Sažetak
At the very centre of the “Green Horseshoe” of Zagreb parks, in a housing block facing south in Žerjavića street, the architect Herman Bollé designed and built a representative residential building with apartments for rent. He owned this building and lived there in his large apartment with his family from 1899 to his death in 1926. The front of this house stands out among the facades of other houses in the centre of Zagreb, with its four deep loggias decorated with Neo-Renaissance triforas and rich allegorical architectural decorations representing the arts and crafts as symbols of their maker’s profession. The interior of the house is richly decorated, mostly with elements made of wrought iron. The walls of the staircase are decorated with vegetable ornaments painted by the teachers and students of the Zagreb School of Arts and Crafts, of which Bollé was one of the founders and respected teachers. After studying the fine plans of the building, now published for the first time, and the surviving photographs, one cannot but conclude this building to be an outstanding and representative example of Zagreb residential architecture at the turn of the nineteenth century.
