Development by Make in Montenegro
Montenegro Luxury Resort Design Contest
9 Nov 2009
Make wins Montenegro five star luxury resort design competition
Make has won a closed competition to masterplan and design a new luxury
resort on Montenegros Adriatic coast, beating off competition
from Foreign Office Architects, MVRDV and Heatherwick Studio.
Montenegro has a fast growing tourist industry, buoyed by the countrys
appearance in the recent James Bond movie Casino Royal
and exclusive beach performances by Madonna and the Rolling Stones.
The number of visitors to the area is expected to triple over the
next six years; Makes winning design targets the upper echelons
of this market.

Proposals for the resort capture the unique spirit of the site and
include a branded luxury hotel and residential apartments, private
access to a secluded beach, extensive leisure facilities and a selection
of restaurants and bars, all set within a stunning cliff top location
that boasts spectacular views.
Makes concept takes advantage of the sites challenging
topography and transforms it into a dramatic design feature; three
landmark crystalline beacons sit 100m above sea level, offering panoramic
views of the Adriatic coast and linking visually with a fourth beacon
located in the sea; in between these diamonds are three
clusters of residential buildings. The gradient is further exploited
by the creation of a series of shielded and secluded areas which accommodate
a variety of leisure, spa and wellness amenities.
Guests will be able to access all facilities within the resort by
either a funicular railway that runs down to the beach, or a treetop
walkway which loops through the canopy of trees offering a unique
perspective on the natural environment. The whole resort is bound
together through sensitive landscaping and is designed to be as self-sufficient
as possible. A stream will also link each element, cascading down
the hill from an infinity pool and culminating in a rock pool on the
beach. This will lend itself to the use of micro hydro-power, thus
adding to the schemes overall energy efficiency and ultimately
reducing the running cost of the development.
Bibiana Zapf said: This is a dream project for any architect.
The location is truly unrivalled and DC Invest has a bold and brave
vision for the scheme which will capitalise on the countrys
burgeoning tourism industry. We are looking forward to progressing
with the design and masterplan.
