P&R's first major commission, won in a public competition. The Mladost (Youth) public sports park near the river Sava required an indoor and an outdoor Olympic swimming pool. The idea of elevating the indoor pool onto a podium came from the old Sava Baths wooden facility, destined for demolition along with a couple of dilapidated Modernist buildings in the area. Most of the services were dispatched to the stone-clad ground-floor pediment, so that the "representative" bigger spaces could interrelate embedded in the superimposed aluminium container.
