BIOPHILIA GROUP Development

Sustainable property development · South East Europe

Building with nature.
Developing for the long term.

Sustainable property development in South East Europe, rooted in biophilic design, built for people who care about what they leave behind.

Who we are

We develop differently.

BIOPHILIA GROUP is a property development company focused on South East Europe: Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and the wider Western Balkans. We identify locations that most Western European investors have not yet found, and develop them responsibly.

Our work is guided by the principles of biophilic and regenerative design: buildings and communities that preserve the natural environment they inhabit, rather than consume it. Every project we take on reflects this commitment, from early-stage concept to construction and interior delivery.

We are based in Croatia. We think in European terms. And we believe the most interesting property development opportunities in Europe right now are here, in this part of the world.

The people behind the work

The principals shaping every project.

Biophilia Group is led by four principals. Strategy and investor relations are held by the founder; architecture, interior design, and on-site delivery are carried out in partnership with Maketarium, a Sarajevo-based studio whose work runs from intimate interiors to coastal villa compounds. Together, the four lead every project from first conversation to handover.

Hasan Hasić

Founder, strategy & investor relations

Hasan founded Biophilia Group and holds its long view: which markets to enter, which sites are worth pursuing, and which partners belong around the table. He steps back from day-to-day delivery and concentrates on strategic direction and the relationships with investors and capital partners that allow each project to take shape.

Creative director

Sabina brings the conceptual and visual language to each project. She is known for clear, restrained ideas that elevate the architecture and the felt experience of a space.

From the studio

In their own words.

Three perspectives from the architects shaping every Biophilia Group project.

A building is a long conversation with its site. Our job is to listen first, then draw. Everything we put on a plot has to earn its place against what was already there.

Our beliefs

How we think about development.

Property development, at any scale, changes a place permanently. We take that seriously.

Our starting point is always the landscape: its character, its ecology, its relationship to the people who live near it. We do not build against these things. We build with them.

This means minimalist architecture that integrates rather than imposes. Materials chosen for longevity and appropriateness, not trend. Outdoor spaces treated as carefully as indoor ones. And a consistent question running through every decision: will this still make sense in thirty years?

We are not the only developers who talk about sustainability. We are trying to be among the few for whom it is not a marketing position.

Where we are going

Nature-based development: where we are heading.

South East Europe is one of the last places in Europe where nature-based development is still possible at meaningful scale. Forests, rivers, clean air, and landscapes largely untouched by mass tourism. This is where we see the most compelling long-term opportunity, not just financially, but in terms of what can actually be built here.

We are actively developing concepts in this direction: nature cabin retreats, family forest parks, outdoor adventure destinations, and planned residential communities that put ecology and human connection at their centre.

These are not distant ideas. They are projects we are building towards now, and we are looking for investors, partners, and future residents who share this perspective.

We are also exploring what modern investment models for these projects might , including digital and fractional ownership structures, though we are being deliberate about pace and context in markets where trust is built slowly and rightly.

Frequently asked

Questions we hear often.

  • We work with capital partners across the full arc: from early-stage co-development on land we have sourced ourselves, to joint ventures on existing sites, to delivery-only engagements where the investor brings the asset and we bring planning, design, construction, and furnishing. Minimum ticket sizes and structures depend on the project; the first conversation is always a quiet one, under NDA.

  • It means choices that are visible in the finished building, not just in the brochure. We site buildings to preserve mature trees and existing topography. We specify materials for longevity and low embodied energy (stone, timber, lime renders) over what is fashionable. We design outdoor spaces to support local ecology, not just to look green. And we measure success in how the project will read in thirty years, not in the launch photographs.

  • This part of Europe, including Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and the wider Western Balkans, still has landscape, water, and air that Western Europe has largely lost. Land is accessible, regulation is improving, and the region is approaching the inflection point where serious capital follows. We have been working here long enough to know which jurisdictions move quickly, which sites are worth pursuing, and how to navigate the realities on the ground.

  • The coast is where our current portfolio is concentrated, but our outlook is regional. The next wave of work is inland: forest, river, and mountain locations across Bosnia and Herzegovina and the wider Western Balkans, where nature-based development is still possible at meaningful scale.

  • Anywhere from two to six years, depending on scale, permitting environment, and whether we are involved from land acquisition or from a developed site. We are deliberate about pace. A project rushed through planning is a project that compromises somewhere, usually somewhere that shows up later.

A concept we are exploring

A different way to live.

We are developing the idea of a thoughtfully planned residential community in the heart of South East Europe. A self-sufficient settlement, built from the ground up, with architecturally designed homes, shared infrastructure, and locally grown food. A place where freedom, nature, and genuine human connection come first.

This is not a finished project. It is a concept we are shaping together with the people who feel drawn to it. If this resonates with you, we want to hear from you.
