The house designed by the project team serves as a critique of Zagreb's General Urban Development Plan, opting for lower-density living spaces by reducing building volumes and encouraging communal areas. With each unit comprising only 180 m² rather than the permitted 600 m², the design promotes horizontal rather than vertical living arrangements, creating an integrative communal zone that emphasizes interaction. The architectural approach balances privacy with openness, using a threshold wall for separation while inviting natural surroundings into the living space, thus showcasing a new standard of urban decency.
The design of the house critiques traditional urban planning by prioritizing lower density and larger plots, creating a new standard of urban decency in Zagreb.
This project diverges from conventional norms by favoring smaller, horizontally arranged living units that foster community interaction while ensuring privacy and comfort.
A defining wall establishes a threshold, allowing for interactive spaces while contrasting openness towards greenery and city views with privacy and protection from the street.
By embracing a lower-density residential typology, the house transforms how urban living can function harmoniously with nature and community.
