Atelier Ten’s Post

We’re pleased to continue our successful collaboration with Howells, LDA Design and Sillage, coming third among the 46 entries in the international competition to #retrofit an old paper mill within the #BelgradeWaterfront into a museum honouring the life and work of Serbian-American engineer and inventor Nikola Tesla. Atelier Ten developed an MEP engineering and sustainability strategy based on bio-climatic principles, using groundwater cooling and heating. This would help remove the plant from the roof, creating accessible terraces for visitors and local residents. Our proposal also saw passive cooling and air intake through underground air ducts for the non-museum spaces, while the old chimney would serve as an exhaust, driven by the stack effect and negative pressure created by the wind. Congratulations to Zaha Hadid Architects on their winning proposal and all the other contestants!
