Description

Building is located in Gruža in Central Serbia and was designed as a weekend home.

It is functionally organized on two floors, where the ground floor is designed for auxiliary rooms in the service of yard and garden maintenance, while the first floor is intended for living.

Architectural design follows traditional form of the pitched roof interpreted in contemporary manner through facade treatment and selection of materials.

Building is a combination of traditional materials such as shingles, bricks, wood, with modern materials such as sheet metal cladding with large glass openings, all of which being in harmonious relationship with the context of natural environment.

Front facade is in focus with its dominant part made of sheet metal cladding that follows shape of the sloping roof of the building, while contrast with anthracite black frame is achieved with wooden elements of the facade treatment.
