SKOJEVSKO
More about project
An apartment in Skojevsko Naselje in Vidikovac,
64m2, which we completely renovated under the
"turnkey" system within the agreed
period of 60 days.
In addition to the standard works that are an
essential part of complete apartment renovations,
we also built additional walls and relocated
the entrance door to a new position.
By expanding the apartment into the hallway area
of the building, we slightly increased the
overall square footage. Of course, this
modification was carried out with the consent
of the neighbors, and the new owners gained
an expanded entrance area, which became
ideal for storing shoes and outerwear
upon entry. The old entrance door was
replaced with a new, more secure white door.
In agreement with the owners and in accordance
with their wishes, we also played around a bit
with the apartment's functional layout.
Partial modifications were made to some of the
partition walls. A section of the wall towards
the living room was demolished to open up the
space further. Some existing walls were
shortened, and the kitchen area was reduced
with a drywall partition.
The idea was to transform part of the old kitchen
into a workspace with a new parapet and a
decorative shelf. The shelf would vertically
extend to the wall, visually separating the
workspace from the dining area while ensuring
that the amount of natural daylight was not
significantly reduced, which we successfully
achieved.
The old wooden parapet between the living room
and the terrace was removed, and a new one was
built for better thermal insulation, followed
by the installation of new PVC windows.
The originally enclosed terrace was opened up
by dismantling the old metalwork, and with
ceramic and painting works, it became a
beautiful oasis for enjoying the warmer part
of the year.
You can see how the tiling work in the bathroom
was done, as well as the transformation of the
bathroom before and after, in the video
bathroom reconstruction.
The apartment is almost entirely built with
reinforced concrete walls, reflecting the
solid post-war Yugoslav architecture. 😊
We had some challenges with repositioning the
electrical wiring while preserving the existing
floors, but dealing with reinforced concrete
was far from an impossible task for us.
It wasn't our first time, nor will it be our last.
If any colleagues need a list of Belgrade
neighborhoods where apartments are mostly built
with reinforced concrete, feel free to contact us. 😊
The apartment was completely renovated within
the planned timeframe and handed over to the
owners, to whom we extend our gratitude for
their cooperation.
How we managed the process can be seen in the
video apartment reconstruction, which
showcases the transformation of the apartment
before and after through various stages
of the renovation work.
