In the very heart of Belgrade, there is a rundown, narrow building with an unusual orthogonal shape, which consists of many small apartments. By connecting two small units on its top floor, it’s created a 90-square meter high quality apartment.
The living space consists of a spacious kitchen daringly clad in black and a sitting room. In order to get more depth in the fairly narrow sitting space, the master bedroom is separated by a wide sliding handmade door, which when open serves as a frame to the painting Mapping by Srecko Nedeljkovic, another representation of the city unfolding outside the windows. When closed, this door hides the owner’s bedroom, an oasis of peace in white, with a bathtub placed in the old studio’s loggia – an ideal place for meditation and relaxation.
The only other bedroom is on the opposite side of the apartment, with a handmade nut wood bed placed in the former loggia, providing an impressive view to the tower of the Saborna church.
A multitude of windows and sliding doors in black aluminium gives the city’s skyline an almost artistic. From dawn to dusk, this apartment lives in a successful symbiosis with the city and the skies around, and witnesses of a unique location of Belgrade on the map of Europe.
What makes this project one-of-a-kind?
The concept of a project that follows the spirit of the place.
