Sv. Nikoli stručan je u svom poslu. Zanimljivo 

je da su svi mladi, domaći ljudi, iz Poreča, jedino 

je sommelier Nevio Pletikos iz Pule. O njihovoj stručnosti 

i umijeću pripremanja hrane govori podatak da su 

upravo njihove specijalitete jeli predsjednici 14 zemalja 

Europske unije kada su posjetili Hrvatsku. 

Zbog svoje vrhunske kuhinje i posluge, restoran je višestruko 

nagrađivan. Još jedno veliko priznanje restoran 

Sv. Nikola primio je ove godine. Uvršten je u ovogodišnje 

izdanje prestižnog vodiča Gaulet. 

Roman Glogovšek kaže kako njegovi stalni gosti uvijek 

imaju prigodu kušati nešto novo. Pripremanje jela nije 

samo kuhanje. Ono ovisi i o procjeni raspoloženja gostiju, 

prezentacije jela, ukusa... Svaki put kada gost dođe 

u Sv. Nikolu, iznenadi se nečim novim, kreativnim jer se 

žele predstaviti uvijek u drukčijem svjetlu. 

Iako su gosti i Hrvati, zbog specifičnog položaja restorana 

(odmah pokraj gata za pristanak megajahti u Poreču), 

u ambijentu vrijednom pažnje ponajviše uživaju 

Austrijanci i Talijani. S nautičarima su, kažu, već ostvarili 

pomalo obiteljski odnos. Kako su zapravo susjedi, velikom 

broju jahtaša koji su stalni gosti doručak se servira i 

na njihovoj jahti. 

Restoran Sv. Nikola skladan je spoj arhitekture i hrane. 

To se dvoje odlično nadopunjuje, jer vjerojatno ni hrana 

ne bi bila toliko ukusna da nije i do zadnjeg detalja 

osmišljen interijer, ali ne bi ni interijer restorana bio toliko 

privlačan da nije ispunjen mirisima istarskih specijaliteta. 

Vjerujemo da će se ova simbioza i dalje nastaviti na ovaj 

način nadopunjavati...

Roman Glogovšek zasigurno je 

jedan od najmlađih ugostitelja. 

Restoran je otvorio sa samo 21 

godinom. No, iskustva mu ne nedostaje. 

Odrastao je u obitelji koja 

se ugostiteljstvom bavi 45 godina. 

On je, kaže, kao dječak još počeo 

raditi u restoranu koji su vodili roditelji. 

– Prošao sam sve, od kuhinje, 

šanka, konobara, posluživanja. 

Nakon fakulteta, želio sam se 

odvojiti od roditelja i stvoriti nešto 

drukčije. I tako je krenula priča 

sa Sv. Nikolom. Uz puno truda i, 

naravno, novca, stvorio se ugodan 

ambijent u koji se svi vraćaju s veseljem 

i iščekivanjem novih jela.

A Mouth Full of Hedonism 

The restaurant Sveti Nikola (St. Nicholas) is harmonious mixture of pleasant ambient and the 

prime food. A special attention has been paid to every detail. Chairs, paintings, paint on walls 

- everything aimed for a guest to feel relaxed 

Written by: Ira Kneževiæ 

The restaurant Sveti Nikola (St. Nicholas) is located 

in the beautiful Istrian little town Poreč and its appearance 

entirely conforms to the picturesqueness 

of the place. Only two metres from the sea, opposite 

to the little island Sveti Nikola, it was named after, his 

manager Roman Glogovšek created luxuriously decorated 

place where, besides excellent ambient, one can 

get not only excellent food but drink, too. 

As Roman Glogovšek said, the building that houses the 

restaurant today was once a ruin, so it needed renovation 

and adaptation according the vision he had had for 

his restaurant. The town Poreč gave the young caterer an 

opportunity and leased him the facility, which he in return 

renovated making from the ruin a wonderful edifice. 

The opening was in 2004 and now Sveti Nikola is a pleasant 

restaurant with calm atmosphere in which one 

can find enjoyment, relaxation, wonderful view and, of 

course, an excellent food. A special attention has been 

paid to every detail. Chairs, paintings, paint on walls - 

everything aimed for a guest to feel relaxed. 

Although very young – 24 years of age – the owner 

of the restaurant Sveti Nikola, Roman Glogovšek says 

that he had a precise vision what kind of restaurant he 

wanted. “I don’t like to speak about my kitchen and the 

restaurant, renovation and management, I prefer my 

meals speak on my behalf”, he said at the beginning of 

our conversation. 

The location close to the sea would give any building 

a particular charm, and when one is decorated 

in the Mediterranean style there is not a single person 

who would not stop and admire. Modern design is well 

adapted to the interior, but the food is the main reason 

why this restaurant became a favourite destination of 

food connoisseurs. 

Besides renovation and interior design, the special effort 

and love were invested into the creation of meals. The

and food 

offer consists mainly of fish and domestic, well known Istrian 

ingredients. Here, you can have only the best meat – 

beefsteak, which is very special, prepared in several ways 

- with truffles, pine-nuts - having thus its specific taste. 

A quality food is always accompanied by a quality wine. 

A special attention is paid to the wine card and there 

are no many restaurants that will offer what Sveti Nikola 

has. Two sommeliers (Roman Glogovšek and Nevio Pletikos) 

care about quality offer of wines, which abounds 

in the prime Istrian wines. 

But, as well the atmosphere is conformed to the surroundings, 

so the restaurant corresponds to its guests. 

Except the wine card, guests will find a whole line of new 

meals, which are cooked depending on how the team 

of Sveti Nikola feels. 

All team members of Sveti Nikola are experts in their job, 

which is proved by the fact that their specialties were 

served for 14 presidents of European Union while visited 

Croatia. It is interesting that all of them are young and from 

Poreč except Nevio Pletikos, who is coming from Pula. 

The restaurant was awarded in several occasions due 

to its top quality kitchen and service and this very year 

52 

it received recognition by entering this year edition of 

prestige guidebook Gaulet. 

Roman Glogovšek says that his guests always have a 

chance to taste something new. Preparation of food is 

not merely cooking. It depends on estimation about their 

guests’ feelings, meal decoration, taste etc. Every time 

when a guest enters Sveti Nikola, he will be surprised by 

something new, creative, because they, in Sveti Nikola, 

always want to be seen in a new light. 

Although among guests one may find Croatians too, 

mostly Austrians and Italians enjoy the ambient because 

the restaurant is close to the marine (near the pier for 

mega-yachts). They have almost a family relation with 

nautical experts. As they are neighbours many times 

breakfast is served on yachts. 

The restaurant Sveti Nikola is harmonious mixture of architecture 

and food. These two complement well to 

each other; perhaps food would not be so tasteful if 

the interior were not so perfect, and the interior would 

not be so appealing if were not filled with an aroma of 

Istrian specialties. We believe that this symbiosis will continue 

in this way...

O svakom detalju u restoranu posebno se vodilo računa / A special 

attention has been paid to every detail 

FISH MENU: 


Carpaccio “Mare Nostrum” 

Scampi Velentata 

Lobster “Mandrač” 

Fish File with asparagus and black truffles 

Chocolatte mousse “Passione fondente” 

MEAT MENU: 


Meat carpaccio with truffle, parmigiano, cheese and wild ricola 

Soup “Motovunska šuma” 

Tagliattele with truffles 

Beefsteak “Decumanus” 

Semifreddo 

Roman Glogovšek surely is one of the 

youngest caterers. He opened the restaurant 

at the age of 21. But he is not 

lacking in experience. He grew up in 

family that has been in catering almost 

for 45 years. He, as he says, started 

to work in the restaurant owned by 

his parents. “I worked everything – in 

the kitchen, as a bartender, a waiter, 

service. After graduation the Faculty, I 

wanted to separate from my parents 

and create something different. This is 

how the story with Sveti Nikola begun. 

Lot of efforts, as well as money, of course, 

was necessary for this pleasant 

ambient to come forth, to which all are 

coming back with joy and expectancies 

of new meals.

Sjećate li se filma “Sirove strasti” otprije petnaestak godina 

i ONE scene koja je izlizala “pause” gumbe na daljinskim 

upravljačima nebrojenih videorekordera? U novom nastavku 

toga slavnog filma, uz uobičajene čari Sharon Stone, 

ovisnici o arhitekturi će uživati u Fosterovu neboderu Swiss Re 

u Londonu, a ljubitelji automobila će drhtati od užitka gledajući 

Spyker C8 Laviolette u akciji. 

Ime Spyker zauzima poštovano mjesto u automobilskoj 

povijesti – nizozemska tvrtka osnovana u 19. stoljeću 

svijetu automobila je podarila pogon na sva četiri 

kotača, šesterocilindrični motor te kočnice na 

svim kotačima. 

Premda Spyker kakav danas poznajemo s 

izvornom tvrtkom, ugašenom 1929., dijeli 

samo ime, skupocjeni, ručno rađeni modeli 

koje proizvodi predmet su obožavanja ljubitelja 

automobilske perfekcije. 

Za početak, ovo je jedan od rijetkih superekskluzivnih 

automobila koji pokreće 

“plebejski” aluminijski 4,2-litreni Audijev 

V8 motor. No, to je mudar izbor – osim što je 

kompaktnih dimenzija, s tehnologijom pet ventila 

po cilindru, to je vrlo sofisticiran motor velike 

specifične snage, a velikoserijska proizvodnja jamči

njegovu pouzdanost. Naravno, 450 KS koje razvija i više 

je nego dovoljno snage za automobil veličine i težine 

omanjega gradskog kompakta. 

Već na prvi pogled, jasno je da se Spyker C8 Laviolette 

potpuno razlikuje od ostatka ekskluzivnog društva. Dugačak 

prednji i kratak stražnji prevjes poznat su recept 

postizanja agresivnosti. Međutim, markantno oblikovanje 

elipsoidnih bočnih usisa motora i vrlo neobično rješenje 

sažimanja vrlo fluidnih linija cijelog automobila u 

gotovo jednoj točki na profiliranom potpuno staklenom 

krovu, koji unutrašnjost kabine i prostor motora potpuno 

izlaže pogledima, pokazuju jedan sasvim nov pristup 

oblikovanju supersportskog automobila s centralno 

smještenim motorom. Stražnji difuzor podnice automobila, 

dizajnirane da stvara podtlak i poboljša prianjanje pri 

višim brzinama, usijeca se u kratak, zaobljen stražnji kraj 

omotan oko 19-colnih kotača. 

