Our design for Ložionica / Ложионица has won Grand Prix in the Architecture category at Balkanski arhitektonski bijenale/ Balkan Architectural Biennale, among more than 250 entries from Romania, Albania, North Macedonia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Montenegro, Slovenia, and Serbia!
For us, this award belongs to so many people who made Lozionica happen.
Lozionica is the result of an incredible collaboration among many dedicated teams and individuals, expert consultants, engineers, craftsmen, and creators over the past 5 years... From envisioning the entire concept within the ruins of the original site and organizing the architectural competition, through challenging detailed design documentation development, interior design development, and a very inspiring and intense construction process, to witnessing real life finally taking place within the spaces we imagined... For us, this process was an experience of a lifetime; we learned so much from all the incredible people we met along the way.
And now, finally, Ložionica is officially open to the public! 😊
