Gospodar Jevremova Apartment
A 1928 apartment that had been cut into three rented units. We took the partitions out, kept the parquet and gave the rooms back their original proportions.

When we first saw the flat it had three front doors, three kitchens and a corridor that ran past every window. The building is from 1928 and the ceilings are 3.4 metres high, which nobody had been able to enjoy for about forty years.
What stayed
The oak herringbone parquet, the double casement windows and the plaster cornices in the two street-facing rooms. A craftsman from Zemun spent three weeks on the floor alone, replacing around 400 broken pieces with reclaimed oak.
What changed
The kitchen moved into the old maid's room at the back, next to the light well. Bathrooms were grouped on one riser to keep the new plumbing short. All joinery is smoked oak, made by a small workshop in Čačak that we have worked with since 2015.
