Residential Building on Nikola Trimpare Street No. 12

Buildings/
The residential building at Nikola Trimpare Street No. 12 was built in 1932, designed by architect Kiril Zernovski and constructed by Stojche Zernovski. In the first phase, one building was constructed, and three years later, another building for the same family was added, attached to the existing one, symmetrically mirroring it, functioning as a single unit. The building is freestanding, separated from the other buildings in the row, with pathways along its sides leading to the backyard. It develops into a basement, ground floor, and two upper floors. The basement is designed for storage rooms, while the ground floor, upper floors, and attic are intended for residential units. Two main, covered entrances that access the shared stair core—naturally lit—are positioned on the street façade, while the ground-floor apartments have two additional exterior entrances—one through the kitchen and one through the terrace. Each floor provides access to one apartment from the core. The building has a simple geometric volume and a clean façade, characterized by the material separation of the basement and the design of the balcony railings—concrete pillars and horizontal crossbars.
