The focus of this paper is on architect Miroslav Mirko Jovanovic's modernist design for the residential building with an art gallery in Pariska Street in Belgrade, one of the first to use exterior brick veneer in Belgrade. Designed and built in the 1960s, it is considered a very successful interpolation into a highly-valued historic setting. The goal of the paper is to offer a comprehensive and detailed presentation of this understudied work of architecture and to point to its importance in the residential architecture of Belgrade. Exceptionally helpful in this respect has been the interview with the wife of Miroslav Jovanovic, architect Danica Milosavljevic, whose design studio worked on the elaboration and realization of the design concept for the building intended for housing artists. Her vivid memories supplement the picture of the building with the life of its dwellers, for the most part distinguished Serbian painters. The paper draws attention to many and diverse themes in Jovanovic's architectural work, such as architectural detail, the A- and B-side of the building or the play with levels.
