Competition for the Conceptual Urban and Architectural Design of a Residential and Commercial Complex within the 'City Housing' Project , Podgorica / Montenegro

 

Capital City of Podgorica

Njegoševa St., No. 13, Podgorica Montenegro

 

The subject of the competition is the development of an urban-architectural design for a residential complex with a focus on social and affordable housing. The design includes a comprehensive concept of spatial organization, a typology of apartments of different sizes, common and ancillary facilities, as well as the architectural form shaped in accordance with the principles of functionality, sustainability and inclusiveness.

 

More recent residential architecture in Podgorica, with rare exceptions, demonstrates a low level of spatial and design innovation. This situation is largely a result of systemic weaknesses in the urban planning process, further compounded by tight deadlines and limited budgets, which often results in apartments of modest quality and structures that degrade the urban environment.

 

One of the objectives of this competition is to show that even in conditions of limited resources, it is possible to achieve high-quality architectural solutions that meet the needs of residents and contribute to the image of the city.

 

Deadline for Submission: November 24, 2025
