Kindergarten, Sesvetski Kraljevec
Educational buildings nowadays take the role of main public and urban areas in the neighbourhoods
and cities. They are the generators of common public life. The main goal of the project was to
create a place where the children from the village will be able to tell their stories. Each step of the
plot is functionally defined. The narrow communication block stands between the zone with
common spaces and the teaching units. Every unit is self-ufficient and allows the children to design
their own micro world while still being connected to one another.

Motel Trogir 2.0
Extension and
renovation of
cultural heritage - by
architect Ivan Vitic
The project based on the revitalization of a
1965 motel complex reexamines the
potential of a former lively location with
the aim of valorising the wider area. In the
case 2.0, the protected Motel Trogir,
currently a non-place, subtly changes and
builds up its appearance through a kind of
replication, based on fixed decisions to
build and/or not to build. The theme of the
module which inspires the asymmetric
composition, with the facade in bas relief,
creates order based on disorder.
The unstable limits create voids and, at
the same time, define a structure which
can endure the 'vibrations' needed for the
existence and persistence of a truly urban
environment.

Rogoznica development
study and plan
This project deals with further extension
of Rogoznica, Croatia built area and it only
makes sense if a special urban quality will
be made as a contrast to the existing
urban sprawl of holiday houses and tourist
apartment blocks.
New urban structures offer several kinds
of 'products' or investment opportunities,
each providing the most out of location, by
balancing the size of plots and buildings,
urban density and the amount of the
public or common infrastructure and
facilities. This urban plan concept, as a
result of the study, proposes five different
urban structures: seaside villas,
haciendas, townhouses, village houses
and a hotel, forming a combination of
various urban experiences.

Pazar, Split - main food market
The project is located in a privileged place just underneath the walls of the ancient Diocletian
Palace in Split, next to the port and the waterfront. There was finally an opportunity in the
city to reactivate and balance the activities in the historic center which was until now
immersed in the problem of depopulation due to the progressive deterioration of commercial
activity in this area. The main goal was to keep the daily local life on the market while
keeping an representative image for the city.
Set of porches was formed next to the open market under the existing trees. Other porch was
positioned around the Monastery which is also to be rebuilt. The zone with stands was placed
towards the port acting as a filter between a great mass of people passing to the waterfront
and the void for the new market. Visual connections were kept from every angle and existing
pedestrian routes were reactivated. All working places were kept and reorganized forming a
better and polyfunctional local community.

Hill Villas, Klis, Croatia
On the outskirts of the city of Split there was a need in building a neighbourhood from it's very beginning.
Setting the standards for the rest of the 30 villas was one of the goals. Simplicity in form, delight in the
experience, and serenity in appearance are vital for a building to avoid energy- and resource consuming
reconstruction and demolition. The 4-bedroom villas will accommodate tourist during the summer and
families during the rest of the year. The garden outside and the view towards the city is constantly
present. The interiors are subtle yet luxurious.

Medical faculty extension_research laboratory
When the part of the existing medical faculty building became unusable an instant need for
new spaces resulted in a container faculty. The containers serve as classrooms, laboratories
for medical research and offices.
One of the main goals was to make the new building as much energy efficient as possible. A
special collaboration was held between all technicians in order to make best possible use out
of every part of the new wing of the faculty.
A stack of empty containers was put on the southern and western facade in order to keep the
strong sun away. An adaptable space with zero hierarchy was the concept of the design and
it is currently under construction.
