Project BQ 696 (ST-1), «Privacity Split»
As the other two projects for the Split site, the starting point here was the intention to extend the centre towards the north and integrate Split peninsula connecting northern and southern sea front. Connecting the historical city with isolated nucleus of centrality on the competition site (stadium Poljud, Glavicine Turska Kula Park and other public buildings) is envisaged through the extension of Zrinsko-Frankopanska Street. Strong north-to-south axis would be accentuated by open spaces at regular distances that emphasise the path between different places, social realities and buildings. The open spaces form the courtyards, squares, public gardens and other points of interest that are distinguished and refined with the variety of imaginative urban equipment and accents such as vegetation, water, illumination, tree lines, grass and flower spots, water walls and fountains, etc.
Here also the «green banana» is recognised - natural belt stretching from Poljud across the Holy Trinity Church surroundings to Glavicine Turska Kula Park. In order to preserve this flow of nature, the architecture is concentrated on the north side of Put Supavla Street. High rise towers with modular housing units rest on "pedestals" - horizontal groundwork buildings that contain commercial and business facilities.
Project enhances the park and church surroundings mainly by landscape planning, but also suggests smaller-volumes buildings with appropriate contents- restaurants, cafés and shops.
