Zaha Hadid Architects has revealed plans to transform a former textile factory in Belgrade, Serbia into a 94,000sq m (1m sq ft) mixed use leisure development.

Greek company Lamda Development, which bought the Beko factory in 2007, appointed EPR Architects as hotel consultants.

Located near Kalemegdan Castle, overlooking the junction of Sava and Danube Rivers, the Beko site will house a luxury boutique hotel, a congress centre along with residential, retail and commercial space.

Zaha Hadid’s masterplan moves away from traditional notions of urban zoning and functional separation by creating public space and private areas that flow into one another.

The project has been developed as a series of flow lines that carve the landscape and enable outdoor spaces, balconies, roof edges and bridges all flow into one another. The group floor will open to the city, enabling civic space to flow through the site.

Zaha Hadid said the project focuses on the urban regeneration of the site at the intersection of key cultural projects in Belgrade.

“Following the region’s strong modernist traditions, the masterplan has applied new concepts and methods that examine and organise the programmes of the site. It defines a composition of buildings that addresses the complexity of 21st century living patterns.”
