Adaptacija družinske hiše je vedno izzivalna naloga. Tomislav Ćurković in Zoran Zidarić pa ponujata zelo enostaven odgovor - čiste oblike, dobre detajle in zmerna
sorazmerja.
Stara hiša v Andrićevi ulici 25 je značilen zgled brezoblične konfekcijske gradnje petdesetih in šestdesetih let. Kamnit temelj, ometano pritličje, streha vzporedna z ulico, vhod z bočne zatrepne strani. Arhitekta z adaptacijo zavržeta dvostrešno streho. Z dodano veliko vzdolžno loggio na dvoriščno stran in postavitvijo stopnišča ob južno stran reorganizirata pritličje. Garažo razširita v globino in nadgradita nadstropje. S povečanjem volumna pa hkrati obdržita obstoječe strukturne odnose. Središčni hodnik, ki deli prostor na ulično in dvoriščno stran, postane okostje nove razvrstitve.

The adaptation of a family
house is always a great challenge. But Tomislav
Ćurković and Zoran Zidarić offer a very simple solution – pure form, good details and
balanced proportions.
The old house at Andrijevićeva Ulica 25 is a typical example
of the impersonal, ready-to-use buildings of the 1950s and
1960s - stone foundations, a ground floor with plaster façade, eaves parallel to the street and an entrance located on the
gable side of the house. The adaptation eliminated the gable roof. The architects reorganised the ground floor by adding a large loggia, which stretches along the whole length of the building facing the courtyard, and a stairway on the
building’s south side. They extended the garage, giving it more depth, and added another floor to the house, keeping the existing structural relations.
The central corridor, which divides the dwelling into areas looking onto the street and
those looking onto the
courtyard, has become the
basis for the new layout.
