Former „Yugoslavia Bank Palace“ building, completed in 1923, was designed by Czech architect Matej Bleh in 20th century Academic style. The building consists of two basement floors, ground floor, four above-ground floors and attic I and attic II. Through dialogue with Belgrade City Institute for the Protection of Cultural Monuments a Conceptual Design Project was made for reconstruction and adaptation as well as change of use for a part of the buiding from a commercial space into a hotel. In order to respect urban ambiance of the Republic Square, the prominent semi-circular facade and all its windows and displays kept their original form. Reconstruction, adaptation and change of use was done in a manner that doesn’t clash with the existing structure. Original structural system of post and beams is preserved and updated with interior elements which were finalised under Interior Design Project by Articons. The building now houses 68 hotel rooms rooms and 3 commercial spaces.
