These Banovo Brdo apartments combine the feeling of urban convenience with countryside seclusion: three bedrooms of non-standard geometry with panoramic windows face a green inner courtyard and have clearly separated public and private zones.
One of the undeniable advantages of the layout is its logical zoning. On one side of the entrance hall is a combined living area with a spacious lounge, dining zone, and an open-plan kitchen. On the other side is the private section, where each family member has their own space, reflecting individual needs and ideas of comfort. The master suite feels strict and almost ascetic in its furnishings; the smaller bedroom offers a soft boudoir-like coziness, while the teen’s room follows the functional and dynamic logic of a teenage space.
The neoclassical character of the new building also shaped the interior’s aesthetic context: high ceiling moldings, parquet flooring laid in a French herringbone pattern, and paneled doors. Within this classical framework, the clients requested an atmosphere of calm and serenity, with light contrasts and modern functions. As the base palette, a sophisticated range of halva and green tea shades was chosen.
The kitchen is finished in a color reminiscent of kajmak — a traditional Serbian dairy product. Combined with cognac oak “spaghetti,” brushed nickel, and smoked glass, it creates a sense of restrained elegance. The front panel of the kitchen island, upholstered in textured fabric with a dirt-repellent finish, adds an unexpected visual and tactile accent, contrasting with the clear lines of the cabinetry.
Despite the strong layout, one challenge the owners faced was the lack of convenient storage for outerwear and shoes near the entrance. The solution was found just behind the wall: part of the spacious master suite’s walk-in closet was discreetly integrated into the hallway. The room’s configuration was changed without affecting the load-bearing structures and while keeping the gypsum moldings. This allowed a large wardrobe to appear in the hallway, blending seamlessly into the wall. Its satin-finished smoked glass fronts rhythmically continue the sequence of doors along the corridor, becoming a natural element of the architectural composition.
