Velika Plaza, Montenegro

Client: Montenegro Government

Role: Masterplanning, Architecture, Landscape Architecture and Environmental Services

Creating a world-class resort destination by protecting the local ecology and preserving and enhancing natural resources.

Velika Plaza is a unique stretch of coastline spanning some 15 kilometres to the north of the Montenegrin border with Albania. The proposals centre around two major new towns, Porto Milena and Velika Plaza Town, and four additional small settlements to cater for around 45,000 inhabitants and visitors.

At the heart of the vision is a desire to preserve and maximise the ecology of the destination. World-class facilities such as a marina, specialist sports and leisure facilities, golf courses, hotels, spa, conference centre, casino, and hospitality academy will position Velika Plaza as an international holiday destination.

The project will provide much needed social and economic regeneration for the area and, in addition to catering for tourism, the proposals will include residential and commercial buildings, social and civic infrastructure as well as health and education provision for a sustainable community to live, work and play.
