The first room
An arrival with a story
The names on the wall belong to the founding members who built Croatian House.
Guests read them on the way in. It is the house’s only introduction before the doors open to the event beyond.
The foyer gives the welcome drink, registration desk, gift table or place cards a clear home. At the end, it becomes the last place guests gather before heading to the car park.
