Milutin Folic
Founder & Owner, Sillage, Serbia
Mr. Milutin Folic graduated from the Faculty of Architecture in Belgrade as one of the best students of the generation.
He speaks 6 languages and has built a successful career as a member of the project teams in Belgrade and internationally. Since 2008. untill present he has a private architectural office Folic Architects ltd.
FOLIC ARCHITECTS is an architectural design studio established as a continuation of two architectural family practices with over 30 years of work experience involving more than 200 projects. The company operates locally and globally from its office in Belgrade, Serbia. It is currently one of the leading domestic designing studios, employing licensed architects, city planners, designers and technicians who, together with the external associates from other engineering professions, work on projects in Serbia, Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Russia. In recent years, the studio has focused mainly on the design of large residential and commercial complexes in Belgrade, which exceed 50,000m2 GFA, and certain buildings have been completely implemented or are in the implementation phase. Some of them include complexes like Kapija Vračara, Cara Uroša, Green Hill Dedinje, Sredačka, Taurunum and others. In addition to designing, the studio is also engaged in urban planning, research, sustainable development, site preparation and construction consulting
Our pragmatic project approach is driven by the requirements of the users, the functionality of the designed areas, the rationality of the structure and the urban-sensitive form, which completes its environment by its volumetry.
From 2014 to 2019 he was a City Architect and a Chief Urban Planner of the City of Belgrade
During this period he initiated and worked on the adoption of strategic documents - the new General Plan and the City Strategy through which the main directions of further development were set: the reversal of the hierarchy in traffic in favor of pedestrians, cyclists and public transport, then about the use of natural resources by exposing Belgrade to the river banks - by removing railway and industrial capacities from the center enabling third strategic objective - that the city does not spread beyond its natural boundaries, but by implosion - using former industrial zones within the city.
During the mandate, more than 200 Detailed Regulation Plans were adopted, which is four times more than in the same previous period. The result of this is the revival of the construction industry that made Belgrade city of cranes and provided funds for investing in infrastructure and arranging the city, thus becoming more attractive for new investments.
Mr. Folic is also the initiator and the leader of the project "Identity - Mobility - Ecology of the City". The key objectives of this strategic project are: Strengthening the IDENTITY of the City, Promote the concept of SUSTAINABLE MOBILITY and the introduction of ECOLOGICAL CONSCIOUSNESS. As part of realization, the project has introduced a book of standards, so far as 20,000 m2 of new pedestrian zones have been completed, 20 km new bicycle paths through the sub-project "Belgrade Bike", large squares, parks, facades and coastal areas have been built and arranged. All these activities are directed towards one general goal - the improvement of the quality of life.
In 2019. he set up new consulting company Sillage which main focus is advising foreign investors and real estate sales in Serbia.
