Construction Concept

Architectural Concept

The architectural concept of OKOL Lake Park is inspired by the spirit of freedom, community, belonging and accessibility.

OKOL’s architecture is modern, minimalist and functional, characterized by clean details, natural light, feeling of openness and focus on the living space quality.

The concept offers exceptional flexibility, allowing everyone to discover their own style, taste and perception of home.

At OKOL Lake Park every home is unique due to the diverse landscape and the customized architectural solutions. All buildings and interior spaces are oriented towards the most beautiful views.

The state-of-the-art interiors are developed in following OKOL Lake Park’s architectural concept and could be defined as contemporary, minimalist, precise, functional and light.

OKOL Lake Park is being developed in line with the latest available technologies, contemporary materials and methodologies – without any wet processes during construction.

Brickworks, plasters, stucco & putties laying, painting work and other classic building processes are not applied in the construction of OKOL Lake Park. Our concept was designed to offer a high-quality building product with longer shelf life and easy maintenance.
