The Valdibora area is located north of Rovinj's old town and represents a transition zone between different city structures. The wild development and wild nature, the historical heritage and the topography are the qualities of the building site that we took into account for the design.

The idea was to group several units around a horizontal plane that serves as a communal area. The plane intersects the units at different heights, creating separations and connections from public to private space. The units are multi-storey towers measuring 12x12m where the circulation is designed as an extension of the living space to the outside. The circulation becomes part of the semi-private area and is designed as a loggia that is shared with the neighbors. Each apartment is oriented on at least three sides and has a semi- and a private open space.
