Buzanova Apartments is a new housing block developed by 3LHD, the architecture, and urban planning studio, in cooperation with the client, VMD model. This residential apartment building is situated in the center of Zagreb, the capital city of Croatia, five minutes walking distance from Kvaternik Square, in a quiet street with an abundance of greenery, but within reach of the amenities that this lovely Croatian city has to offer.

The architectural concept of this residential building is inspired by the pure form of Zagreb Lower Town blocks. With classic elegance and proportion of openings, the block consists of two volumes on the corner of two peaceful, urban green streets.
A load-bearing façade and central structural cores with staircases allow flexible and adaptable apartment floor plans. Therefore, apartment designs can be easily transformed and personalized according to the client’s ideas.
Large window openings positioned within emphasized frames are the key style feature of the facade design. The idea behind these large openings that combine windows, balconies, and loggias was to create interiors flooded with natural light that provide beautiful views. Reinforcing the purity of the structure’s form, the facade features only two materials: aluminum window frames and ceramic tiles.
This residential design project offers a higher standard of living, apart from spacious high-end apartments and large windows, it has additional specific features. The ground floor with commercial, retail and hospitality amenities is public, while the entrance lobbies for residents are separate and private.

Each of the entrance spaces is painted with a mural done by a selected young Croatian artist, further enhancing the artistic element of the living experience. A parking garage for all of the residential units and commercial spaces is located underground, together with other service and technical facilities and storage units.
