4_Towers
Zagreb
15° 59' 56'' E

The concept of the 4_Towers project affirms the typology of residential verticals. The towers, placed on a green base of a garden/park, allow a minimal coverage of the layout area, maximum impact of daylight and sunlight, increase ventilation and allow a view to all four sides of the world, all in attractive apartments with balconies. The site is divided into four equal zones, which also represent the phases of construction and allow rational planning of realization.
The landscape design, as an integral part of the basic concept, forms an urban garden, a green zone covering the plot with green hills hiding public spaces underneath. Exclusively pedestrian, the garden offers a space for socializing, children’s playgrounds and various uses depending on the season (picnics, sledding, sports, etc.). The greenery changes throughout the year and creates a wonderful natural scenery which can be enjoyed from all of the apartments in the towers.

Each tower has 24 floors, a central core with elevators and (fire) staircases. The simple construction of transverse walls allows a layout with installation verticals and sanitary nodes located close to the core. The rest of the layout is a flexible open space with balconies and loggias and unobstructed views of the surroundings. The number of apartments per floor drops towards the higher floors. The uppermost couple of levels are intended for penthouses.
The basic design element is a balcony, a filter between the apartment interior and the exterior space. The balconies extend throughout the whole length of the apartment on the façade and are subject to transformation by individual users.
