Residential and Commercial Complex in Podgorica
Selected project
-
The project investigates a distinctive yet restrained architecture, deeply rooted in its local context,
balancing creativity and functionality within realistic economic constraints. A clear architectural language
engages with the territory while addressing contemporary living needs.
The quality of collective housing is central to the proposal, with carefully organized spaces that enhance the relationship between buildings, green areas, and the surrounding landscape. Shared spaces are conceived
to support social interaction, safety, and a sense of community.
Flexibility guides the design of housing units and interiors, allowing adaptation to different household
structures and social needs. This approach enables the residential complex to evolve over time, promoting
an accessible, inclusive, and sustainable model of living.
