DESCRIPTION
Zagreb 2008-2011 Familiy House Completed Dado Franješević, Lidija Seke
A house for a family of four, located on the very edge of the Medvednica mountain’s underfoot, in a relatively densely populated area, it fully considers all cardinal directions, orientation and privacy, and in pragmatic form reflects the character of the modern way of life. Resulting from this are the thought-out scenarios, ways of using certain functional units that are potentiated in their design. A functional disposition, a different character of the space, manifests itself on the house’s facades. The openings follow the sunlight during the day, or rather hide or reveal the view towards the house and from it. Seemingly random windows and associated sun protectors break the rigid volume of the house with their playful setup.

View of nature, hills and vineyards and south orientation are the starting points of the design process. Landscape and slope of the terrain define the location and the form of this family house. The result is an elongated, narrow, single story house on the top of the hill in which different functional components are lined hierarchically – from public to private, from the entrance, then the living room and the dining room and on the end the bedrooms. Dodging day and night tract created two terraces: a terrace with a south view of the scenery and the more intimate north terrace hidden from view. The living room and the bedrooms are located on the south side with a view and large openings, while the utilitarian rooms are north oriented with minimal openings. Functional disposition of the rooms and the area’s climate influences are reflected on the house’s exterior. The roof, north, east and west facade are uniformed in their design and materials, made of sheet metal and with small perforations, creating at the same time a cap and a contrast to the southern wooden open facade.

DESCRIPTION ISTRIAN SETTLEMENTS GENESIS YESTERDAY – Small settlements, villages tamely located in the scenery. In harmony with nature, inhabitants are engaged in traditional activities – agriculture (olives, vine…), animal husbandry and fishing.
TODAY – Modern way of life changes the appearance of the settlement. Due to faster urbanisation the villages look more and more like cities. The population is mostly a part of the tertiary sector, especially tourism and restaurants. Valuable agricultural areas and pastures become construction areas or in smaller extent survive as part of the settlement.
TOMORROW – Urban surroundings where the landscape is completely cultivated. Fields and gardens are parts of settlements in form of park surfaces where their purpose is to present tradition to tourists. CONCEPT
Due to urbanisation the assumption is that in the next 20 to 50 years the location will be surrounded by facilities (family houses, accommodation facilities...). The intention is not to “open” the house completely, but to create intimate areas like theme-yards. By separating individual functional units, micro-ambient areas are created where emphasis is on Istrian of Mediterranean flora.
FAREWELL PATH LOCATION YEAR PROGRAM
Hrvatsko Zagorje 2012 Integration of Support Facilities on Cemeteries Model
STATUS MENTORS
Master Thesis Renata Waldgoni, Andrej Uchytil
DESCRIPTION Arriving at the cemetery, expressing condolences, honouring the deceased and the burial are all phases articulated into spatial elements in this model and are, during the funeral process, experienced as a whole – a farewell path. The Integration of Support Facilities on Cemeteries Model is based on a transfer of a funeral procession’s linear flow into the space. THE ENTRY FACILITY represents the beginning of a farewell journey. Its architecture suggests an entry, a portal and the clear and uniformed design, which reminds of a wall, creates a physical and mental barrier between the world of the living and that of the dead. In it are, out of sight, all supporting facilities required for a functioning cemetery and for its maintaining. THE GARDEN SQUARE, the second element of the farewell journey, a field with irregularly planted trees on the terrain’s existing topography. Its appearance suggests unpredictability of life and the soothing atmosphere introduces visitors into the next step – parting with the deceased. In everyday life the garden square is a place of rest and contemplation. After the garden square follows THE FAREWELL PAVILION that is the main part of the funeral ceremony. Despite the importance and the central positioning its architecture does not dominate the cemetery or the surroundings. The farewell pavilion is an open structure, defined only by the vertical different seized trunks whose density varies depending on the content inside the pavilion and is emphasised by the horizontal plane of the roof. The setup and the density of the vertical trunks diminish the clear line between the outside area and the pavilion area. The last stage of the procession is THE CEREMONIAL SQUARE. This is a place of gathering after honouring the deceased and before the burial. Its architectural expression follows the language of the pavilion – the square is consisted of tall and slim columns that, after parting with the deceased, represent the next stage – hope of eternity. White columns on the square, aligned in a regular grid pattern, negate the vertical border with their height and slenderness and because of their sculptural character make the ceremonial square a memorial area.
CRAFT CENTRE LOCATION YEAR PROGRAM
Zagreb 2010 Solution to the Craft, City and Supporting Facilities of a Centre in Blato
STATUS CO-AUTHORS
Competition Entry, Honourable Mention Ivan Capan, Almir Ibrahimović, Nikša Laušin, Jurica Sinković
DESCRIPTION The centre is a transitional form between rod-like construction on the east and one-volume university hospital on the west side. In shape and form the building fits into the existing line which is what enables individual and undisturbed functioning of every group with its legitimacies and a very fast exchange of different ambiances. In harmony with a wider urban analysis of the city and its specific forms of construction, the building is divided in three functional segments. The old city core built in blocks is represented in the ground area of the building, typology of the square/park in the centre and the rod-like construction of Novi Zagreb in the highest area. Due to the spatial and volume size of the complex there is a need to return some of the stolen space so it finds its place in the centre of the building dividing it at the same time. The layout imprint of the building consists of six blocks on the lowest levels and those blocks have been modified so that the streets between them are narrowing towards the road and opening towards Sava River. The craft centre’s relation towards the road and the river has been modified both in the layout as well as vertically. The square volume is set out convexly or moved away from the road on the south front simply by moving of the marginal points and on the north front it is concavely approaching the river.

