Šmerlis

Two-stage competition, 2nd place, 2024

The project is inspired by its natural surroundings. Located next to a forest with winding paths, the new neighborhood integrates this greenery into its design, enhancing inward and outward connectivity with the environment.
Proposal goals include creating a diverse and vibrant area, offering interesting viewpoints throughout the neighborhood, maximizing walkability, and minimizing the number of car streets. This approach encourages pedestrian movement and fosters a strong connection between the existing natural surroundings and urban living, providing residents with a balanced and enjoyable living experience.
