About Studio
3LHD is a collaborative architectural studio, particularly interested in the integration of architecture, art, and (urban) landscape, an approach which has resulted in a series of projects and realizations in Croatia and abroad. 3LHD has an integrative approach to projects and believes that in addition to functional, architecture must respond to many other issues. Basic principles of the practice are woven into the modernity of the early 21st century.
Our design approach is each time with different realities, and with many different parameters that we give ourselves and which are given to us, it is integral, analytical, and iterative. It is based on modification of opinions of different people, that we seek to bring into production, these are various specialists, experts in various areas, and with them we try to achieve highest quality.
This is where our approach is like that of a producer and we often bring ourselves in the role of a director or a DJ who performs the best editing. In such a way we investigate the most appropriate concept and try to create new value. We always make a kind of a prototype, which is sometimes, like in automobile industry, a redesign, and sometimes a research undertaking.

House V2 is located in Dubrovnik, in the urbanized area of Lozice determined by steep topography made up of retaining walls. Stone walls and altitude differences were used as the basis for laying new topographic layers. A gently undulating roof plate follows the internal structure of the building and defines the body of the house which is incorporated into the landscape by its geometry.
The simple forms with their materials and white stone facades are in accordance but also in contrast to the drywall. The design concept was to create a house open to nature but sufficiently protected against the climate. A quality view is utilized with large windows on the facades.
The house is developed in levels – the entrance is on the top floor, parking area next to the street, other activities are organized in split levels: bedrooms with bathrooms, parents’ bedroom with a dressing room and a bathroom, living and dining area, kitchen, service spaces, lounge and space for children to play. Living and dining rooms have a direct connection with a partially covered terrace with an outdoor pool. The landscape is also designed in several levels connected by stairs that go down to the sea.
The facade and the roof are clad in white stone plates; large windows are partially recessed into the volume and open the house towards the sea ensuring a pleasant shade in the interior. Terraces are paved with stone and teak planks and all surfaces are planted with indigenous plants and executed in materials adapted to the area and climate.
