TIPO – Technological Innovation Incubator Potpićan Municipality of Kršan, Potpićan

About project

The incubator in Potpićan involves the repurposing and reconstruction of a former industrial coal separation facility. A "middle-ground" approach to renovation has been proposed—partially preserving the existing structure while significantly adding a new layer tailored to future needs and functions. Spanning 9,000 m², the design features a modern façade, a public ramp encircling the building, and a green roof. A multifunctional hall is added at the top of the structure, intended for both incubator users and the local community.