Svaki detalj na Spykeru ima svoj smisao, povijest nastanka 

i posvećeno mu je beskrajno mnogo vremena. Svi 

vitalni dijelovi automobila, uključujući cijevi prostornog 

okvira i kompletan ovjes, izvedeni su od aluminija, uz 

obilnu upotrebu CNC glodalica. Ispušne cijevi na svojim 

obodima nose Spykerovo ime i njegov moto: NULLA 

TENACI INVIA EST VIA (Upornome ni jedan put nije neprohodan). 

Bočni retrovizori izrađeni su od aluminijskih 

cijevi, posebno prešanih i rezanih da se dobije njihov 

jedinstveni oblik. Vrata kabine otvaraju se prema gore 

kao na Lamborghiniju, međutim oslonjena su samo na 

jednu točku. Čak i prorezi na prednjem i stražnjem kraju 

imaju funkciju hlađenja motora i kočnica. 

No Spykerova opsjednutost detaljima i perfekcijom izrade 

doseže uznemirujuće razmjere tek pogledom u unutrašnjost 

automobila. 

Interijer je optočen najfinijim materijalima. Elipsoidni oblici 

detalja od pjeskarenog i poliranog aluminija smjenjuju se s 

kožom Connolly kojom je presvučen najveći dio interijera. 

Trkaći profilirana sjedala s pojasevima na četiri točke, u 

spoju s fantastičnim detaljima, poput akcijskih i reakcijskih 

poluga mjenjača potpuno izloženih pogledu, ili iznimno 

zanimljivog oblikovanja upravljača, daju potpuno ostakljenom 

kokpitu vrlo posebnu atmosferu. Ispod prednjeg 

i stražnjeg poklopca kočopere se, posebno za Spyker 

izrađeni Konijevi amortizeri, konstruirani po uzoru na one 

u F1. Trkaći AP sustav za kočenje sa šest kliješta brine se 

za brutalna zaustavljanja. Drive-by-wire tehnologija omogućava 

podešavanje snage motora ovisno o vozačevim 

sposobnostima, a sigurnosna kartica je potpuno eliminirala 

potrebu za klasičnim ključem jer se elektronički sustav 

automobila aktivira čim se vozač približi na tri metra. Kao 

kruna stremljenja k perfekciji, prtljaga posebno izrađena 

da pristaje u prtljažni prostor nosi potpis Louis Vuittona. 

Dinamička svojstva ovoga tehnološkog i estetskog dragulja 

i više nego ispunjavaju očekivanja. Moćan motor 

omogućava maksimalnu brzinu od 306 km/h uz ubrzanje 

od 4,2 sekunde od 0 do 100. Možda i nije najbrži superautomobil, 

ali Spykerov cilj nije sumanuta potjera za 

maksimalnom brzinom, to je automobil koji je napravljen 

sa svrhom da bude apsolutno savršen u svakom detalju. 

Unatoč velikom krugu okretanja, u vožnji je Spyker vrlo 

izravan i okretan automobil koji je u stanju proizvesti goleme 

količine gromoglasne buke zahvaljujući kratkom 

sportskom ispušnom sustavu, te se ravnopravno nositi s 

gotovo svim suparnicima u klasi. 

Bočni retrovizori izrađeni su od aluminijskih cijevi, posebno 

prešanih i rezanih da se dobije njihov jedinstveni oblik / 

The side mirrors are made of alluminum pipes, specially

On Spyker, every detail has its purpose, its genesis and 

an immense ammount of time spent on creating it 

Ovako radikalno drukčiji primjerak automobilske egzotike 

svakako ima svoju publiku kojoj četvrt milijuna eura, 

koliko stoji osnovni model, ne bi smjelo biti nikakva prepreka. 

Samozatajnost Spykera kao marke je pritom bogatim 

kolekcionarima samo dodatni razlog za kupnju. 

Prigodom narudžbe automobila, Spyker otvara personaliziranu 

web-stranicu na koju samo kupac ima pristup 

i na kojoj može pratiti apsolutno svaku radnju u procesu 

izgradnje njegova primjerka. Mogućnosti individualizacije 

su neograničene. Prelijep, rijedak i filigranski izrađen, 

Spyker C8 Laviolette je automobil koji pojmu savršenstva 

izrade daje sasvim novo značenje, i naspram kojeg Ferrariji, 

Porschei i Lamborghiniji izgledaju nekako “običnije” 

nego inače.

A Hidden Jewel 

Beautiful, rare and meticulously built, Spyker C8 Laviolette is a car that gives a whole 

new meaning to the definition of build perfection, a car that makes Ferraris, Porsches 

And Lamborghinis look a bit more “ordinary” than usual 

Written by: Ivan Mladina 

Do you remember the movie “Basic Instinct” from 

about fifteen years ago, and THAT scene that 

wore out PAUSE buttons on remote controllers 

of countless VCR’s? In that movie’s latest sequel, 

along with with the usual thrills from Sharon Stone, 

architecture junkies will enjoy Norman Foster’s Swiss Re 

skyskraper in London and car enthusiasts will fall into seizures 

watching the Spyker C8 Laviolette on a rampage. 

Spyker is a very respectable name in automotive history 

- founded in nineteenth century it blessed the world with 

inventions such as the four-wheel drive, six-cylinder engine, 

or the brakes on all wheels. Although Spyker we 

know today only bears the name of the famous company 

of yore, its expensive, hand-built models are worshiped 

among the lovers of automotive perfection. 

To start with, this is one of only a few supercars motivated 

by a “plebeian” engine - an all-alluminum 4,2 litre Audi 

56 

V8. It is a wise choice, though - it is of compact dimensions, 

utilizing serious high technology like 5 valves per 

cylinder it has a very high specific power output, and 

since it is produced in large series, its reliability is guaranteed. 

Of course, those 450 HP it churns out are more 

than enough power for a car the size of a compact. 

Even at first glance, you can tell that the Spyker C8 Laviolette 

differs from the rest of the supercar world. Long 

front and short rear overhang are a well-known recipe 

for achieveing an aggressive profile. Still, the distinct 

shape of lateral air intakes and a very unusual solution 

of compressing very fluid lines of the car in a single spot 

on top of the bulbous all-glass roof exposing the interior 

and the engine bay, show a completely new approach 

to sculpting mid-engined sportscars. The car’s underside, 

designed to create underpressure at high speeds 

thus increasing traction, ends with an air diffusor that

Prtljaga posebno izrađena da pristaje u prtljažni prostor 

nosi potpis Louis Vuittona / Set of Louis Vuitton luggage, 

custom-made to fit in the storage spaces 

sharply slices into a short rear end wrapped around the 

19-inch wheels. 

On Spyker, every detail has its purpose, its genesis and 

an immense ammount of time spent on creating it. All vital 

parts of the car including the space frame and complete 

suspension are made of alluminum, with abundant 

use of CNC cutting machines. The exhaust pipes bear 

the Spykers slogan: NULLA TENACI INVIA EST VIA (No 

road is impassable for the tenacious). The side mirrors 

are made of alluminum pipes, specially bent and sliced 

to achieve their distinct shape, and the doors open upwards 

like on a Lamborghini, but they rest upon only one 

hinge. Even the slots on the front and rear end have a 

function of helping cool the engine and the brakes. 

But it is only after seeing the interior of the C8 Laviolette 

that Spyker’s obsession with perfection really gains disturbing 

proportions. 

The interior is saturated with only finest of materials. Elliptical 

shapes of polished and sand-blasted alluminum 

details merge with Connolly leather that clads most of 

the interior. Sport profiled seats bear four-point seatbelts, 

and combined with fantastic details like exposed action 

and reaction rods of the gearshift or the interesting 

steering wheel design, make the full-glass cockpit a very 

special place. 

Hidden underneath the front and rear lid, suspension system 

boasts Koni F1 push-rod shock absorber units, custom 

built for Spyker. Racing AP six-caliper brakes take 

care of brutal braking power. Drive-by-wire technology 

enables manipulating the engine output depending on 

the skill of the driver, and the security card completely 

eliminates the need for a key since it activates the 

electric systems of the car in radius of three metres. As 

a crown to this quest for perfection comes the set of 

Louis Vuitton luggage, custom-made to fit in the storage 

spaces of the C8 Laviolette. 

Dynamic properties of this technological and aesthetical 

jewel are more than fulfilling. Mighty engine enables 

the top speed of 306 km/h with accelerations of 4,2 

seconds to 100 km/h. It might not be the fastest supercar, 

but Spyker’s goal is not the maniacal chase for top 

speed, rather it is a car built to absolute perfection in 

every detail. Despite the large turning circle, the C8 Laviolette 

is a very direct and agile car, deafeningly loud 

thanks to its short sport exhaust system, and well capable 

of taking on most of the opponents in its class. 

Such a radical specimen of automotive exotics certainly 

has its audience that doesn’t mind the price tag of 

quarter of a million euros - for the base model, that is. 

Spyker’s image of the low profile brand is just seen by 

the rich collectors as one more reason for buying it. 

When an order is placed for a car, Spyker opens a personalized 

web-page that only the buyer has access to 

and where he can monitor absolutely every step of the 

building process of his car. The possibilities of inividualizing 

a car are limitless. 

Beautiful, rare and meticulously built, Spyker C8 Laviolette 

is a car that gives a whole new meaning to the 

definition of build perfection, a car that makes Ferraris, 

Porsches And Lamborghinis look a bit more “ordinary” 

than usual.

Fine stvari 

Nokijina klasa za sebe 

Sa svakom svojom serijom, Nokia po pravilu 

mora izbaciti i jedan vrhunski poslovni mobilni 

telefon koji poslovnim partnerima govori o 

vašem stilu, eleganciji, ali i debljini novčanika. 

Nova Nokijina 8800 napravica pripada upravo 

toj kategoriji: kućište od inoksa, ergonomski 

oblik koji priziva otisak prsta, display od stakla 

otpornog na grebanje s 262.000 boja, kamera 

od 2 megapiksela i tonovi koje je za mobitel skladao 

veliki Brian Eno, neki su od featuresa koji će vas 

otpuhati kao “Scirocco” - a upravo tako u slavnom 

finskom gradiću zovu svoju novu uzdanicu. 

Furlina manipulacija 

Da se ove sezone nosi imitacija skupih 

krokodilskih koža, znaju već i 

modno osviješteni vrapci na 

granama bližim luksuznim 

dućanima. Ali da će Furla 

tako vješto manipulirati 

ženskim osjećajima i, 

bez imalo grižnje savjesti, 

učiniti svoju ovosezonsku 

“must have” torbicu tako 

nježnom, seksi, profinjenom 

i rockerskom istodobno, 

mogli su prognozirati 

samo najveći optimisti. 

