Health Center Kotlujevac

The subject of this architectural endeavor was the transformation of the Kotlujevac health center, built in the seventies of the last century, into a creation that would embody a new dimension of aesthetics and functionality. The goal was not only to improve the existing structure but also to imbue it with a spirit of innovation that would enrich the surroundings and enhance the reputation of the area.
Through the project task, a concept was devised that integrates various components – pharmacy, clinic, emergency care, and other functionalities of the healthcare facility. The basic shape of the building exhibits orthogonality, while an oriel appears on the upper floor, creating a distinctly asymmetric composition that captivates the eye.
The structure of the building is such that its concave arches, expanding horizontally and vertically, introduce a play of light and shadow. These arched openings, arranged in a “counter direction,” add depth and dynamism to the facade. By combining solid and void elements on the facade, along with carefully chosen materials, the traditional form is subtly revived, offering a contemporary interpretation of shapes found in the architecture of the nearby Orthodox church.
