Danilo Vladisavljević

Among the many projects was his family house, built for himself and his wife Ljubica and their sons Lazar and Vladislav and daughter Bela at 57 Gospodar Jevremova Street. In terms of typology, the house belongs to corner buildings, with less prominent angles, almost square in plan. The facades, executed in the Art Nouveau style, with wrought-iron decoration, corresponded to the spirit of the time; new artistic trends started developing in Belgrade at the beginning of the 20th century. He, like many of his contemporaries in the profession, built various residential buildings for influential citizens and implemented pioneering urban projects in Belgrade and area, for example, the Military Hospital Complex in Vračar; facilities for military purposes such as the military barracks in Niš, Valjevo and Smederevska Palanka; and two hotels in the prestigious centre core of Belgrade – the "Hotel Splendid" and the "Hotel Union" which continue to be cultural and tourist landmarks there. Particularly fruitful was his collaboration with the engineer Miloš Savčić on multi-storey outlet buildings such as The Trade and Export Bank at Terazije 5, Vračar Savings Bank (ex-Premetna) at Kneza Mihaila 26 and the industrial complex of the Belgrade Slaughterhouse. During this cooperation, Danilo Vladisavljević was responsible for the facades and for further development of Miloš Savčić’s designs. In 1908, he collaborated with architect Svetozar Jovanović on the Officers’ Cooperative Building at Masarikova 2 in Belgrade which exemplifies one of the most representative Secession art in architecture in Belgrade. In the process of transforming public spaces in Belgrade, architect Vladisavljević particularly gave important contributions through cooperation with Miloš Savčić in the realization of the complex of Belgrade's first industrial Slaughterhouse in Karaburma district as well as the pioneering urban complex of the Military Hospital in Belgrade.