Furlina “damica” zove se 

Yolande, dolazi u nekoliko 

neodoljivih boja, i nosiva je 

na traperice, sivo poslovno odijelo, balon suknju... 

Na sve. I ostavlja dojam. Na svakoga. 

58 

Dijamanti - zauvijek 

I među nezamislivo bogatima ima pravih 

“couch potatoes” (doduše, oni koji puno 

vremena provode pred TV ekranima vjerojatno 

su imetak naslijedili). No, za tu ekskluzivnu 

manjinu pobrinula se talijanska tvrtka 

Keymat Industrie, optočivši naizgled obični 

novovjeki televizor – 20-karatnim dijamantima. 

Sto tisuća eura svakako nije prevelika 

cijena ako želite da vas s ekrana “Diamonda” 

(tako se, naime, zove ovaj dragulj) 

povremeno zasljepljuje lom svjetlosti s 

nepoznatog broja ugrađenih skupocjenih 

kamenčića. 

Nokia, 

a Class by Itself 

With each new line, Nokia confirms 

its habit to launch one top business 

mobile phone, which would to your 

business partners speak about your 

style, elegance and, of course, a depth 

of your vallet. Nokia’s new 8800 little machine 

belongs right to the class: a body 

of inox, ergonomical shape which call for 

a finger push, scratch-resistant glass window 

for the screen with 262 000 colours, camera 

of two megapixels and tones composed by 

great Brian Eno, are only some of the features 

that will blow you away as “Scirocco” – just as they, in 

famous little Finland town, call their new chief support. 

Furla’s Manipulation 

That this winter an imitation of expensive aligator’s 

skin is IN, it’s well established fact for 

all fashion birds flying around luxury shops. 

But that Furla will so skilfully manipulate 

with woman’s feelings and without 

any remorse make this season 

must- have-purse so tender, sexi, 

sophisticated and at the same 

time so rocky, could be foreseen 

only by greatest optimists. 

Furla’s little lady is called 

Yolande and is made in several 

irresistible colours. It could be 

wore with jeans, grey business 

suit, baloon skirt... With almost 

everything. And it makes an 

impression. On everybody. 

Diamonds are Forever 

And even among unthinkable rich there are real 

“couch potatoes” (although, those who spend 

lot of time in front of TV sets probably inherited 

their wealth). But, still, the Italian 

firm Keymat Industrie took care 

of this exclusive minority, by 

trimming a seemingly ordinary 

TV set with 20-carat 

diamonds. The price of one 

hundred thousand euros 

is not too high if you want 

to be, from time to time, 

dazzled from the screen by 

the fraction of light coming 

from unknown number of 

implanted precious small 

stones.

Za momke sa stilom 

Jednostavno i profinjeno, na to smo naviknuli od Porsche 

Designa. Ovaj ekskluzivni privjesak za ključeve 

njemačkog proizvođača sportskih automobila 

u potpunosti odražava Porscheovu filozofiju 

na tako malenom “asesoaru” da ga 

je teško ne primijetiti. Pa, iako na 

privjesku neće visjeti i pripadajući 

ključ “zvijeri” od nekoliko 

stotina konjskih snaga, 

od malih radosti ne 

valja odustajati. 

Formula na 

dva kotaèa 

Ova je igračka jedino 

za ozbiljne fanove 

vožnje na dva kotača. 

U suradnji prestižne automobilske 

tvrtke Spyker 

i proizvođača najkvalitetnijih 

bicikala Koga, 

rodio se Aeroblade, 

titanski skupocjeni bicikl 

koji će se proizvesti u 

samo 50 primjeraka. 

Svojom cijenom od 

10.000 eura, Aeroblade 

se prirodno “snašao” 

u okruženju sajma 

milijunaša u Amsterdamu, 

gdje je prvi put predstavljen. No, cijenu itekako 

prati i kvaliteta, ali i dizajn tipičan za Spykerova 

high-tech sportska vozila. Ovaj osobiti bicikl ručno je 

rađen, teži samo 12 kilograma, dijelovi su aluminijski, 

a blatobrani su oblikovani poput avionskog krila. 

Vicini glavu èuva 

Iako je ne potpisuje osobno slavni Giuseppe 

Zanotti, najpoznatiji dizajner kuće “Vicini”, ovu 

ultimativnu čizmu za dugu zimu morate imati. Pod 

markom “Vicini” krije se vojska fanatičnih sljedbenica 

šika, mnogih od njih s hollywoodske “A” liste, 

pa ako želite hodati koraka sigurnog poput Heidi 

Klum ili mačkastog kao Charlize Theron, krenite 

u nabavu “Vicinijeva” para ljepotica. “Glamur 

s daškom ironije” – tako kreatori nove kolekcije 

tepaju “Vicinijevoj” zimskoj sezoni, a mi se ne 

možemo ne složiti. Bez ironije. 

Luxuries 

For Guys with Style 

Out of Porche Design we used to get 

simple and sophisticated. This exclusive 

key appendage for German sport cars producer 

completely reflects Porche’s philosophy 

on so small “accessory” that it is hard not to notice it. 

Although, on the appendage there will be no key of the 

“beast” of several hundred horsepower, still, do not quit 

from small joy. 

A Two Wheels Formula 

This toy is exclusively designed for serious fans of cycling. 

The Aeroblade was born out of the cooperation of the 

Spyker, an automobile company, with a producer of the 

best quality bicycles; a titanic 

expensive bicycle, which 

will be produced in limited 

edition series of 50 bikes 

only. The Aeroblade with its 

price of 10,000 euros “behaved” 

naturally on the fair 

of millionaires in Amsterdam, 

where it was introduced for 

the first time. But, of course, 

the quality accompanies 

the price together with an 

overall design typical for 

Spyker’s high tech sport cars. 

This special bicycle is handmade, 

weighing only 12 

kilograms, parts made of aluminum 

with fenders shaped 

like plane wings. 

Vicini Saves the Head 

Although this ultimate booth is not 

signed by the famous Giuseppe Zanotti, 

well known designer of the “Vicini” 

house, you have to have it for this long 

incoming winter. An army of fanatic followers 

of chicque are hidden behind the 

Vicini brand, many of them participant of 

Holywood’s A class list. So if you want to 

walk firmly as Heidi Klum or cat-like softly as 

Charlize Theron, then be set out for shopping 

and buy that Vicini’s pair of beauties. 

“Glamour with a breath of irony” – this is 

how designers of new collection bable to 

the new Vicini’s winter season. Of course 

we agree but - no irony.

Postirske kogule izmeðu 

otkriæa i nadahnuæa 

Fotografija Marina Šantića slijedi stari recept po kojemu se umjetnost javlja ondje 

gdje se neki naizgled obični predmet, svima poznat i uobičajen, uzme u razmatranje 

i pokaže u nekom drugom svjetlu 

Kogule kao građevne jedinice su kameni obluci 

koji su se vadili s morskih žala i dna, a možemo 

ih vidjeti u mnogim dalmatinskim mjestima, posebice 

na otocima. U nedostatku sofisticiranije 

metode i materijala, tehnika popločavanja kogulama 

zasnivala se na nevezivnim materijalima. Kogule su se 

slagale na vlažnu zemlju pomiješanu s pijeskom, pri 

čemu su tvorile raznovrsne mozaike. Prva svjedočanstva 

o postirskim kogulama datiraju još u 1875. godinu, kada 

je car Franjo Josip I. došao u Dalmaciju kako bi prvi put 

obišao tu svoju pokrajinu. Dana 23. travnja te godine 

svojim brodom “Miramar” posjećuje otok Brač, pa tako i 

mjesto Postira. Mještanima je vjerojatno bilo nelagodno 

jer je put od rive do crkve dotad bio zemljani, a oni nisu 

znali za veći luksuz. Kako bi odali što veću počast caru 

te upriličili razgledavanje dostojno Njegova veličanstva, 

zemljani put su popločali kogulama. Upravo su postirske 

kogule danas najočuvanije na otoku Braču, a da tako 

ostane, brine se i mladi fotograf Marin Šantić. Na izložbi 

u hotelu “Pastura” od 24. kolovoza do 3. rujna 2006. 

tako smo mogli vidjeti njegov ciklus “Postirske kogule”, 

koji govori upravo o postojanosti kogula, ali ujedno upozorava 

i na problem njihova očuvanja. Fotograf koji je, 

kako sam kaže, odustao od studiranja na ekonomskom 

fakultetu zbog želje za radom u umjetnosti, već je 1999. 

bio zamijećen na natječaju “Kulturna i prirodna baština 

na fotografiji” u organizaciji Hrvatskog filmskog saveza. 

U tom kontekstu valja razumjeti i njegovo bavljene 

postirskim kogulama koje ne shvaća samo kao plodan 

umjetnički objekt nego i kao predmet kako kulturne 

tako i prirodne baštine, koji po svaku cijenu valja očuvati. 

Šantić je od 2005. i aktivni član Fotokluba “Split“. 

Trenutačno pohađa program instituta Callegari za stilista 

interijera u Splitu, a, među ostalim, bavi se i grafičkim 

dizajnom, čemu svjedoči i atraktivna web-stranica na 

kojoj se mogu vidjeti postirske kogule. Crno-bijele fotografije 

kogula dobar su odabir i one odaju težnju za dokumentarizmom, 

te ujedno jednom naizgled običnom 

i svakodnevnom predmetu (barem u bračkoj sredini, 

ali možda i turistima naviknutima da prije gledaju gore 

nego dolje) daju umjetničku dimenziju. Tome pridonosi i 

format fotografija od 1x1,40 m koji kogulama često daje 

i dekorativni karakter. Na samim fotografijama razabire 

se želja za snimanjem detalja, a približavanjem objektu, 

kogule kao da počinju živjeti nekim svojim životom, koji 

golim okom nije vidljiv. Vrijednost toga pothvata nije, dakle, 

samo u tome da se šira javnost upozna s tradicijom 

postirskih kogula, nego – čini mi se – možda upravo u 

tome da se mještani Postira osvijeste o značenju i ljepoti 

malih ili velikih, oblih ili neravnih, kogula po kojima svakodnevno 

hodaju na posao, tržnicu, kući. Jer, na kraju 

krajeva, o njima samima vjerojatno najviše ovisi njihovo 

očuvanje. Fotografija Marina Šantića slijedi stari recept 

po kojemu se umjetnost javlja ondje gdje se neki naizgled 

obični predmet, svima poznat i uobičajen, uzme u 

razmatranje i pokaže u nekom drugom svjetlu. U spoju s 

njegovim ostalim afinitetima, sigurno je da ćemo o njemu, 

ne samo u području fotografije, još čuti.

