The landscape of the St. Regis Belgrade creates a dynamic public space at the nexus of several major roadways and the city’s bike and pedestrian waterfront path. Drawing from Belgrade’s urban culture, natural context, and layered history, the design introduces a central urban waterfront space at the heart of Kula Belgrade, celebrating a new destination for the city and building upon SWA’s work on the Sava Promenada.
Flowing paving patterns are inspired by the movement of the nearby Sava River and the forms of its adjacent islands, establishing a setting for the iconic SOM-designed tower while reinforcing connections to the historic city.
On the north side of the site, the landscape creates a central, multi-use civic plaza adaptable across seasons, both protected and open, with framed views of the river. The design interfaces with the Belgrade Mall and public promenade, linking the space to the broader waterfront experience.
