Monastery of Archangel Gabriel is located in the city park of Zemun. It was necessary to design several small buildings, which would complete the monastery complex: the parish hall, souvenir, space for the exhibition of icons and space for candles. We applied the style of Byzantine spiritual architecture in a contemporary way. The forms are simple, almost modern. Materials used are traditional: wood and plastered walls. The spaces are designed to include plenty natural light. We placed the buildings in a way that would minimally disturb the existing distribution of vegetation in the park.
