CORNER APARTMENT

CARA LAZARA BELGRADE

Completely pedestrianised through planned and ongoing civic improvements , the area is characterised by cafes , restaurants , boutique fashion and retail , street performers , and artisans . It has an ambience akin to parts of Italy and Paris and is becoming an increasingly popular destination for international tourism .
Built in the 1930s it was originally planned as a two-bed apartment in the style of the traditional “ salon ” which typifies most Belgrade apartments built during that period . In this arrangement , all rooms are accessed from a large central living space , which provided a central focal point to the apartment . The floor to ceiling height is 3.0m throughout and the building structure and facades are loadbearing masonry .