Virovitica 2011 City Centre Renovation and Redesign
STATUS
Competition Entry
CO-AUTHORS Iskra Filipović, Luka Vlahović DESCRIPTION Analysing the situation one can notice an idea of the park’s expansion in the shape of green pockets: greenery around the theatre, the green square in front of the church, the alley along the promenade and flower plantations alongside the entire centre. The relationship between the park and the green pockets has not been realised in full capacity due to them being separated by a road. With respect to the architectural and cultural-historical value of the park, the intention is to create a quality relationship with the city centre. By creating a new green pocket in the urban fabric of the city we achieve connectivity and emphasis of the core of the centre as a whole and the architectural-urban gesture, i.e. extracting a part of the park into the very centre, neutralises the visual and physical barrier and highlights the pedestrian access to the park. Existing buildings, built in different periods of time all have different characteristics and architecture values and do not make a clear spatial identity together. Therefore the logical answer is to uniform new buildings in order to stress the centre as a whole and create a new identity. The chosen form is adaptable and adjustable to the immediate context and with the similar prevalence creates the unity of the space. The planned houses are uniformed by the way of designing the volume, while the rest of the characteristics of the design are connected to demands of certain functions and influences of the immediate environment. A theme of the park appears in every house as an additional spatial quality.
MIROGOJ PARK LOCATION YEAR PROGRAM

STATUS CO-AUTHORS
Competition Entry, 3rd place Ivan Capan, Nikša Laušin
The solution approach is based on treating the location as a link between two DESCRIPTION opposite ambiances. On one side are the greenery, the serenity and the spirituality of Mirogoj and on the other is the busyness of the Zagreb’s wider city-centre area. In urban scale the parcel becomes a transition zone from one ambiance into another. The same situation is reflected in the very micro location, this time not only physically but mentally as well by presenting a path from the material towards the transcendental. Existing diversity of the content is united in design by diminishing clear boundaries between materials and treating the parterre as a fluid, comprehensive surface. Unity of the surface in use is achieved by using the same building element for flooring (granite blocks), while transition from one ambiance to another is achieved without a clearly expressed boundary, indicated only in slight changes in the parterre (width of the joint and type of the joint fillings). The communication network suggests using the previously unapproachable green islands in the park thus equalling new situations with the current one.

DESCRIPTION
As one of the breaches between two streets, this space has a potential to become another link between two important pedestrian corridors, not just physically but contextually as well. By observing the broader context of the given area, its position in Radićeva and Tkalčićeva Street’s linking system is clearly visible. The polyvalence of the space comes from connecting the content in Radićeva (galleries/antique stores/fashion studios/designer and architecture studies/Conservation Institute) and the urban life of Tkalčićeva Street (restaurants/bars/shops) and is consisted of two separate rooms which is what negates the envisioned connection between two adjacent streets. The project is based on exploring and re-examining spatial tensions, possibilities of flow/dividing the space in order to recreate the connection between two streets. The exploration is manifested in the form of an amorphous surface acting as an attractor, emphasising transience that also incorporates utilitarian components (sitting/niches for books and catalogues/niches for projectors/boxes for the sound system/lighting) and “hides” the service zone.