Touch of art 

Postirian Kogule (Pebbles) 

Between Discovery and Inspiration 

Photography of Marin Šantić follows an old path that art appears whenever and 

wherever one object viewed by all as common and ordinary is took into consideration 

and exposed in a new light 


Kogule (pebbles) as a construction items are 

smooth stones picked from beaches and the 

bottom of the sea and could be found in many 

Dalmatian places, especially on islands. Lacking 

in more sophisticated methods and materials, a 

technique of flagging with kogule (pebbles) is based 

on non-binding materials. Kogule (pebbles) were laid 

down on the wet earth mixed with sand making thus 

various mosaics. 

First testimonies about Postirian kogule (pebbles) dated 

April 23, 1875, when the emperor Franjo Josip I visited his 

county Dalmatia for the first time. He arrived to island 

Brač by his ship “Miramar” and on the occasion he visit- 

64 

ed Postire. Probably the situation was that Postirians were 

embarrassed about the road from the waterfront to the 

church being earthy, but they did not know anything better. 

In order to pay a tribute to the emperor and make his 

visit worthy of His Majesty, they flagged the earthy road 

with kogule (pebbles). And exactly the Postirian kogule 

are the most preserved one on island Brač, and that it 

should remain so, a young photographer Marin Šantić is 

concerned about. On the exhibition in the hotel “Pastura” 

held on August 24 to September 3, 2006 we could see 

his cycle “Postirian kogule”, which speaks about durability 

of kogule (pebbles) and in the same time warns about 

the problem of their preservation.

The photographer who, as he states for himself, quit 

studying on the Faculty of Economy because he had a 

desire for doing art, already in 1999 had been noticed 

on the contest “Cultural and Natural Heritage” organised 

by Croatian Film Association. 

His interest for Postirian kogule (pebbles) should be understood 

in that context, that kogule are not just a kind 

of productive artistic object to him but as well as an 

object of cultural and natural heritage, which has to 

be preserved at any cost. Šantić is an active member 

of Photo club “Split”. At the moment he is attending 

the program of Callegari Institute for an interior stylist 

in Split and, among all other things, he is involved in 

graphic design well confirmed by his attractive web 

site with Postirian kogule. Black-and-white photographs 

of kogule (pebbles) are very good choice revealing a 

desire for a documentary work by giving to one object 

viewed as common and ordinary (at least for inhabitants 

of Brač or maybe even tourists who rather look up 

than down) an artistic dimension. A size of photographs 

of 1x1.40 m also contributes to that very impression and 

gives to kogule a decorative character. 

A desire for shooting details is obvious on the photographs, 

and through getting closer to the object kogule 

(pebbles) seem to begin to live their own life invisible to 

the eyesight. Value of the grasp is not, consequently, 

only that a broader public get some knowledge about 

the tradition of Postirian kogule (pebbles) but perhaps 

– as it seems to me – to make Postirian people conscious 

about significance and beauty of small or big, 

round or uneven kogule they are daily walking on while 

heading for work, market or home. After all, the preservation 

of kogule depends on them. Photography 

of Marin Šantić follows an old path that art appears 

whenever and wherever one object viewed by all as 

common and ordinary is took into consideration and 

exposed in a new light. Regarding his other affinities it 

is quite sure that we will be hearing from him not only in 

the field of photography.

Lj 

etna oaza Jonathana i Donne Devaux izvana je 

tipična dalmatinska neupadljiva kamena kuća s 

vrtom, smještena u neposrednoj blizini rive u Cavtatu. 

No, intervencijom u interijer i eksterijer iza 

kuće, poštujući kamen i mediteransko podneblje, 

pretvorena je u moderan i funkcionalan prostor za život 

tijekom cijele godine. 

Umirovljeni pilot i njegova supruga prije četiri godine su 

posjetili Hrvatsku nakon trideset godina. Poželjeli su kuću 

za odmor i prvotna ideja bila je Dubrovnik, no kad su vidjeli 

Cavtat i čisto more, znali su da je to ono što žele. Svekar 

poznate engleske dizajnerice hrvatskih korijena Vanje 

Štrok krenuo je u potragu za idealnom kućom, što nije bilo 

nimalo lako. Vratili su se u Englesku, a onda im je agent 

poslao slike kuće koju su kupili prije tri godine. 

– Čim sam vidjela terasu, znala sam da je to to – riječi su 

gospođe Donne koja kaže da su željeli imati kuću blizu 

mora koju bi jednostavno uredili. Problema su imali s arhi- 

tektima koji su od starog zdanja htjeli napraviti luksuzno, s 

čime se vlasnici nisu složili. Imali su, reći će, sreće iz treće 

jer su naletjeli na dubrovačku arhitekticu Dunju Janjić s 

kojom su se vrlo brzo našli na istoj “valnoj duljini”. Kako 

je ta kamena kuća, do koje se dolazi stubama tek nekoliko 

desetaka metara od rive, već bila preuređena za 

iznajmljivanje, Devauxovi su porušili nepotrebne zidove i 

u prizemlju napravili kuhinju s blagovaonicom i dnevnu 

sobu. Kuhinja je vrlo moderna, a ujedno i vrlo jednostavna. 

Kuhinjski elementi su spoj otvorenih te aluminijskim 

okvirima i kaljenim staklom zatvorenih niša, dok je radna 

ploha od mramora. U takav minimalizam odlično su se 

uklopili moderni uređaji od inoksa, a svoje mjesto je našao 

i čajnik za tradicionalni five o’clock tea. 

Uz takvu kuhinju i bijelim kamenom popločani pod, dobro 

se uklopio stol napravljen u Brightonu, a uz njega 

stolice iz Francuske koje su kupljene u prodavaonici 

antiknog namještaja. Lijep komad namještaja je i šar-

Zidove cijele kuće krase slike dubrovačke umjetnice 

Nikoline Šimunović / Walls of the entire house are ornamented 

with paintings of a Dubrovnikan artist Ms. 

Nikolina Šimunović 

mantni kredenac iz 1850. koji dobro pristaje uz stolice. 

Dnevnu sobu čine kožnati bež trosjed i dvije fotelje, a tu je 

i divan koji je englesku zamijenio hrvatskom adresom nakon 

trideset godina. Zidove cijele kuće, pa i u dnevnoj 

sobi, krase slike dubrovačke umjetnice Nikoline Šimunović, 

čijim je radom gospođa Donna očarana. 

Kamene stube s rukohvatima od kovanog željeza dijele 

prizemni dio kuće na kuhinju s blagovaonicom i dnevni 

boravak, a vode na prvu etažu. U niši na vrhu stuba svoje 

mjesto su našle i dvije svilom presvučene stare klupice. 

Stare su oko 250 godina, a jedna od njih je u davnim vremenima 

bila noćna posuda. Na prvoj etaži kuće je spavaća 

soba Devauxovih. Kineski noćni ormarići kupljeni 

u Londonu su ocrtani rukom, a iznad kreveta je svoje 

mjesto našla i slika s Fidžija rađena tehnikom pečata, čiji 

ornamenti neodoljivo podsjećaju na konavoski vez. Veliki 

zidni ormar dovoljno je velik i neprimjetan da u njega 

sve stane. Jedan dio sobe označen je kao “radni” i tu su 

smješteni kauč i televizor. S balkona sobe puca pogled 

na obližnji zvonik i cavtatsku uvalu. 

Minimalizam se ocrtava i u bijeloj kupaonici sa sivim detaljima. 

68 

U potkrovlju su dvije sobe i kupaonica. Jedna soba je u 

wenge varijanti, dok drugom, manjom, dominira krevet 

od kovanog željeza koji su prije dugo godina kupili u prodavaonici 

koja prodaje antikne krevete. 

S prvog kata se izlazi i u vrt iza kuće. Trebalo je nekoliko 

kamiona da odveze sve smeće kojim je vrt bio zatrpan, 

a, na veliko iznenađenje vlasnika, pokazalo se da imaju 

živu stijenu u vrtu. Od nekadašnje gusterne napravljena 

je sprema, a uz vrt s maslinom i dalmatinskim raslinjem 

svoje mjesto našla je i terasa s bazenom. Tu domaćini 

mogu uživati skriveni od znatiželjnih pogleda, a poseban 

ugođaj je navečer kad se upale lampioni. 

S prednje strane kuće je terasa s koje puca pogled na 

cavtatsku uvalu. Natkrivena je odrinom od vinove loze, a 

u hladovini središnje mjesto zauzimaju stari stol i stolice iz 

Francuske. I detalji u vrtu na tri etaže su antikni. Uz naranče, 

lavandu, bogumile, maslinu i oleandar dobro uspijeva 

engleska trava kojoj, očito, odgovara društvo s Mediterana. 

A lijepo je i Donni i Jonathanu koji su u Cavtatu stekli 

prijatelje i rituale ispijanja jutarnje kave u “svom” kafiću. 

Cavtatom, čistim morem i ljepotom obale su toliko oduševljeni 

da kad odu već razmišljaju kad će se vratiti.

English Minimalism 

in Cavtat 

A beautiful Dalmatian house settled close to the waterfront in Cavtat is a new 

summer oasis of Jonathan and Donna Devaux. Having a respect for the stone 

and Mediterranean climate they created a modern and functional space

Ponosni vlasnici Jonathan i Donna Devaux / 

Proud owners Jonathan and Donna Devaux 

From the outside, the summer oasis of Jonathan and 

Donna Devaux is a typical Dalmatian, moderate 

stone house with a garden, situated close to the 

waterfront in Cavtat. However, it is, by intervening 

in the interior and exterior at the rear of the house and 

respectfulness for the stone and Mediterranean climate, 

transformed into the modern and functional space to 

live throughout the year. 

The retired pilot and his wife visited Croatia four years ago 

after a gap of thirty years. They wished a house for a rest 

having Dubrovnik on mind at first. But, when they saw 

Cavtat with its crystal clear sea, they knew immediately 

what they wanted. A father in law of well known English 

designer of Croatian origin Ms. Vanja Štrok, set out a 

search for an ideal house, which was not an easy task. After 

their return to England a real estate agent sent them a 

picture of the house they bought three years ago. 

- As soon as I saw the terrace I knew that was it – says Ms. 

