Idea projektu

PURPOSE OF CENTER
The assignment of the architectural study is to create a proposal for a commercial center for a planned resort on the coast of Croatia. The center should have smaller shops and markets (supporting local sellers), several restaurants (traditional, pizzeria, bar, cafe, ...), a place for administration and possibly other services. The building has specified distances from roads and a height limit of 11 m.

Popis projektu

URBANIST SOLUTION
Within the resort, the center is located in a hollow between the villas, directly above the park/campsite. The topography of the terrain indicates the main direction of the views to the southwest directly to the sea. The high ground elevation makes it possible to place the entrances to the individual floors directly from the ground. The commercial center has the main entrances (roads) towards the sea at the level of the 1st floor, then it descends along the terrain into a hollow that stretches to the port. There are several parking spaces located along the building, lining the road that circles the entire center. There is another important entrance from the northeast side (furthest from the sea), but it does not serve tourists, but people who work in offices, so the visitor is not forced to go around the entire center, but has all services accessible from the port.

ARCHITECTURAL SOLUTION
The commercial center is designed according to a terrain drawing, both in plan and mainly in height. The center consists of three buildings connected by outdoor roads, it does not act like 3 separate buildings but as one unit - a hexagon, which is based on the shape of a spiral. We can see the spiral not only in the ground plan (snail shape), but also spatially within the floor plan, when at the main approach to the center the building starts with the 2nd floor and the 1st floor, continues to the building with the 1st floor, 1st basement floor and 2nd basement floor. There are 4 floors in total, but they are set in the terrain. The center near the main access road begins as a "shopping street" - shops, bistro, cafe, etc. They are accessible from the outdoor sidewalk on both sides of it (this forms a typical street). Further on, the sidewalk turns until you come to the large staircase leading to the outdoor atrium, the "square", in the 1st basement floor. It is a gathering area surrounded by restaurants and with a great view of the sea. However, it is not a large concrete area, but there is an opening in the floor, under which the original terrain already leads towards the marina.

LAYOUT SOLUTION
The first floor surrounding the mentioned shopping street is used for small shops, an ice cream shop, a bistro, a cafe and a bowling bar. Public toilets and a staircase with a lift to the next floor are located in the middle of the layout. Half of the 2nd floor is intended for administration with its own entrance from the ground, and the other half, accessible to visitors via the stairs and elevator just mentioned, serves as a relaxation/beauty zone – hairdresser‘s, massages, yoga gym. The floor around the large atrium (1st basement floor) provides gastronomy and entertainment - a pizzeria, restaurant, bar with karaoke and a podium with facilities. There are also other public toilets here. The last floor (2nd basement) is poorly lit due to the terrain passing from the 1st basement floor down to the marina, so the gym and refreshment windows are chosen here. At the edges (already with more lighting) there is a sports equipment store that also serves as a equipment rental, there are toilets and changing cabins for tourists who come, for example, in bathing suits from the sea to dinner at the local restaurant. The last service on this floor is the children's corner, where there are facilities for older and younger children with a separate rest room.

STRUCTURAL AND MATERIAL SOLUTIONS
The buildings are designed as a reinforced concrete skeleton with reinforced concrete basement walls and foundations in the form of a full-surface base plate. According to local conditions, we do not consider thermal insulation. The materials used on the external appearance of the facade are deeply structured plaster of a light color (white with a touch of beige) and wooden cladding from slats between the windows. Window shading in the form of wooden rotating and sliding panels together with the cladding form long wooden strips on the facade that run around the entire center. Some parts of the facade are supplemented with vegetation (in places where the terrain rises and falls along the facade). The third material/color is the dark aluminum frames of shop windows and windows. The windows are selected in the same grid as the shop windows (they have awnings instead of wooden shading). There are two types of windows of the same height (low parapet, extending to the lintels), but of different widths (mainly used wide windows, replaced by narrow strips where needed).
