Set in the leafy suburban fabric of Vrapče, Zagreb, this residential building was designed as a response to its neighborhood context. Surrounded by detached family houses, gardens, and mature vegetation, the project avoids the scale and anonymity often associated with multi-unit housing. Instead, it seeks to belong through fragmentation, proportion, and a close dialogue with landscape.

The building contains six apartments of varying sizes, organized across two levels. Rather than presenting itself as one continuous volume, the mass is carefully broken into smaller articulated forms. The façade shifts forward and backward, creating a rhythm of individual volumes that echo the scale of neighboring homes. This fragmentation softens the presence of the building and gives each apartment a stronger sense of identity.

Its dark mineral exterior allows the surrounding greenery to become the primary visual element. The architecture acts as a calm backdrop to trees, hedges, gardens, and seasonal change — green set against green. Balconies, recessed terraces, and private outdoor zones extend each home into the landscape while preserving intimacy and privacy.

The stepped site is used to create layered exterior spaces, parking access, gardens, and shared views without compromising the natural slope of the terrain. Each apartment benefits from generous openings, outdoor connections, and carefully framed relationships to the surrounding vegetation.
