Description
Representative building intended for Social Welfare Center – Kikinda is a multi-storey building with one pedestrian and two vehicular accesses from Miloša Ostojina Street.
Internal organization of the space had a significant impact on the artistic and formative articulation of the facade panels. Through architectural design of planned body of the public purpose building, architectural design formats with moderate ratios of “full and empty” in multiplied, reasonable and very skilfully defined proportions and maintained relationships were applied. The applied architectural vocabulary emphasizes the shape of the body in the spirit of a traditional Vojvodina-Pannonian standard type house, accentuating the front facade of the building with selected modern materials. The building, placed on the plot with its narrow side towards the street regulation with a three-part internal layout of the rooms, is meant as a type of long house, easily distinguishable and characteristic for this area. Achitectural solution is characterized by functionality, rational use of space, simple construction, reduced form and absence of decoration.
Around the building, there is a green yard space, in which, in addition to the car park, there is also a pedestrian access. Along the back border of the plot, opposite the regulation line towards the road, a green yard was formed, which is accessible via pedestrian access from the lateral side of the building.
In functional sense, the facility in question, Social Welfare Center is planned as a ground-floor facility for public use with spatial capacity that meets standards for providing social welfare services, modernly equipped for the exercise of public powers and providing counseling-therapeutic and social-educational services as a form of support to individuals and families in crisis, aimed at improving family members’ relations, overcoming crisis situations and acquiring skills for stand-alone and productive life in society.
