The competition work for the residential building for clerks of industrial enterprises in Belgrade, of which two drawings have been preserved, represents an unknown Zloković design from the post-war period of creativity, which is now available to researchers in the Milan Zloković Collection at the Belgrade City Museum. It is presented here because it indicates one of the most important architectural tasks after the Second World War – housing construction for the broadest social strata, in which the Belgrade School of Residential Architecture will be specially developed and defined, whose leaders were Zlokovic’s students, thaught to cope with this issue in a rational, but architecturally innovative way, so to create spaces for decent everyday life of every human being.
Belgrade, Serbia
Kralja Milutina 33
1926–1927
Among several residential buildings designed for the Belgrade investor and owner Josif Šojat, an interpolated multi-storey building (residential building with rented apartments) in 33 Kralja Milutina Street stands out, with which Zloković brought the spirit of Mediterranean profane architecture into the Vračar city agglomeration, making several form gestures atypical for the previous Belgrade architecture.
