The design of reconstruction, rehabilitation and adaptation of the Rubin DHS hotel complex in Kruševac presented a complete design, organizational and technical-technological reconstruction of the existing building.
The design fully affirms two equal bodies that make up the entire complex, namely, the base as the pedestal of the building of multi-volume form, number of floors Basement+Ground floor+Mezzanine and the tower with number of floors Basement+Ground floor+Mezzanine+9+Loft, which, in its multi-storey volume with the main pedestrian entrances from the plateau, leads to Kosovskih junaka Square.
The design divides the hotel facilities in terms of organization and functionality into units that are reflected in the spaces intended for accommodation units of different categories, service areas that are in the function of both the hotel and the external system of use (bars, restaurants, conference rooms, lounge, spa, swimming pool, casino, gym), maintenance zones, zones intended for parking spaces and finally zones of commercial spaces, which ensures the content and quality of functional systems within the complex with a high-ranking categorization class of 4+, with with the possibility of an increase depending on the further requirements of the operator.
In the system of selecting and applying both the design method and the treatment of colors and facade plans with the aim of their complete affirmation, the reconstruction design clearly highlighted the connection, first of all with colorful polychromy, and with a historically very motivating and certainly adequate model.
In relation to the above, it is precisely the natural pastel polychromy of the pebbles and, more rarely, broken stone and bricks, used in 1371 for the construction and cladding of both the Donžon tower and the smaller towers and ramparts of Lazarev’s town in Kruševac, became the undisputed design pivot of the overall color and syllabic manifestation of the composite, applied in the process of designing the facade canvases of the reconstructed hotel complex Rubin DHS, in combination with dark vertical glass surfaces with a high level of reflection.
