Brandiranje ‘UNASANA’ (naming, vizuelni identitet, web, SEO, turističke ture) je dio aktivnosti koje će pridonijeti izgradnji identiteta destinacije, boljoj promociji, podizanju kvalitete usluge i jačanju konkurentnosti sektora turizma. Kreiranjem vizualnog identiteta destinacije započet je planirani proces podizanja svijesti. Proizvodi i usluge sa oznakom UNASANA ispunjavaju sve kriterije održivog poslovanja u zaštićenom području da bi bili što prepoznatljiviji i svojom kvalitetom jedinstveni u regiji.

Osmišljavajući ovaj logotip uzeli smo u obzir sva obilježja područja poput planina, slapova i kulturnog nasljeđa. Zadatak nam je bio razviti cijelu priču, tj. osim glavnog logotipa osmisliti i tzv. podetikete kao što su smještaj, gastronomija, avantura, kulturno nasljeđe i drugi.

Sam naziv label-a ‘UNASANA’ izabran je jer kao riječ ima jedinstveno značenje, potrebnu melodičnost i predstavalja glavna obilježja ove turističke regije.

THE PIN On the existing structure of the tower a simple sphere is being added, metaphorically creating a PIN, or PRIBADAČA, instantly marking the location, creating a landmark of the neglected surrounding. The PIN is universal symbol, putting the cultural scene of the town and region on the map, it is sort of physical manifestation of point of reference.

MEDIA PIN The sphere, the PIN is made of steel construction with translucent material (for example ETFE membrane), armed with couple of beamers or LED diodes, which transforms the sphere into MEDIA PIN, big spherical display able to project any kind of artistic, commercial, textual content on it. It can be combined with audio support, so it could host any kind of events, visual, musical, commercial. It is an interactive media, providing people possibility to display their messages, opinions, statements, even marriage proposals. The MEDIA PIN itself represents a new way to exhibit art and to reach more people. The interior of the sphere provides a very particular spatial atmosphere, and could be used again for variety of the functions, such as lecturing, exhibiting, beamer projections, or as the observation deck.

Today's harsh and uncontrolled raids on the free urban areas do not leave us much of such space and this is the reason why the design of such an object has to be approached with much ATTENTION AND RESPECT.

Taking into account these facts, we have decided to design an object that will be the SYNTHESIS OF INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR SPACE, an object inviting to enter it and consume it - OPEN HOUSE.

To really make an OPEN HOUSE we use the perfect circular shape of the location and in its outer edge we design a circular ramp up to max 5%. The ramp extends from the entrance lobby up to the first floor and continues all the way up to the roof. It is conceived as an UNINTERRUPTED CIRCULAR LINE on which it can be continuously communicated from ground floor to roof and back.

Inspiration can always be found in the famous Wright Guggenheim Museum where the visitor simply gets TRAPPED IN THE INTERIOR so skillfully guided through the space that one simply does not want to leave, always returning to the beginning and always with the same desire to go back again because the beginning and the end are make the PERFECT CIRCLE.

The Ramp offers BEAUTIFUL SEQUENCES of the surrounding park where the fragments are captured in the frames making beautiful pictures that are repeated at an EQUAL RHYTHM where each one is both different and at the same and all that circular through ALL FOUR SEASONS.

In addition to this permanent exhibition the "FRAGMENTS OF NATURE", ramp offers a variety of use: exhibitions, presentations, bike tours, children's races, slides and etc.

A special segment of this solution is the USABLE FLAT ROOF that we simply had to put into function of this MEETING POINT. These additional m2 will always find its application and will always have support when it comes to an object such as an Austrian house.

On the ground floor, besides the entrance windshield and the exhibition area, there are also administration rooms, coffee bar with block kitchen, bathroom and communication. On the first floor are workshops, cabinets, auxiliary rooms, sanitary facilities and communications.

The facade of the building is a COMBINATION OF FULL AND EMPTY (GLASS) combination of full and empty (glass) surfaces that emphasize the shape of the circle in an equal rhythm and somewhat resemble the famous Colosseum in Rome, where in this case it is an ARENA OF CULTURE, ART, ENTERTAINMENT, SCIENCE.

The building, with its architecture and applied materials UNOBTRUSIVELY MERGES WTH SURROUDING AND THE PARK as if it had always been its integral part.

The fassade is designed as a attention-seeker and it offers to the whole area a recognizible identity. The four departments of the School are formed as four outstanding boxes, which are also kept physically apart and thus creating clear functional structure. Between the boxes is the open space, to be used for diverse exhibitions and presentations. The exhibition space is being constantly differently perceived, that leads to different use possibilities. One of the important approaches is the flexible use of walls and various space situations creating a vareity of possibilities for art installations, video projections and other artistic expressions.
Indirect lighting is being enhanced, which makes the best setting for doing and exhibiting art. This is further emphasized by the materials being used, as translucent and opaque materials are carefully placed and are giving to the space a neutral atmosphere. Aditional lightening comes through a gap on the roof, reflecting and falling inside. This causes different spatial and lighting situations, which makes the whole open space exciting and inspirational.
