BOŽE JANKOVIĆ
A FAMILY HOUSE
Belgrade, Serbia
190m2
COMPLETED, 2018
The existing house on site was not suitable for reconstruction, but the willingness to embrace sustainability in the project led to the approach of using as much leftovers after demolishing, which resulted in a range of further design decisions. Old concrete was grinded up and used for making a new foundation. Bricks were cleaned, cut in half and used for facade cladding. Old wooden beams were used for parts of the roof and interior finishing. The main brick part of the new house is following the footprint of the former house. The wooden part of the new house, which hosts the sleeping zone on the first floor was designed as one big beam on a solid base.The green roof garden is on the top off brick cube and protect thermal and hydro insulation from overheating and freezing.
