Nursing home in Bijelo Polje, Montenegro

The building is located in strong natural context, gaining its shape by looking up to mountain landscape surounding it. It is situated in a field-like area. That zone would have been cut in two parts if there was no passage-like opening in the middle of the building which allows the parts to breath together as one.
The materialisation was based on Montenegrin Norths architecture and inculdes mostly wood and structures made of it. Besides, in its basis is concrete structurated skelet, as much as possible glass surfaces (due to low Sunlight exposure caused by its location), and steel (the bridge).
