The MORpH project is a housing building/accommodation facility for officers/students of the Croatian Military Academy in Zagreb, Croatia. The program was to place a large number of units (88) and accompanying facilities on a very small plot and intervene in the historicist fabric. The vertical with a smaller floor plan ensures equivalent perimeter spaces and the opening of the ground floor.In the context of the milieu of the historical construction, contemporary intervention had to be imperative, as a contrast rather than a quasi or neo-architectural sublimation with tradition.
