RIO

Residential-commercial building RIO

Residential office building on the site of the former RIO clothing industry. The concept includes two underground floors of garages, offices on the ground floor and apartments arranged in three residential towers. This project is the result of exploring the possibility of a new interpretation of the motif of the Rijeka residential skyscraper, the dominant spatial element in the areas of accelerated urban expansion in the post-war period.

We designed the project in collaboration with the Rubing Architectural Office.

Tri stambene građevine

3 apartment buildings


Requirements:  The brief called for 3 apartment buildings with three apartments per house, one on each floor. Once detached suburban area of Rijeka, the site transformed in the last 30 years into premium housing zone with magnificent sea view of the Kvarner bay. Once we received the project brief and visited the site, we realized that it offers unique opportunity to provide each apartment with the private garden. The client recognized that this system adds unexpected quality to the apartments and accepted the proposal.
