A guest house

1. Entrance; 2. Kitchen; 3. Dining; 4. Living room; 5. Bedroom; 6. Bathroom; 7. Porch; 8. Wardrobe; 9. Toilet; 10. Kitchen; 11. Living room; 12. Salon for celebrations/Fitness

This design was made a year ago at my previous company. I was asked to design a guest house with the celebration room witch I proposed to be a fitness room when not using for celebrations. The client has most unusual request such as: he didn't want any windows on the walls that are at the edge of the property. The other request was, since he owns the land that's next to this land he wanted to have 'fluent' space between those two. That is the ability to connect spaces. That was arranged by the porch and the living room (11.) and the sliding glass facade. The client also wanted a salon which can receive 40 people for celebrations. Since it's suppose to be used just few times a year, I suggested that it can be divided by prefabricated movable wall which is dividing the salon into two rooms: one for chair/table storage, and the other one for fitness machines - facing the pool. At this part of the house there's a small kitchen not for cooking but as a base for delivering food right before consuming. The guest part of the house is pretty minimal but it was dictated by client's wishes and property's limitations. Bathroom and kitchen were switched in the previous variant (it can be seen in intersection) since it's better to have a communication between the kitchen and dining and it's not so good to face the bathroom doors from the dinning. Besides, it's more logic to place a bathroom near the entrance since it's used by the guests too. But, since the client wanted it this way, I used the new position of the kitchen to provide more natural light with a extra window facing the pool.
The roof is angled due to the intensive atmosphere conditions in Serbia (snow and rain). The house is positioned near Belgrade airport (the client is a flight supervisor working for JAT airways in Moscow).
The house is finished while I was already at the other job, but it's not nearly alike to design. The volume and the shape yes, the disposition of the windows, doors and rooms yes, but not the materialization and variations of door/window finishings, slight details and the quality of the way it was build I don't even want to comment. I'd rather not post the photo. :) It's strange how one precise drawing can be interpretated and 'seen' in so many different ways.

Atic adaptation

The aim here was to turn small area atic into usefull functional area. First limit were the instalations wich were dictating bathroom and kitchen position, the other was the shape of the intersection - the atic is partly under angled roof. Also, the entrance position could not be changed and the windows allready exsisted, so it was required to fit in the light and airness at the atic.



The chimney instalation was used for a fireplace positioned in the livingroom. The back of it has a small storage unit for wood placement.
The client was satisfied and concidering to add some extra windows after my recomendations. This will effect the design with small changes but for the better.

Hall wardrobe

The wardrobe with the sliding doors - one with mirror front and the other glass made, is very conviniant for small spaces and large storage. It has lot of sections for everything needed on the way out and when geting back home.

Design of an info pillon for the Panorama business center. About ten companies are positioned in it for now (not whole center is completed). The center was built by our company (Imperial gradnja) and the headquoters are positioned here as well (my office is here too :)).
The design was limited by simple construction wich was required here.

Dijana's kitchen

Kitchen design for my friend Dijana. My ideas and a bit of her wishes seen through my eyes. :)

And now something completely different...

Another option for kitchen interior for Moscow apartment. Since minimalistic design was too much for Denisov (the one u can see in older post) it's been remodeled. Aleksandr was delighted with the colours I used in the hall so he wanted the same in the kitchen.
Colour adjusting was by my associates Bane and Dejan (also architects) who are modeling after my drawings. I picked the tiles. Shapes and positioning of the elements by me. I think they'll like it even so the shapes are contemporary, Russians definitely like cheerful colours. :)

Section 1-1


Design for a house renewal/addition. Light gray area defines the old format of the house. It's a typical country side house in Serbia - made with no plan and therefore not so functional, not to talk about estethics.
So, the clients wanted to large up their living area, to get the dinning area which was not defined previously. Also, they wanted additional room on the ground and first floor. They only had stairs outside the house, which is not so practical since the winter here can be very cruel, specially since this house is a bit in the countryside. So, I imputed the inner stairs which were used also to divide living and dinning area.
They needed central heating room, so I suggested to use the space below ground level which became bigger with this change of ground and first floor.
In order to make those changes, the roof had to be shaped differently (which was also client's wish) and therefore, new construction took place of the old one.

The task was complete since the clients were very pleased. The design was done last year (2008.) but still waits for it's realisation (in another words - it waits economical crisis to pass).

Primary school in Uzice /Serbia/ - my graduate design

Section 2-2


Section 1-1

Entrance view

This was the design I did for my graduation. It was done for actual location in Uzice - Serbia and on a land that is planned for it by authorities. The challenge was to make modern and functional shaped space in difficult natural conditions - small land proportions and height difference between first and the last point of the property.
I used those difficulties for advantages - putting the gymnastic hall partly in the ground but still providing natural source of light and fresh air for it. Flat roof of the hall is used like a terrace for the dinning and partly for an outside activities.
The school is friendly for kids with disabilities (ramps provide them to enter every corner of the school).
The roof (profile facade) is shaped to 'fit in' the terrain.
The professors was intrigued by my design (although they needed the time to catch up all the levels inside :)) and I got the highest degree.
