Concept - 2nd place
Spatial (manifestation), as an opportunity to test form, volume, its strength and mass in reaching the
desired expression, character and necessary phenomenal authoritativeness, according to the
purpose.
Programming (content), as the real potential to research for a flexible organization, rational interior
space and a special ambient that would suggest a certain rigidity and flexibility, at the same time.
The spatial aspect of the concept is about dimension, mass, sculptural expression and the silhouette
that define a monolithic structure, compact volume.
In its expression the building has dignity, discipline and restraint that are read in the minimum of
details.
Simple architecture and detached artistic expression without false aesthetics, unequivocally confirm
the value and character of this part of a city.
Neutrality and clarity of form shaped by subtracting, physically cutting some parts, in aim to remove
off existing buildings, set a new standard in designing public facilities in a high -density urban block.
In this example architecture radiates with its own logic, openness, harmony of balanced relations
between the elements.
The relation of mass and cavity of shape, give a volume a formal qualitative value.
Its modernity, openness and availability realises in an intense and direct contact of the ground floor
and the first floor with the street which is facing.
Particular expressive power of the building, further is manifested by the applied material and color of
visually desirable firmness, durability, strength and overall presence.
Stone, as a solid material, establishes the building in relation to its purpose, position and surrounding
area, providing the necessary spontaneity in architectural expression, and all the conditions
necessary for a comfortable business.
Directly allows the possibility of easy and disciplined disposition of windows throughout the building,
and so, receives influences from surroundings.
Dark gray stone, clearly confirms that the building is firmly rooted in the ground floor, getting the
character of a public office building, extensively in connection with the street and users.
Color change of the material of higher levels, clearly indicates the extent of dialogue that house
achieves with the objects surrounding by, humbly respects and preserves as distinctive front of Kneza
Milosa St.
Clearly points to a delicate measure of relation of internal and public office space in such a place, and
tight integration of future users and clients.
The interior of the building, through the atrium and all levels is spatially and visually connected,
creating continuity and the ability of natural light and ventilation due to atmosphere of comfort and
business convenience.
Programme, location and time of its creation imposed the seriousness, responsibility and obligation to
think by looking for a special space-programme identity, so important for buildings that are of public
significance. The concept of function solution is based on a clear definition of the functional
organization of space, in relation to the intended purpose.
The programme concept is set in relation to the design programme developed for the prosecution
needs and its specific functional requirements, and organizational structure of all the prosecutions.
