Wellness Sky Fitness Center

“Danube Flower” building was built 35 years ago, which is a landmark at Belgrade waterfront.The newbuilding was designed byarchitect firm 4of7to feel like entering a cloud and that’s the reason project named “Wellness Sky”, a fitness center.

In order to achieve this they used an open concept space that uses reflective resin floor finishes and semi translucent stretched ceiling hung in a faceted pattern. the building form has been restored focusing on its unusual triangular form. The main volume of the building, triangular in plan, is elevated some fifteen meters above the river and the ground level with the pedestrian esplanade. Cantilevers are reaching out some twelve meters giving a levitating feel to the building. In addition one more structural move is crucial for seamless interaction between exterior and interior of the building. Concrete floor-slab and ceiling shell are not connected at the perimeter of the building, allowing for the continuity of the glass façade to the full extent. Uninterrupted glass strip, with the total length of 150 meters, is wrapping around the building to give constant presence of the Danube River in the interior, with sweeping views reaching far out, both upstream and downstream.
