a transparent palace on the historical axis
The new building of the State Audit Institution of Montenegro is a compact building volume that follows the building lines and at the same time is morphologically connected to the geometry of the surrounding buildings with the notch of the intermediate vertical hall. The hybrid typology of the business palace combines a low pavilion part on the ground floor, open directly to atriums with a mediterranean garden, and a vertical urban hall that runs through all floors. This works as a generator of communication between employees, as all workplaces are visually connected to each other. The flexibility of the work space is achieved with a variable configuration of workplaces, which is provided by an open floor plan without structural supports – the entire building is supported by two reinforced concrete cores on which the steel structure of the floor rests.
