Description

Given its utterly valuable site in terms of urban prerequisites, intervention in this space was carefully considered, and via established implementation methodology, a sort of receptive intervention was selected that is formative, structural, architectural, functional and certainly contextual, in the most expedient possible way, and integrated into immediate environment of the microlocation.

Conceptual solution (Serb: IDR) and applied architectural vocabulary stressed the shape of the body, by highlighting the front facade of the building, thus creating a representative high-standard residential building as a future free-standing building, with 2F+D+2+Ps flooring, with one pedestrian and one vehicular access from Internacionalnih Brigada Street.

Intended purpose of the building fits into the existing character of its immediate environment, which is primarily residential, then also public, cultural, sacred and ecological – Belgrade Drama Theater, Čuburski and Neimarski Parks, the Temple of St. Sava, the National Library of Serbia.

Newly designed building is functionally organized as a residential building with one residential unit on each floor and a garage, which, by the way of use, is a private garage for vehicles of the building’s users. The underground part of the newly designed building on GP1 is done with two underground floors with car access from Internacionalnih Brigada Street.

Continuity of established relationships, which sequentially graduate, starting from the ground-floor, through higher floors, achieves the rhythm of established ratio of “full versus empty”. By deviating from the dominant facade plane and retracting parts of the facade planes forming terraces, the body of the structure becomes more relaxed and optimal, while its architecturally shaped concept is made lighter, more subtle, and certainly unique and compact.

Facade panels of the newly designed residential building have been created as dominantly grouped ventilated facade assemblies with stone-made ends and large glass surfaces with dynamic arrangement while supporting the established matrix and disposition of horizontal and vertical shape segments on the building.

Retracted facade plane was done with intention of clearly and unequivocally affirming the dominant facade of the building by highlighting central motifs that contribute to attractiveness and dynamics of the entire composition of the building.

Materials used were selected so as to meet the requirements in terms of high artistic and aesthetic properties, quality, elegance, durability and visual compatibility.
