"Transparent house" is located on Gardoš in Zemun. The area of ​​the building is 179.8 m2 (with a roof terrace), while the plot is 226.9 m2. From the outside, the floor plan is P+1, but the interior of the house is playful with half-levels. The building is of the type of terraced house so that it visually and functionally opens towards the Gardoš tower on one side and the Danube on the other. All partitions in the building, except for the load-bearing ones, are made of glass, and in this way the user has the possibility to open the entire building and achieve complete transparency without the internal structure obscuring his views. By manipulating the curtains on all the glass partitions, the user determines the amount of light and privacy he wants. Considering the length of the building, in order to maximize the flow of natural light, there are two large skylights on both sides of the house. The street on which the front facade opens is under a slope, and the context consists mainly of single-story P+1 family houses whose facades are placed on the street front. A curtain was also placed on the street front, which aims to follow the context by not disrupting the continuity of the facades, but also to provide additional privacy to the users. The house itself is set back from the regulation line and in this way additional greenery was obtained in the front part of the yard as well as an external parking space. The ground floor consists of a kitchen with a dining room, a guest toilet and a garage. A boiler room and an office are located in the basement, which is lowered to a half-level, which can be reached by the main staircase. The staircase also leads to the living room, which is raised half a level in relation to the ground floor and from which views are provided through the entire depth of the building on three sides. The first floor is designed as a night zone and consists of a master bedroom with a separate bathroom and wardrobe, a children's room, a second bathroom and a playroom. Since the house has a flat roof, a roof terrace has been formed on it, which is accessed by a spiral staircase from the porch in the back yard.
