BIG SEE Make Sense

BIG SEE Make Sense Embrace the Heart of Creativity with BIG SEE: Where Minds Meet and Cultures Collide. In South-East Europe, life is good. It is sometimes really hard, too.

When management gurus talk enthusiastically about disruption, they mean disrupting other people’s business. When they talk about creativity, they think of another tool for increasing profits. And when they speak about natives, they mean generations that can’t tell anymore what is real and virtual, or that digit used to point a finger. There are more nations and languages, and religions than in any

similarly sized region. People here don’t have much in common. Everything happens too fast. These complexities are as frustrating now as they were life-threatening throughout history. With countless rulers and artists and philosophers being born across the region, being creative often meant just managing to stay alive. So when people here talk about disruption, it happens every day. Outstanding creativity is as ordinary as the air we breathe and being native means knowing where you belong: to millennia of mind-blowing milestones. South-East Europe, Timeless and Boundless

PSUKHE, by FELIX GODARD DESIGN, France
BIG SEE Product Design Award 2026

PSUKHE moves between fiction, engineering, and object design with a deliberately improbable presence. The tripod structure turns a seemingly unfeasible silhouette into a resolved piece through a careful distribution of weight and a precise use of aluminium, carbon fibre, and steel ballast. Rather than separating concept from making, the project gives speculative form a convincing physical reality. The result is a chair with a strong experimental identity and a distinctly collectible character.

MSG 13, Vienna, Austria, by Gassner Liegenschaften
BIG SEE Architecture Award 2026

Reused materials, including crushed historic tiles integrated into terrazzo flooring, reflect a strong focus on sustainability. The courtyard becomes a shared, flexible space, with transformed ground-floor openings and adaptable outdoor elements supporting community use. Attic additions and integrated photovoltaics continue the dialogue with the urban context while significantly reducing energy demand.

Alpenblick Waxenberg, Waxenberg, Austria, by VINI SIXTUS
BIG SEE Architecture Award 2026

Waxenberg Terraced Housing rethinks rural living by introducing thoughtful density on a steep slope overlooking Castle Waxenberg and the Danube Valley. The project responds to rural decline and suburban sprawl by proposing a compact, community-oriented alternative. Living spaces cascade with the terrain, while garages and services are embedded below grade to preserve views and landscape continuity. Generous terraces, varied apartment types, and planted separations support privacy while fostering intergenerational living and a renewed sense of community.

JB – QUIET BALANCE, Ljubljana, Slovenia, by Arhitektura Vrščaj
BIG SEE Interior Design Award 2026

The project transforms a compact apartment into a continuous, open living environment, replacing rigid room divisions with a fluid spatial system. The ceiling becomes the main design tool, defining zones and guiding movement while preserving visual continuity. Subtle level changes introduce hierarchy within the open plan, supported by restrained materials and carefully controlled lighting. The result is a calm, tactile interior where clarity, function, and atmosphere are precisely balanced.

KOTA 111 – A Designed Hospitality Experience, Silbaš, Serbia, by Studio Horkruks and Kubus
BIG SEE Interior Design Award 2026

KOTA 111 is conceived as a total hospitality experience, where architecture, gastronomy, and social rituals are designed as one cohesive system.

Beyond architecture, elements such as lighting, menus, uniforms, music, and scent are carefully curated to shape the atmosphere.
