rusan architects adds contemporary touches to hotel bellevue in croatia

built in 1967, the original hotel bellevue was designed by the croatian architect zdravko bregovac.

while featuring stunning design elements, exemplified by a central atrium, the structure was modified by rusan arkitektura to better reflect the modern requisites for exclusivity and relaxation. the atrium was updated with dark teak surfaces which contrast with the light airy space and white finishing of the original design. to better integrate the building with the courtyard, a convertible glazed passageway connects guests to the inner sanctuary which features mature trees from the hotels initial opening.

bregovac’s characteristic linear styling has been broken up with hard geometric forms which maintains the structures modernist character while creating a more intimate environment. the motif of dark v. light, found in the atrium, continues to he external facade via the horizontal brise-soleil system of shutters, maintaining balance and continuity throughout the project. beneath the lobby resides the pool, exercise and massage facilities. the interior walls are finished with color mosaics intended to create a fun atmosphere by valentina butumljević, damjan roce and klara rusan.

the reception desk comprised of indian apple veneer fits seamless with the terrazzo flooring and persian travertine columns
