Royal Gardens Budva

One of the most architecturally beautiful buildings on the Montenegrin coast, the work of famous architects Branislav Mitrović and Jelena Kuzmanović, is shaped like an abstract form of a ship, with particularly emphasized terrace elements such as decks and vertical gardens.

The curved line of the facade meanders in the part towards the sea, and reaches its maximum in a circular form at the corner towards the highway. The designers point out that the author’s intention was to “achieve a different spatial concept in the urban density of the center of Budva, which with its architectural form and structural organization of spatial levels brings new quality and depth to the found context”. The abstract form enters into a direct dialogue with the found context using the universal language of architecture. The materialization and geometry of the object creates a contrast to the fragmentation of the urban area of Budva, while the terraced gardens establish a correlation with the natural landscape and tradition of the Mediterranean coast, maquis, the coast and the open sea.

The open shape of the base enables a dynamic organizational scheme, a spacious view from all rooms, as well as the grouping of service contents around the central stair cores. Each residential unit is oriented towards the open sea and has a deep canopy to protect against the strong summer sun. Each apartment also contains an element of native coastal greenery, mimosa, oleander, lavender or lemon, which frames the view in the line of the terraces, whose surface is divided into a paved and grassy part.

Montprojekt carried out complete works on low and extra-low voltage installations, electric drive, 10/0.4 kV substation, decorative facade lighting on the building.