Donna explaining their wish to have a simply arranged 

house near the sea. They had some problems with architects 

who wanted to transform this old house into a luxury 

edifice, what they did not want. As it is usually said 

the third was luck, they met a Dubrovnikan architect 

Ms. Dunja Janjić, with whom they spoke the “same language”. 

The house, located only some ten metres from 

the waterfront, had been already renovated for renting 

so the Devauxs had to tear down only some unnecessary 

walls; on the ground floor they made a kitchen with 

dinning room and a lounge. 

The kitchen is, at the same time, very modern and very simple. 

Kitchen elements are a mixture of open and closed 

niches with tempered glass within aluminium frames, 

while the working surface is made of marble. Within such 

minimalism modern appliances of inox fitted just fine as 

well as a tea pot for traditional five o’clock tea.

Dream home

The painting from Fiji 

made in technique

A table made in Brighton suited well to the kitchen and 

the floor flagged by white stone, together with chairs 

bought in an antique shop in France. A charming cupboard 

from 1850 is also a fine piece of furniture, which 

fits the chairs. 

In the lounge there are beige leather upholstered threeseat 

sofa and two armchairs as well as a thirty years old 

ottoman, brought from the home in England. Walls of 

the entire house are ornamented with paintings of a 

Dubrovnikan artist Ms. Nikolina Šimunović whose art Ms. 

Donna is enchanted by. 

A stone stairway with cast iron hand-holds divides the 

ground floor into the kitchen with dinning room and the 

lounge leading to the first floor. On the top of the stairway 

there is a niche with two 250 years old benches, upholstered 

in silk; one of them was a chamber-pot once. 

On the first floor there is a bedroom. Chinese night stands 

bought in London are ornamented with drawings, and 

above the bed there is a painting from Fiji made in technique 

of stamps, which irresistible resembles a Konavle 

fancy-work. A grand wall wardrobe is large enough and 

invisible to hide everything inside. One part of the room 

is marked as a “studio” with a couch and TV set. From 

the balcony there is a view on the adjacent bell tower 

and Cavtat small bay. 

Minimalism is also well exposed in the white bathroom 

with grey details. In the loft there are two rooms and a 

bathroom. One room is in the Wenge style while the other 

is dominated by the cast iron bed bought many years 

ago in an antique shop. 

From the first floor there is an exit to the garden at the 

rear of the house. It took several trucks to drive away 

piles and piles of garbage that the garden was choked 

with, and to the owner’s great surprise they found a living 

rock there. 

The former water tank was transformed to a storage 

room, and besides the garden with olive tree and Mediterranean 

plants a terrace with a swimming pool found its 

place, too. Here, the hosts can enjoy hidden from curious 

eyes, and a special atmosphere is created in the evening 

when Chinese lanterns are on. In front of the house there 

is a terrace with a view on the Cavtat bay, covered with 

a vine under which an old table with chairs from France 

occupies the central position. Even details in the garden 

of three storeys are antique. English grass is growing well 

in the company of Mediterranean plants; oranges, lavender, 

bogomile, olive tree and oleander. And, of course, 

Donna and Jonathan enjoy in good company of their 

new friends in Cavtat and morning coffee rituals in “their” 

coffee bar. They are so delighted with Cavtat, crystal clear 

sea and the beauty of the coast that whenever they go 

home they already think when they will be back.

U Puli je nedavno otvorena Kuća svjetla, jedan od arhitektonski najljepših poslovnih 

objekata u Hrvatskoj, u kojoj su predstavljene spektakularne mogućnosti light designa, 

discipline koja tek treba zaživjeti u hrvatskoj arhitektonskoj praksi

Kad se dva kreativca susretnu na istom projektu, 

prijeti opasnost da se dogodi “veliki prasak”. Tijekom 

susreta arhitekta Andrije Rusana i dizajnera 

svjetla Deana Skire, ujedno i investitora poslovne 

zgrade Kuća svjetla u Puli, dogodilo se nešto posve suprotno: 

obojica su, uz međusobnu toleranciju i uvažavanje, 

jedan drugome podarili slobodu stvaranja, što je 

rezultiralo oslobađanjem dodatne energije i vrhunskim 

arhitektonsko-dizajnerskim ostvarenjem u žanru poslovne 

arhitekture. 

“Dean Skira izgradio je poslovni objekt koji zadovoljava 

njegove poslovne, ali i estetske potrebe. Želio je 

da zgrada bude simboličan pokazatelj onoga čime se 

bavi, atrakcija koja privlači klijente koji prepoznaju kvalitetu 

suvremenog oblikovanja. Skira voli i cijeni lijepo, to 

nedvosmisleno ističe i spreman je to platiti; gradeći poslovnu 

zgradu bio je vođen istom idejom kojom rafinirani 

ljudi biraju odjeću, cipele ili automobil. Prihvatio je moje 

idejno rješenje, atipično i nekonvencionalno, imao je 

povjerenje u moj rad, i to je u meni oslobodilo dodatnu 

energiju, koja se pak vezivala uz njegovu. Ta nas je sinergija 

vodila prema zajedničkom cilju. Danas taj objekt 

potpisujemo zajednički: ja kao autor arhitekture, a Skira 

kao autor interijera, ponosni što je katkad zapravo teško 

razlučiti što je bio čiji posao”, kaže Andrija Rusan. 

Dean Skira, vlasnik tvrtke Lumenart, koja se bavi projektiranjem 

rasvjete i prodajom rasvjetnih tijela, svoju je 

poslovnu zgradu – kao dizajner rasvjete i osoba snažnog 

estetskog i umjetničkog senzibiliteta – vizionirao s jasnim 

artističkim pretenzijama. 

Inspirativan trenutak 

“Smatram da je zgrada projektirana u vrlo inspirativnom 

trenutku Andrije Rusana. Bilo je iznimno važno da arhitekt 

i ja razmišljamo na istim frekvencijama, u suglasju 

s vizijama budućega poslovnog prostora koji se ne ‘razbacuje’ 

ni veličinom, ni dizajnom, ni preskupim materijalima. 

Klasična gradnja od opeke obavijena je čeličnom 

konstrukcijom na koju su postavljene aluminijske 

rešetke, zatim obložene panelima od recikliranog stakla, 

naknadno ožbukanog i obojenog u bijelo. Pročelje 

je ventilirano, kroz njega neprestano cirkulira zrak kao

Samo jednim pritiskom na dugme daljinskog upravljača 

mijenja se boja i jačina svjetla / The intensity and 

colour of the light is controlled and adjusted at the 

touch of a button 

najbolji termički izolator, a zgrada je, zbog golemih staklenih 

površina, cijeli dan okupana prirodnim svjetlom. 

Inicijalno sam priželjkivao da Kuća svjetla svojim izgledom, 

svojom minimalističkom estetiziranošću, ‘priča’ o 

onome čime se bavim, da ljudi koji traže naše usluge 

otprve prepoznaju s kim se susreću. Zahvaljujući Andriji 

Rusanu, ta je vizija postala stvarnost”, navodi Skira. 

Kuća svjetla mogla bi poslužiti kao svjetleći putokaz u 

korporativnoj i pejsažnoj arhitekturi, u projektiranju luksuznih 

kuća i stanova... Samo jednim pritiskom na dugme 

daljinskog upravljača mijenja se boja i jačina svjetla, a 

zgrada nalik na nebrušeni kristal noću svijetli u različitim 

nijansama i tonovima te poprima nadrealni oblik. No, 

prava iznenađenja posjetitelje čekaju u unutrašnjosti 

troetažne zgrade. U prizemlju je showroom, u kojem je 

izložena profesionalna i dekorativna rasvjeta najprestižnijih 

europskih proizvođača, kao što su iGuzzini, Flos, 

Catellani&Smith, Leucos, Viabizzuno i drugi. Na prvom 

je katu projektni odjel, na kojem osim Deana Skire rade 

i četiri inženjera i dva dizajnera. Na posljednjoj je etaži 

dvorana za edukaciju, ujedno i demonstracijski centar 

za prezentaciju projekata, u kojem se vide svi dometi 

i rasponi arhitektonske rasvjete, od mijenjanja boja do 

ugađanja jačine svjetla. U Kući svjetla, ukupne površine 

oko 700 četvornih metara, instalirano je sve dosad 

poznato u svjetskoj industriji rasvjete. Riječ je, zapravo, o 

sjedinjenju novih tehnologija, od strojarskih i elektroničkih 

do informatičkih, u jedinstven koncept light designa, sve 

dublje integriranog u arhitektonski posao. 

Odlazak u Ameriku 

Dean Skira, rođen 1962. u Kiseljaku kod Sarajeva, djetinjstvo 

i mladost proveo je u Puli, rodnom gradu svoga 

oca. Nakon srednje škole iznevjerio je očeva očekivanja 

i, umjesto da se upiše na fakultet, otišao u – Ameriku. U 

New Yorku u početku obavlja najrazličitije poslove kako 

bi preživio u teškim uvjetima, a zatim se upisuje na Fashion 

Institute of Technology, na kojem studira “interior 

design” i specijalizira svjetlo. 

Usporedo sa studiranjem radio je u uglednim tvrtkama 

za projektiranje svjetlosnih sustava, u zemlji koja je u to 

vrijeme na tom području bila barem desetak godina 

ispred Europe. 

“Svih osam godina provedenih u New Yorku posvetio 

sam se – u teoriji i praksi – arhitektonskoj i pejsažnoj 

rasvjeti. Na nagovor jednog od klijenata, koji je bio vrlo 

zadovoljan mojim radom, osnovao sam vlastitu tvrtku 

Lumenart i uspješno poslovao, no potkraj 1994. odlučio 

73

Hi-tech&Art 

sam se vratiti u Hrvatsku i nastaviti isti posao – na jednom 

računalu u spavaćoj sobi svoje kuće u Premanturi. Nije 

me zanimala ni teatralna ni disko-rasvjeta, specijalizirao 

sam se za light design u arhitekturi”, kaže Skira. 

Tvrtka Lumenart za projektiranje rasvjete postupno se razvijala 

i naposljetku prerasla u projekt nazvan House of 

light, u kojem su komplementarno povezana sva dosadašnja 

Skirina strukovna i menadžerska znanja. Profesionalno 

blizak arhitekturi, kao investitor poslovne zgrade, 

bio je vrlo jasan u svojim zahtjevima i očekivanjima. 

Potpis autorskog dvojca 

“Izvrsno smo surađivali, što ne znači da je naš odnos u 

svakom trenutku bio idiličan, ali ni zakinut za konstruktivna 

rješenja. Investitor je prihvatio moje idejno rješenje, 

atipično i nekonvencionalno. Imao je povjerenje u moj 

rad i moj arhitektonski studio, i to je doista u meni oslobodilo 

dodatnu energiju, koja se pak vezivala uz njegovu. 

