COEXISTENCE
Project description
COEXISTENCE is a place where athletes and nature meet. Located along the Sava River, four low-rise buildings invite the landscape to flow through them. By integrating multiple sustainable strategies, the project succeeds to become part of the local ecosystem. A complete waterfront strategy connects the Academic Yachting Club to the new buildings and enhances green mobility, resulting in a place where sports, nature, and architecture exist as one.
