Luxury Camping
Premium Camping Zadar
From camping to glamping: The complex conversion, which included the refurbishment of run-down sanitary facilities and the construction of a new top-class restaurant and wellness building that offers a wide range of leisure options, has transformed the five-star premium camping facility in Zadar into one of the big players on the Croatian holiday market.
The Austrian tourism company Falkensteiner commissioned us to upgrade the run-down “Camp Borik” so that it could occupy a leading position on the Croatian hotel and camping market. The challenging conversion of the existing complex into a five-star campsite required the refurbishment of the sanitary areas and the construction of a series of premium service facilities.
In design terms, we paid particular attention to underlining the philosophy of camping, of living in the open air, through the creation of high-quality architecture.

The sculptural design, with its “fragmented” and broad, cantilevered roofs, establishes a fascinating dialog between the architecture and the surrounding nature. The powerful forms of the buildings allow them to be seen from afar and act as elements of orientation in the constantly changing topography of the camp. The blurring of the boundaries between inside and outside creates unique spaces, which absorb the idyllic natural environment without harming it in any way The richly shaped roof elements and glazed areas of facade provide maximum levels of daylight. This powerful geometrical design also defines the restaurant and wellness complex, which combines with the landscape of pools to form the centerpiece of the camp.
Our Falkensteiner Premium Camping Zadar offers impressive proof that camping must not embody any contradiction between glamour and a love of nature.