Ta nas je sinergija vodila prema zajedničkom cilju, ali 

bez međusobnog razumijevanja taj cilj ne bi bio ostvariv. 

Danas taj objekt potpisujemo zajednički: ja kao autor 

arhitekture, a Skira kao autor interijera, ponosni što je 

katkad teško razlučiti što je bio čiji posao”, kaže Andrija 

Rusan. 

A Skira dodaje: “Kao dizajner rasvjete, zajedno s arhitektom, 

zadirem u samu strukturu interijera, iako mi svjetiljka 

sama po sebi, kao dizajn-proizvod i dekorativa, ne 

znači mnogo. Važnije mi je kako ona funkcionira i kako 

utječe na doživljaj prostora, posredno dakle i na raspoloženje 

ljudi u tom interijeru. Naša tvrtka zasad je jedina 

74 

koja, u suradnji s američkom kompanijom Lutron, nudi 

sustav centralnog elektroničkog upravljanja rasvjetom. 

Jednostavnim pritiskom na dugme regulira se jačina i 

boja svjetla za čitanje, gledanje televizije, relaksiranje, 

objedovanje... Sve to pridonosi komfornom i ugodnom 

življenju, a mi smo osposobljeni takve sustave ugrađivati 

u različite objekte, od obiteljskih kuća i stanova do hotela 

i poslovnih prostora. Budući da ljude zapravo ne 

zanima kako u inženjerskom smislu taj sustav funkcionira 

‘pozadinski’, nego samo finalni rezultat, odlučio sam se 

za predočavanje simulacije na računalu, kako bi klijentu 

otprve bilo jasno što će se u prostoru dogoditi kad upali 

svjetlo.” 

Referentni poslovi 

Popis referentnih poslova studija Lumenart sve je duži: 

lungomare u Puli, stari grad Buzet, crkveni toranj u Pazinu, 

Hotel Argentina u Dubrovniku, toranj na riječkom 

Korzu, Memorijalni centar “Dražen Petrović” u Zagrebu, 

Botanički vrt u gradu Lucca u Toskani, Palazzo Madamma 

u Torinu, a sada dovršavaju Rasvjetni master plan 

grada Poreča. 

Na simboličnoj razini svjetlo znači život, a upravljanje 

svjetlom moglo bi se shvatiti i kao upravljanje životom. 

Dizajneri rasvjete Kuće svjetla, slijedom te logike, u prenesenom 

smislu upravljaju životom jer utječu na raspoloženje 

ljudi, potiču ugodu, provociraju estetski doživljaj... 

Kuća svjetla u Puli svijetli je primjer razvoja hi-tech poduzetništva 

u Hrvatskoj, ali i važan promotor light designa u 

suvremenoj kulturi življenja.

U Kući svjetla, ukupne površine oko 700 četvornih metara, instalirano je sve dosad poznato u svjetskoj industriji rasvjete 

/ In House of Light, of total living space of 700 square metres, there is installed everything already known in the 

world of lighting industry 

A Creative Firework 

in the House of Light 

The House of Light was recently opened in Pula, one of architecturally most beautiful commercial 

buildings in Croatia, in which spectacular possibilities of lighting design are presented, 

a discipline which is about to become more vital in Croatian architectural practice

When two creative men meet each other at 

the same project than there is a dangerous 

threat of a “big boom“. But, for the two, an 

architect Andrija Rusan and Dean Skira a designer 

of light and at the same time the investor of the 

commercial building The House of Light in Pula, something 

quite different had happened: both of them, tolerating 

and respecting each other, enable for each other 

a freedom of creativity, which resulted in releasing an additional 

energy and high quality architectural-designer 

creation within the genre of business architecture. 

“Dean Skira built a business building which satisfies not 

only his business but even his aesthetic needs. He wanted 

the building to be a symbolic indicator of his job, an attraction 

which will be appealing for clients, who recognize 

the quality of contemporary design. Skira likes and 

appreciates the beauty, as he himself points out, which 

he is undoubtedly ready to pay for: in building the commercial 

facility he was led by the same idea by which 

sophisticated people are led when buying their shoes or 

even a car. 

“He accepted my design, which was atypical and nonconventional, 

and he trusted in my work, which released 

in me an additional energy that in return was bound to 

his. That synergy led us towards our common goal. Today, 

we are together undersigned to this project: me as an 

author of architecture and Skira as an author of the interior, 

both proud of the fact that it is difficult to say apart 

who did what”, says Andrija Rusan. 

Dean Skira as an owner of the company “Lumenart“ for 

designing and selling lightings, imagined his commercial 

building – both as a designer and a person of strong aesthetic 

and artistic sensibility – with clear artistic intentions. 

A Moment of Inspiration 

“It is my opinion that the building is designed at the 

Andrija Rusan’s moment of inspiration. It was extremely 

important that the architect and I spoke the same 

75

language in accord with visions of prospective business 

facility which is not “overemphasized”, not even regarding 

its size or design or too costly material. 

A classic brick construction is wrapped in a steel construction 

with aluminium bars, than covered by panels of recycled 

glass, additionally plastered and painted in white. 

The front is ventilated with constant flow of the air as the 

best thermo-isolator. The building is, due to its huge glass 

surfaces, “bathing” in daily light throughout the day. 

“Initially, I wanted that the look of the House of Light, 

its minimalist aesthetic, became a story-teller what my 

job was about, that our prospective clients would know 

from the first sight what to expect. Owing to Andrija Rusan, 

that vision became a reality”, says Skira. 

The House of Light could be a shining milestone in the corporative 

and landscaping architecture, in the design of 

luxury houses and apartments... The intensity and colour 

of the light is controlled and adjusted at the touch of a 

button, and the building like a raw crystal is illuminating at 

night in various shades, getting a surrealistic look. 

But, real surprises are kept for visitors inside of the three 

storeys building. On the ground storey there is a showroom 

with an exhibition of professional and decorative 

lightings of the most famous European producers like 

iGuzzini, Flos, Catellani&Smith, Leucos, Viabizzuno and 

others. On the first storey there is a designer studio in 

which besides Dean Skira, four engineers and two designers 

are working. On the last storey there is a hall for 

education together with a demonstration centre for 

presentation of projects; here, one can see all achievements 

and ranges of architectural lightings, from changing 

of colours to controlling the intensity of light. In the 

House of Light, of total living space of 700 square metres, 

there is installed everything already known in the world 

of lighting industry. 

We are speaking about merging of new technologies, 

mechanical engineering, electronics and informatics in 

one unique concept of light design, more and more integrated 

into the architectural business. 

Leaving for America 

Dean Skira was born in 1962, in Kiseljak near Sarajevo; he 

spent his childhood and youth in Pula, a home town of his 

father. After finishing a high school, he failed his father’s 

expectations and instead of commencing the Faculty 

he left for – America. In New York, at the beginning, he 

worked on various jobs for surviving through difficult times 

and than commenced the Fashion Institute of Technology, 

studying interior design. He specialised in lighting. 

Along with his studies he worked in well established firms 

for light systems design, in the country that at the time 

was at least some ten years ahead of Europe in the field. 

“Throughout those eight years in New York I was devoted 

to - in theory and practice - architectural and landscaping 

lighting. One client of mine, very satisfied with my 

work, persuaded me to establish my own firm Lumenart 

which operated successfully till the end of 1994 when I 

decided to return to Croatia and to continue with the 

same business – working on one computer in my bedroom 

in the house in Premantura. 

I have never been interested in theatre or disco lighting, 

but I specialised in light design in architecture”. The firm

Zgrada noću svijetli u različitim nijansama i tonovima 

te poprima nadrealni oblik / The building is illuminating 

at night in various shades, getting a surrealistic look 

Lumenart for lighting design gradually developed and 

became the project called The House of Light, in which 

all Skira’s professional and managerial knowledge is 

complementary bound together. As an investor of the 

commercial building professionally close to architecture 

he was very clear in his requirements and expectations. 

A Signature of an Authorship of the Two 

“We cooperated wonderfully, which does not mean 

that our relation was always an ideal one, but, neither 

were we lacking in constructive solutions. The investor 

accepted my design, which was atypical and non-conventional, 

he trusted in my work and my studio, which released 

additional energy in me that in return was bound 

to his. That synergy led us toward our common goal. Today, 

we are together undersigned to this project: me as 

an author of architecture and Skira as an author of the 

interior, proud of the fact that it is difficult to say apart 

who did what”, says Andrija Rusan. 

Skira adds:”As a designer of lightings, together with an 

architect, I penetrate into the very structure of the interior, 

although the light source itself, as a decorative 

design-product does not mean much to me. For me, it 

is more important how it functions and so impacts the 

atmosphere of the space, and so, indirectly people’s 

mood in that interior. Our company together with American 

company Lutra, for now, is the only one which offers 

a central system of electronic light control. 

The intensity and colour of the light is controlled and 

adjusted at the touch of a button for reading, watching 

the television, relaxing, having lunch... all that contributing 

to the comfort and pleasant living. We are 

well equipped to install such systems in various objects: 

family houses and apartments, hotels and commercial 

facilities. Inasmuch, people are not interested how this 

system technically functions, but only in the final result. 

Therefore we decided to present the system through a 

computer simulation so that the client could see what 

will happen when he turns lights on in his space.”

Garden in town Lucca in Toscana, Palazzo Madamma

On its symbolical level, the light means the life, and controlling 

the light could be understood like controlling 

the life. Designers of the House of Light, in the course of 

that logic, metaphorically control the life, influencing 

the mood of people, stimulating pleasant sensations, 

provoke aesthetical experience etc. The House of Light 

is a fine example of the hi-tech entrepreneurship development 

in Croatia and an important promoter of light 

design in modern living culture.

Najzabavniji hotel na svijetu 

Hotel Fox u Kopenhagenu je jednako toliko i galerija suvremene umjetnosti koliko 

i hotel, s (nažalost) nemogućnošću gledanja svih izložaka u jednom danu. Ne čudi 

stoga što je stalno popunjen. Gotovo da nema tehnike koja ovdje nije primijenjena 

– od printa do autolaka, svaka od soba Foxa priča je za sebe

Inovativna marketinška akcija za lansiranje jednoga 

vozila dovela je do stvaranja jednoga od najinovativnijih 

hotela u Europi: Hotel Fox u Kopenhagenu 

imenjak je najmanjeg i najnovijeg modela Volkswagenova 

automobila, ali kampanja je prerasla “autić” i 

postala priča za sebe. 

