The Salt Tower in Budva, Montenegro by Enforma and AIM Studio is projected to open this year as an eco-friendly condominium. This unique design will have 95 percent of all of its apartments directly facing the south seaside and beautiful Budva beaches. It will be designed as an energy efficient structure with solar panels, natural ventilations systems, smart home systems, high technology appliances and PV panels. Enforma and AIM Studio are accounting for the occupants' needs as well as the environment's by constructing this building so it has a small carbon footprint.
The Salt Tower's exterior has prism-shaped elements that compare to the basic properties of salt. This tower will include a kindergarden, bank, restaurant, spa, swimming pool and aerobics gym. The architectural design will have a one-sided sloped roof that is common to many of the buildings in Budva, Montenegro. The company's objective is to design a building that would work around what Budva offers in terms of its scenery and historical background.
