Jutarnji list, one of Croatia’s leading dailies, published an in-depth story on the origins of Arhium, the app launched by architecture student Helena Čačić and Crisp founder Martin Kajtazi.
Like hundreds of fellow architects, Helena used to spend hours digging through databases, portals and offices to answer the key investor question: “What can actually be built here?” That problem became Arhium, a web application that unifies all the data needed to analyse a land parcel in one place, from spatial plans and building conditions to infrastructure. Clicking a parcel on the map produces a complete guide to its building potential.
The article also describes a year of painstaking work: Martin programmed while Helena collected and digitised the data, including months of manually transcribing Zagreb’s General Urban Plan, a job for which even artificial intelligence proved insufficiently precise.
The application has been in production since 1 January, runs on a B2B model with an annual subscription, and its clients already include names such as Opereta, DOMinvest, ING-GRAD, Euroville and REMAX. The project was also shortlisted for the Student Digi Award, Jutarnji list’s prize for young people shaping Croatia’s future through technology.
