DG Apartment – Reconstruction [BAB 2021]

Abstract

This is a reconstruction and adaptation project of the penthouse in Vracar, Belgrade, with total interior design and custom-made furniture and lighting.

The reconstruction project of the space included the opening of a plan with the idea of creating the fluidity of the inner space, which overflows with the effects of the view of Belgrade, from the Temple of St. Sava to the Bridge to Ada and New Belgrade. The view from the living room area on the Temple and the roofs of Vracar is accentuated by glass openings that extend over the entire surface of the wall.

A special challenge in the project was the revitalization and stripping of the Avramenko ribbed ceiling in order to give the entire space of the penthouse additional openness, height and attractiveness. The ceiling is additionally accentuated by black-and-white-copper custom lighting.

The main design concept in the interior was the black-and-white elegance with copper accents and details. All furniture elements are custom-made in the same black-and-white-copper palette.

The idea of fluidity and flows of the whole space, apart from the structure, was also realized by materialization - reflection in space, usage of glass, mirrors, continuity of granite white floor with black patterns and simple light treatment of walls.

The central part of the apartment is an open plan kitchen, dining area and living room that visually forms a unique whole. The theme of black and white elegance, through a minimalist approach in the design and decor of the central part, spills over to the main bathroom, as well as to the night zone and the second bathroom belonging to it. The kitchen part is accentuated by a black cubic motif of the work zone in glass and kerock surfaces, which is located in the middle of the white elements in which the kitchen appliances are hidden. The high black table, with a copper construction has a surface made of kerock, designed to be an additional work surface in the kitchen, a half-bar, or a dining table for 6 people, depending on the needs and in accordance to the contemporary living everydayness.
