Her dedication, sense of ownership, and warmth is why she is one of the true ambassadors of the construction team and the project. 1.Authenticity and sustainability are at the core of what Luštica Bay does – how is this reflected in the initial design process? We are building a town that is deeply rooted in and connected to Montenegrin culture; that alone is one of the key authentic elements. A self-sustainable and carefully planned town that is meticulously developed by a team of experts working collectively each step of the way. Luštica Bay has a bona fide approach to master planning, as we work on delivering all the essential needs for our residents. Every design detail reflects the richness of Montenegrin heritage, inspired by traditional fishermen villages and implemented with aesthetic functionality. Sustainability is at the root of the initial phases of master planning and continues to be reflected as we carefully study the building orientation in relation to climate aspects, while integrating the structures in the intricate terrain and nature, low density, building scale and forms, traffic solutions, archaeological sites preservations, and so on. We further base our design specifications on energy efficiency through the use of native plant species, locally sourced materials, waste treatment, smart irrigation systems, and renewable energy resources. Our environmental awareness and commitment to sustainability go beyond the aesthetic principles; they are weaved and integrated in every element of design, as we opt for valuable bioclimatic techniques and energy saving methods, including an organic approach to site planning, capitalizing on natural light, and cross-ventilation to state just a few examples.
