This proposal presents an ambitious vision for a coastal resort in Croatia, drawing inspiration from the Adriatic Sea's natural contours and Dalmatian cultural motifs. The design thoughtfully integrates various zones—including commercial centers, marinas, and recreational areas—connected by a main communication road that aligns with the existing masterplan roads. The emphasis on sustainable features, such as floating platforms for water collection and desalination, showcases a commitment to environmental considerations.
However, while the conceptual framework is commendable, the architectural detailing and material articulation remain underdeveloped. The project's reliance on symbolic references, like the "blue flag" of Croatia, could be further explored to enhance the narrative and user experience. Additionally, more detailed plans and sections would provide a clearer understanding of spatial organization and functionality.
Overall, "Miris Garden" offers a creative approach to coastal development, emphasizing cultural and environmental sensitivity. With further refinement in design execution and technical detailing, it has the potential to contribute meaningfully to the discourse on sustainable resort architecture.
