House on Miroslav Krlezha Street No. 63
Buildings/The individual house at Miroslav Krlezha Street No. 63 is part of a perimeter block of standalone houses, with yard space on two sides of the building. The other two façades face two streets: on Miroslav Krlezha Street, the building follows the street frontage, while on Antonije Grubishikj Street, it deviates from the street line to create a relationship with the yard.
The corner placement is emphasized by a convex rounding at the corner in the ground floor zone and a concrete terrace in the attic, contrasting with the otherwise strict geometric volume. The building develops over a basement, ground floor, and attic, with residential use planned on all levels. It consists of simple geometric volumes and a refined façade, characterized by a materially divided basement and a distinctive treatment of the balcony railing.