U 2004. godini, Volkswagenova marketinška agencija, 

potpomognuta brojnim kreativcima, raspisala je natječaj 

za mlade umjetnike, dizajnere i inovativne hotelijere 

i kuhare koji bi zajednički trebali kreirati novi Fox. U 

travnju prošle godine, među svim prijavljenim dizajnerima, 

strip-crtačima, grafiti-umjetnicima, ilustratorima i 

slikarima, odabrano je dvadesetak najboljih dizajnerskih 

grupa koje su sljedeća tri tjedna provele u dotad 

poprilično neuglednom trozvjezdičnom hotelu Park, 

transformirajući ga u nevjerojatno zabavno, na trenutke 

delirično “it” mjesto za mlade putnike – Hotel Fox. 

Isti je proces primijenjen na napušteno skladište koje je 

postalo Club Fox, te na tvornički prostor koji je pretvoren 

u Studio Fox. 

I dok je neobičan dizajn klubova poprilično “opće mjesto”, 

u hotelskoj sobi u kojoj vas sa zida gleda čudovišna 

silueta (koja poručuje “Sleep!”) ili princeza iz bajke, vrijedi 

barem jednom odsjesti. A upravo se to dogodilo svim 

auto-novinarima koji su prvi kročili u obnovljeni hotel 

gdje se dijelom odvijala prezentacija automobila Fox. 

Svaka od 61 sobe ima svoj karakter i priču: možete se 

osjećati kao da ste zaronili u začaranu šumu, u kuću obitelji 

Addams, u boksački ring, na kampiralište ili izravno 

u japanski manga crtani film. Mladi umjetnici iz trinaest 

zemalja, prema zadanoj premisi, nisu se libili ni najrevolucionarnijih 

rješenja, a rezultat koji je ostao kao trajna 

uspomena na iznimno uspješno promišljanje tržišne strategije, 

već više od godine dana oduševljava goste. 

Fox nije tražio velika, poznata i skupa imena za dizajn: 

talentirani članovi odabranoga kluba koji je dekorirao 

hotel bili su željni dokazivanja i ovaj su projekt doživjeli 

kao prigodu za proboj, a mnogima je to nakon Foxa 

i uspjelo. Jer Fox je jednako toliko i galerija suvremene 

umjetnosti koliko i hotel, s (nažalost) nemogućnošću gledanja 

svih izložaka u jednom danu. Ne čudi stoga što je 

hotel stalno popunjen. Gotovo da nema tehnike koja

ovdje nije primijenjena – od printa do autolaka, svaka 

od soba Foxa priča je za sebe, priča koja je, koliko u 

stalnoj inspiraciji umjetnika, nastajala i kao trenutačna 

inspiracija “melting potom” tih dvadesetak dana koliko 

je susret dizajna iz cijelog svijeta u Kopenhagenu trajao. 

Autorima je dana potpuna sloboda u kreativnosti: mogli 

su birati čime će biti obložen pod, od kojega materijala 

žele zavjese, kakvim će namještajem biti opremljen 

prostor. Tako je nastala, primjerice, soba “Anti-Gravity” 

s ručno rađenim ilustracijama londonskog dizajnerskog 

studija Neasden Control Centre, “Logo” soba Viagrafika 

prekrivena printevima, soba s kičastim ilustracijama 

“Heidi” švicarskog strip-crtača Benjamina Güdela, “australska” 

soba brisbaneskog kolektiva Rinzen (u kojoj vas 

sa zida smjerno gleda – koala), soba zvana “Autentična 

mitska čudovišta” na čijim zidovima ravnopravno žive 

dinosaur i “monster-truck”, kao i cijeli niz soba s čistim 

linijama, čiji su jedini kuriozitet vješte i diskretne grafičke 

intervencije. Među najpoznatijim su autorima “Antoine 

et Manuel”, pariški dizajnerski dvojac koji radi dizajn za 

brandove poput Habitata ili Lacroixa. No, i oni su dali 

mašti na volju u ovom području neograničene kreativnosti. 

Naravno, ni zajednički prostori restorana i lobbyja 

nisu ostali pošteđeni neobičnih kreacija, a jedini prostor 

80 

zabrana ostali su veličina kreveta i kupaonice, standardni 

za sve sobe. 

Pritom, ipak, nije žrtvovano ništa od udobnosti kakvu 

razmažena MTV generacija traži: sobe su koncipirane 

u četiri veličine – od “small” do “extra large”, a sve su, 

neovisno o veličini, opremljene brzom internetskom vezom, 

plazma TV ekranima i drugim ekranom za kompjutore, 

kao i uobičajenim hotelskim uslugama. Kuriozitet 

je što u Foxu možete iznajmiti i iPod! 

Fox se u godinu i pol rada profilirao ne samo kao mjesto 

za duhom mlade “globetrottere” nego i za ljubitelje 

izvrsne hrane. Paralelno s izborom dizajnera, na isti način 

i na temelju inovativnih ideja u usluzi birani su i mladi 

kuhari i hotelijeri, pa je među 25 najboljih odabran tim 

od 12 kreativnih mladih kuhara. Foxov restoran danas 

je prava riznica zdrave i neobične hrane koja se, dakako, 

servira s podjednako neobičnim priborom za jelo, a 

prijateljska i opuštena atmosfera idealno se stapaju s 

osnovnom idejom projekta – biti drukčiji. 

No, ono zbog čega Fox valja posjećivati svaki put iznova 

jesu njegove sobe. Najniža cijena noćenja u ovom 

dansko-globalnome svijetu bajki je 125 eura, što nije 

puno za jedinstveno iskustvo, jer u Foxu sigurno nećete 

ostati bez priče za laku noć, ispričane u slikama.

The World’s Most 

Exciting Hotel 

The hotel Fox in Kopenhagen is in the same time a gallery of contemporary art as 

well as a hotel which exhibits can’t be view all in one day (unfortunately). So it is not 

a surprise that the hotel is constantly booked. There is almost no tehnique which is 

not applied – from a print to auto laquer; each room of the Fox is a story by itself

An inventive marketing action for the launch of 

one automobile brought up the creation of one 

of the most inventive hotels in Europe: the hotel 

Fox in Kopenhagen share a name with one of 

the smallest new Volkswagen model, but the campaigne 

overgrew the little car and became its own story. 

In 2004 Volkswagen marketing agency supported by 

many creative persons announced a competition for 

young artists, designers and inventive hotel managers 

and chefs for designing the new Fox. 

Last year in April among all designers, comic strip drawers, 

graphite artists, illustrators and painters that applied 

for the competition twenty the best designer groups 

were chosen. They spent three weeks in, until than, quite 

insignificant three-star hotel Park, transforming it into the 

most incredible fun, at moment even deliric “in” place 

for young travellers – the hotel Fox. The same process has 

been applied in transforming an abandoned warehouse 

to the Club Fox and an factory area into the Studio Fox. 

Clubs are designed in a common modern design way so 

to speak but the rooms are quite different story. There is 

a monster silluette on the wall saying “Sleep!“ or a fairy 

tail princess image – all these rooms are worthy to stay in. 

And exactly that happened to all auto-jurnalists when for 

the first time step into the renovated hotel for the presentation 

of the new automobile Fox. 

Each one of 61 rooms has its own character and story: 

you may feel like immersing into the enchanted forest, 

the Addams house, box ring, camping place or directly 

into the Japanese Manga cartoon. Young artists from 

thirteen countries did not restrain from even the most 

revolutionary designs, and the result that remained as a 

82

“Chance” - Antoine et Manuel 

“Big Birds with Big Eyes” - Hort 

permanent reminder of extremely successful marketing 

strategic thinking has been exciting guests for more than 

a year. 

Fox did not require great, famous and very expensive designers: 

gifted members of chosen club that decorated 

the hotel were keen to prove themselves and to take 

their chance for breakthrough, which for many worked 

out perfectly. 

The hotel Fox is in the same time a gallery of contemporary 

art as well as a hotel which exhibits (unfortunately) 

can’t be viewed all in one day. So it is not a surprise that 

the hotel is constantly booked. There is almost no tehnique 

which is not applied – from a print to auto laquer; 

each room of the Fox is a story by itself. This story was creating 

in a melting pot of the two weeks intensive artistic 

inspiration of designers coming from all over the world, 

met together in Kopenhagen. 

Artists had absolute creative freedom from choosing 

furntire, flooring, curtains etc. 

The “Anti-gravity” room is decorated by hand drawn illustration 

made by London design studio Neasden Contol 

Centre, “Logo” room covered in prints, than the Heide 

room with kitsch illustration by Swiss comic strip drawer 

Benjamin Gudel, the “Australian room” of Brisbane team 

Rinzen in which a koala is humbly looking at you, the room 

“Authentic mithic monsters“ on which walls there are dinosaur 

and “monster-truck“ together and the whole line 

of other rooms with pure lines and skillful discrete graphic 

interventions. 

Some of the well known designers were “Antoine et 

Manuel“ the French duo who works for brands like Habitat 

or Lacroix. And they two, of course, gave their imagionation 

free wings in this sphere of unlimited creativity. 

Of course, even common places as the restaurant and 

lobby were not left out of unusual designs. The only firmly 

defined characteristics were the size of a bed and bathroom 

as a standard for all rooms. 

At all this, however, nothing of comfort, which spoiled 

MTV generation requires, has been sacrificed: the rooms 

are designed in four seizes – from “small“ to “extra large“, 

and all are equipped with speed internet link, plasma TV 

screens and screens for computers as well as regular hotel 

services. Curiosity: in the Fox you can rent even an iPod! 

In a year and half the Fox became not only a place for 

spiritually young “globtrotters“ but a place for connoiseurs, 

too. Parallel with the choice of designers in the 

same way and based on inventive ideas 12 young chefs 

and hotel managers were chosen among the group 

of the best 25. The Fox’s restaurant is a real treasury of 

healthy and unusual food which is, of course, served with 

equally unusual tableware, and friendly and relaxed atmosphere 

are ideally merged with the basic idea of the 

project – to be different. 

But the main reason why the Fox should be visited again 

and again are the rooms. The lowest price for night in this 

Danish-global fairy tail world is 125 Euros, which is not too 

much for unique experience. In the Fox you will surely get 

your bed time story – told in pictures.

