Project overview

This proposal aimed to intertwine a sustainable urban solution, contemporary architecture, and cultural and natural heritage values of the place. The proposed morphology of the overall buildings is inspired from the local nature heritage, more particularly the hills and mountains in the background and the river as an important element of the city. The geometries and patterns from local cultural and architectural heritage are used as inspiration for the material patterns of the façade

Project history

A proposed entry for an international design competition for 4.2 hectares of dense mixed-use development, initiated in 2024 by Swiss Construction, Prizren, Kosovo. The project overall is thought to be as a new reference point for the new part of the city and aims to set a new standard of urban development with a focus on people and community, in contrast to the existing, car-oriented developments. The urban development plan for the vacant lot is designed to be pedestrian-oriented, with vehicular movement limited to the perimeter or placed underground. The green areas exceed significantly the local urban codes.
