Production and Office Building Dubrovcan

Dubrovčan, Croatia

MVA / Mikelic Vres Arhitekti

Zagreb, Croatia, 2026-07-15 - 

The new production and office building is located in Dubrovčan, a village northwest of Zagreb, which is characterized by a rural, natural landscape. Situated in an area rapidly transforming into a small-business and industrial complex, the plot was originally used as a construction-waste landfill.


By remediating the landfill, the plot has been revived, creating a new topography, a new nature. Following the natural slope of the land, three mounds were formed on the site, defining the central space and pedestrian access paths. Technical, production, and shared spaces are arranged within the mounds and oriented toward the pedestrian path connecting them.


A horizontal disk is anchored in this unstable context. A simple single-story volume with a square floor plan, organized around a central circular atrium, is positioned on the three greened mounds. Both neutral and specific, the building draws the natural landscape in, creating unexpected spatial sequences.

 

The interior of the disk is organized as a dynamic, horizontal working environment, consisting of office spaces of different types and characters. The sequence of plans and transparent surfaces is used to enhance user interactions and intensive relations with the outdoor space. Along the outer facade, closed offices are arranged with corner meeting rooms and niches for group work, opening the central space towards the landscape.


Wrapped around the atrium, this main communication space contains the entrance, reception, hot-desk workstations, a circular presentation hall, and a small auditorium, which extends toward the multifunctional common space and the outdoor terrace in the basement. A spiral staircase connects this space with a small rooftop pavilion, terrace, and running track.

 

The structural system consists of two prestressed concrete slabs connected by a series of peripheral V-shaped columns, four reinforced concrete cores, and freely positioned groups of inclined columns. The large structural spans allow for flexible space organization with lightweight, non-load-bearing, and demountable partitions.

 

The building creates its own context, simultaneously entering into dialogue with the surrounding nature and the newly built neighboring environment. With the continuous landscape extending beneath the building, the atrium becomes the central point of both the interior and exterior spaces, blurring the boundaries between them.
