PERSONAL ACHIEVEMENTS:
SECTION B
-master plan and student center
design
-board design for the project presen-
ta on
-project reached the final round of
the compe on.
CONCEPT
The basic idea was to develop a
design that could preserve as much
“green” park space as possible. The
proposal takes each of the facility
buildings and simply organizes them
around an ‘organic core’. The func-
on of this is further op mized with
the loca on of the ‘Student Centre’
directly in the middle of the plot,
crea ng a communal gathering
area. The university building should
dip down in the South corner of the
site and raise to its highest point in
the North. This will allow for light to
penetrate the park space as well as
making an opportunity of crea ng a
roofscape accessable to pedestri-
ans.
ARCHITECTURAL APROACH
The idea for the overall architectural
dialogue was derived from under-
standing pedestrian flows to and
from the site. The aspira on was for
a logical development that allows
users to flow under, through and
around its buildings. This con nuous
sloping structure that starts at the
South end with two levels and ends
with six levels at the North is divided
along its central axis by a long glazed
MASTER PLAN atrium into two parallel stripes.

PROJECT GOALS:
To build a new, modern hotel of 5
stars on the place of the old hotel,
which will meet the needs of de-
manding clients. Although it should
be a modern hotel, it should also re-
flect the architectural tradi ons of
Montenegro. Architecture of the
hotel need to a ract permanent
guests as well as tourists in its res-
taurants and entertainment areas.
SITE CHARACTERISTICS:
The loca on of hotel "Igalo" has an
irregular trapezoidal shape. On the
north side is local street with less in-
tensity, and on the southern side is
street with more intensity, and
through it hotel looks on the beach
and sea. The terrain is slightly
uneven, and the height difference
between the two streets is 5m. On
the east and west side of loca ons
are neighboring lots, with a low
storey buildings. On east side of the
site there is a natural stream, which
flows from north to south.

CONCEPT
9.POOL BAR 5.ROYAL SUITE The basic idea was to open the facil-
ity as much as possible to the sea,
and thus symbolically introduce
coastline into hotel. This was ac-
complished with two tracts set in a
V-shape, and spread towards the
sea. The main entrance to the hotel
is between the two tracts, and to it
we introduced a new local street,
which is connected to the main
street.
Within the hotel complex "Igalo" we
defined areas for the following pur-
poses:
-Space for a restaurant
-Space for a shopping center
-Space for a delivery and technical
func ons of the building
-Space available for accommoda on
units
-Free and green spaces
-Traffic areas
For facade of the hotel, the inspira-
on was found in the surroundings
of the loca on and architectural tra-
di ons of Montenegro, and so the
choice fell on vegeta on and stone.
Stone is used in the podium levels
and core walls, and vegeta on is
used on all typical floors.
