Naselje radničkih obiteljskih kuća u Donjoj Dubravi iz 1941. godine

The housing state of workers family houses in Donja Dubrava from 1941 was designed on the government initiative with the intention of constructing a hausing estate model according to the new political climate. On the model of "Friendly" countries, particulary Germany, the estate with 84 housing units was constructed consisting of twin bungalows with a slanting roof. Special attention was paid to the environment and the common central square. Unlike in the well-known regime-backed examples of other countries, the project itself was neither innovative nor made by a renowned pro-regime architect. The entire undertaking was conceived on an interdisciplinary basis at the Ministry of Health, where the Commmission for the Construction of Croatian Workers' Family Houses was set up. The author of the house types was the architect Boris devide, an employee of the Ministry of Civil Engineering, but his name was mentioned in the press, which otherwise closly followed the construction of his prototypal workwrs' housing estate. The estate has preserved its recognizable character even today. The quality is no doubt in the wide streets, the large plots and the relatively big two-bedroom apartments with the outbuildings, whose sequence, interrupted by gardens, constitutes a well-propartioned integral space. The estaterepresents a historical and town-planning example of the "ideal workers' housing estate" according to the criteria of the period known as being markedly politically motivated and anti urban. However, as far as architecture in concerned, an undoubtedly good solution was found by combining rural and functional architecture. Compared to the best exampleof the previous period - Vlado Antolić's white-colllar housing estate Cvjetno naselje from 1939-1940, the workers' colony in Dubrava was a step back, because it abandoned the line of development whose result it was, and that is accepting the principles and the idiom of modern architecture.
