Ložionica's revitalization project transforms Belgrade's historic railway site through adaptive reuse and new structures, offering a unique mix of offices, public spaces, and cultural programs within a challenging urban context. The site represents a few of the remaining industrial heritage mementos of the Belgrade riverfront area, which has been undergoing significant urbanization over the past few decades. This led to the announcement of an open architectural competition in 2021 by the Office for IT and eGovernment of the Republic of Serbia and the national platform Serbia Creates, organized by the Association of Architects of Serbia. The brief asked for a new home for all creative industries to meet under one roof, a multifunctional open public space, and the addition of one new mixed-use office building.

Summer Houses / AKVS architecture

Four summer houses are set in Montenegro mountains, just a few kilometers away from the Adriatic sea. The project explores the potentials of open habitable spaces in relation to the common notion that only enclosed areas are considered as spaces to live in, occupy or own. As an innovative response to strict building regulations (minimal enclosed area required), AKVS architects turn the building inside-out. Instead of having many closed rooms and one open terrace, they designed one enclosed space and several open and semi-open areas, in this way blurring the boundary between habitable space and its natural surroundings, and directly engaging the architecture with its environment.