Kultni komad 


Arhitektura u kojoj se sjedi 

Inspiraciju za stolicu, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe je pronašao u sklopivim stolicama faraona 

i podnožaka Rimljana u obliku slova X. Takav oblik odgovarao je načelima modernog 

dizajna, a upotreba i tradicionalnih i modernih materijala bila je u skladu s njezinom 

funkcionalnom svrhom 

Ludwig Mies van der Rohe jedan je od pionira moderne 

arhitekture i jedan od najvećih i najutjecajnijih 

arhitekata 20. stoljeća. Njemački paviljon na 

izložbi u Barceloni 1929., Farnsworth House u Illinoisu 

1950., Seagram Building u New Yorku iz 1958., samo 

su neke od građevina po kojima je postao poznat. 

Mies van der Rohe rođen je 1886. godine u Njemačkoj, 

84 

gdje provodi prvih 30 godina, a sljedećih 30 u Americi. 

Postao je poznat po izreci “Less is more”, ili “manje je 

više”, držeći se elegantnog minimalizma i svođenja arhitekture 

na ono esencijalno: vertikalno i horizontalno. 

Nepotrebne ukrase zvao je podrugljivo “makaronima”, 

a umjesto riječi “arhitektura” sam Van der Rohe je radije 

volio koristiti izraz “umjetnost građenja”.

Cijela kolekcija Barcelona / Whole collection Barcelona 

Zadnjih godina u Njemačkoj, prije nego je 1937. pred 

nacistima pobjegao u Sjedinjene Američke Države, 

Mies van der Rohe je bio i direktor slavne škole za dizajn 

Bauhaus. Premda su postmodernisti njegovu slavnu 

izreku uobličili u “manje je – dosadno”, njegov je 

utjecaj danas – 38 godina nakon njegove smrti – jednako 

velik. O tome govori upravo Barcelona, ili kao što 

će reći kritičar časopisa Time Richard Lacayo, “klasični 

modernistički namještaj ponovno je u modi, uključujući 

Van der Roheovu Barcelona stolicu, od kroma i kože, 

rađenu za onu istu izložbu u Barceloni 1929.”. Nakon što 

je dovršio projektiranje zgrade za njemački paviljon na 

Svjetskoj izložbi u Barceloni, koje je naručila njemačka 

vlada, Mies i njegova partnerica Lilly Reich počeli su s 

dizajniranjem namještaja za interijer. U jednom intervjuu 

godinu dana nakon izložbe, Mies je o dizajnu stolice rekao 

sljedeće: “Stolica je jako kompliciran objekt. Svatko 

tko je ikada pokušao napraviti stolicu, to zna. Postoje 

bezbrojne mogućnosti i mnogi problemi – stolica mora 

biti laka, mora biti čvrsta, mora biti udobna. Gotovo 

da je lakše izgraditi neboder nego stolicu” (1930.). Ako 

se sjetimo svih staklenih nebodera koje je Mies van der 

Rohe izgradio. Teško mu je ne vjerovati. Inspiraciju za 

stolicu Mies je pronašao u sklopivim stolicama faraona i 

podnožaka Rimljana u obliku slova X. Takav oblik odgovarao 

je načelima modernog dizajna, a upotreba i tradicionalnih 

i modernih materijala bila je u skladu s njezinom 

funkcionalnom svrhom. Godine 1950., tri godine 

nakon smrti Lilly Reich, Mies je koristeći novi materijal, 

nehrđajući čelik, redizajnirao stolicu. To mu je omogućilo 

da sve bude načinjeno od jednog komada metala 

i zapravo je to izgled stolice kakav pamtimo i gledamo 

danas. Stolica Barcelona, koju se nekad naziva i paviljonskom 

stolicom, ubrzo je stekla reputaciju kao klasik 

moderne ili modernog klasika, a proizvodi se i danas. 

No, premda su modernisti prve polovice dvadesetog 

stoljeća, u koje spada i Mies van der Rohe, uglavnom 

Logo KnollStudio i potpis slavnog arhitekta / Knoll 

Studio logo and famous architect’s signature 

smatrali da moderni namještaj treba biti dostupan široj 

masi, i financijski i estetski, stolica Barcelona je iznimka 

od tog pravila. Materijali i konstrukcija su preskupi, 

a i rad je prezahtjevan (samo za izradu kože od koje 

se izrađuje potrebno je najmanje 28 sati rada!) da bi 

bila u široj upotrebi: njezina prosječna cijena kreće se 

od 1500 do 3500 dolara, a proizvode je mnogi (s licencijom 

i bez nje) među kojima je zasigurno najpoznatiji 

Knoll (kojemu je prava dao sam dizajner 1953. pa se 

tako na svakoj može naći utiskan logo KnollStudio i potpis 

slavnog arhitekta). Premda je u Van der Roheovoj 

filozofiji, u skladu s Bauhausom i težnjom da dizajn bude 

funkcionalan i masovno proizvediv za radni narod, na 

prvome mjestu upotreba pojedinog predmeta, stolica 

Barcelona i danas – možda paradoksalno, a možda 

kao suptilna kritika funkcionalizma – ostaje primjer na 

koji se način jedan funkcionalistički predmet par excellence 

može pretvoriti u skulpturu.

Architecture You 

Can Seat On 


Ludwig Mies van der 

Rohe found an inspiration 

in folding chairs 

of Pharaohs and footstool 

of Romans of an 

X shape. Such shape 

corresponded with the 

principles of modern 

design and the usage 

of traditional as well 

as modern materials 

suited its functional 

purpose 

Ludwig Mies van der Rohe is one of the pioneers of 

modern architecture and one of the greatest and 

the most influential architects of the 20th century. 

The German Pavilion at the Barcelona Exhibition in 

1929, Farnsworth House in Illinois in 1950, Seagram Building 

in New York in 1958, are only few among many edifices 

by which he became famous. Mies van der Rohe 

was born in 1886 in Germany where he spent thirty years 

of his life, while other thirty years he spent in America. He 

became well known by his saying “Less is more”, keeping 

up with elegant minimalism and reducing architecture 

to the essentials: vertical and horizontal. He used to ironically 

call all those unnecessary ornaments “macaroni” 

and instead of the word “architecture” Mies preferred 

the expression “the art of building”. 

Throughout his last years in Germany, before he emigrated 

from Europe to USA, flying from Nazi in 1937, Mies van 

der Rohe held the position of the director of the famous 

Design School, the Bauhaus. Although postmodernists 

had changed his famous saying to “Less is – boring”, his 

influence, even today 38 years after his death, is equally 

strong. 

Barcelona states it clearly or, as the Time’s critic Richard 

Lacayo says, “classic modern furniture is once again 

popular including van der Rohe’s Barcelona chair made 

of chrome and leather, produced for that very exposition 

in Barcelona in 1929”. Having completed the design 

for the German Pavilion at the World Exhibition in Barcelona 

commissioned to him by German government, 

Mies and his partner Ms. Lilly Reich started to work on the 

furniture design for its interior. 

86 

A year after the Exhibition, Mies said about the chair: 

“The chair is a very difficult object. Everyone who has 

ever tried to make one knows that. There are endless 

possibilities and many problems – the chair has to be 

light, it has to be strong, it has to be comfortable. It is almost 

easier to build a skyscraper than the chair” (1930). 

If we recall all those glass skyscrapers which Mies van 

der Rohe had built it is hard not to believe him. Mies 

found an inspiration in folding chairs of Pharaohs and 

footstool of Romans of an X shape. Such shape corresponded 

with the principles of modern design and the 

usage of traditional as well as modern materials suited 

its functional purpose. 

In 1950, three years after Lily Reich had passed away, Mies 

re-designed the chair by using stainless steel which enabled 

that the whole frame could be made from one fluid 

piece of metal; that is the chair we know and see today. 

The Barcelona chair, also called the Pavilion chair, quickly 

became popular as a classic of modernism or a modern 

classic, and has remained in production ever since. 

But, although philosophically modernists of the mid 

20th century including Mies van der Rohe, generally 

subscribed to the idea that modern furniture should be 

accessible to the masses, both financially and aesthetically, 

the Barcelona chair is an exception to this rule. 

Materials as well as construction are too costly, and 

moreover the labour too intensive (just for the leather it is 

required 28 hours of highly skill labour) so that the chair is 

too expensive to be in broader usage: its average price 

is between $1500 and $3500. There are many producers 

of the chair (with or without licence) among which is the

A piece of cult 

Prosječna cijena Barcelone kreće se od 1500 do 3500 dolara / 

Average price of Barcelona is between $1500 and $3500 

most known Knoll (who were given exclusive manufacturing 

rights by the architect alone in 1953; every chair 

has Knoll Studio logo and famous architect’s signature 

imprinted on). 

Although Mies van der Rohe’s philosophy in accordance 

with Bauhaus is a desire that design should be 

functional and mass-produced for working class, on the 

first place was the usage of each item, the Barcelona 

chair even today – maybe as a paradox or as a subtle 

critic of functionalism – remains as an example how one 

functional object par excellence may be transformed 

into the sculpture.

Boja ljubavi za topliji dom 

A Colour of Love for a Cosy Home 

Crvena boja ostavlja dubok dojam na svakog čovjeka, 

ona pobuđuje različite osjećaje, uzbuđuje, 

podsjeća nas na ljubav, vatru, krv i revoluciju. Tu 

boju vole hrabre i radoznale osobe koje posjeduju 

jaku volju. Snažna, dramatična i motivirajuća boja, 

kao što je crvena, svakom domu dat će osjećaj topline 

i dobrodošlice. Mnoge studije su pokazale da 

se ljudi osjećaju toplije u sobama u kojima prevladava 

crvena boja. 

Nije ju preporučljivo koristiti u malim prostorima jer 

će prostor vizualno izgledati još manji. Omiljena je 

boja za blagovaonice jer stimulira apetit. 

Poseban šarm dat će prostoru u kombinaciji s metalom. 

Tepih, naslonjač, zavjesa ili omiljena šalica za 

kavu u boji ljubavi ponekad su dovoljni da se potakne 

duboko skrivena strast. 

Red colour leaves a strong impact on every man. 

It evokes different emotions; it excites, reminds on 

love, fire and revolution. Brave and curious, strongwilled 

persons like this colour. Powerful, dramatic 

and motivated colour, as red certainly is, will provide 

a sense of cosiness and welcoming in every 

home. Many studies showed that people felt warmer 

in a room with prevailing red colour. 

It is not recommendable for small spaces because 

it will make them visually even smaller. It is a favourite 

colour for dinning rooms because it stimulates 

an appetite. 

Red in combination with metal will give a special 

charm to the space. A carpet, an armchair, curtains 

or a favourite coffee cup in this colour of love 

will be sufficient to trigger a hidden passion.
