Located between St. Anastasia's Cathedral and the Archeological Museum in Zadar, the building, which is formerly Bruno Milić's office and a housing complex from 1964, has been converted into 37 rooms with 111 beds. The existing spatial limits were transformed using new drywall geometries, color rasters, rhythmic patterns of ceramic tiles, glossy varnishes, acrylic reflective boards, and tinted mirrors, to create a new relation toward the antique, modernistic heritage. The program gradually transitions from the private to the public – with the continuous hallway of the chat room, the installed courtyard pavilion which becomes a meeting place where guests and tenants can exchange their global/local experiences, and in the cafe located on the intersection of the Cardo and the Decumanus, where people can find their own place to stop and reflect.
