The competition work for the Palace of the Privileged Agrarian Bank in Belgrade is a lesser-known Zloković design from an earlier period of creativity, which is now available to researchers in the Milan Zloković Collection at the Belgrade City Museum. The bank building is designed as a corner block building in whose interpolation – by changing the height, stepwise indentation of volume and different treatment of facade surfaces – Zloković stratifies the facade surfaces creating the impression of a corner street sequence with several units. Zloković develops the internal organization of the space symmetrically in relation to the axis of the corner, achieving a somewhat freer and more open plan, especially at the level of the basement and ground floor, where spaces for working with clients are provided.

The automotive industry of the first half of the 20th century was accompanied by a strong modernization process based on new technological and economic possibilities. In such an environment, modern architecture favored the presentation of modern achievements (products of the new industry), just as new car models were an appropriate attribute for a complete presentation of modern architectural achievements (house - machine).
