An extraordinary demand for building plots in the outskirts of Zagreb, combined with the lack of taste and residential culture or relevant milestones of housing legacy, resulted in the 1990’s in an unprecedented hunger for square meters, accompanied by the reckless pollution of domestic environment. This became even more obvious on the steep terrains, fully revealing the speculative forces in their utmost radiance. Thus we proposed:
Residential Settlement Rural Mat Another attempt to interpret the urban rules in order to avoid the "urban villa" syndrome. In a peaceful scenery of the former village of Markusevec which grew over the years to become a part of the city, the Russian client asked for a middle-class residential settlement. The general urban layout respects the rooted paths leading to the center of the village. The housing units are accumulated along these lines. A public playground is set as the terminal point on the other end of the route. Taking the rural scale as a point of departure, the typology of semi-detached houses has been recombined into a series of compact rural mats – flat, introverted, and dense. Lots are not regular but tailored to meet the area of 600 m² minimum. The setbacks of the second floor are generated by the rule for the maximum attic area that limits the surface to the 75% of the typical floor. By avoiding to have such a typical floor, an arithmetical average of the two lower floors could be taken. By the virtue of this manipulation a bigger amount of square meters could be achieved. Subsequently, the setbacks differ from house to house and directly reflect the mathematics, rather than design. Carports, patios, terraces and dwellings are all contained within the clearly outlined limits. An effort to maintain the qualities of individual housing in the group – more congested and less land-consuming. H.N. Hrvoje Njiric, born 1960 in Zagreb, Croatia.
