- Originally named ‘Danube Flower’ and built over 35 years ago to become a landmark at Belgrade waterfront
-At one point it was a public recreation center and home to an exclusive restaurant
-The project was sponsored by the communist government of the time and endorsed by then ubiquitous president J.B.Tito, who was the first guest at the restaurant on November 22nd 1973
-Over the years it decayed and finally was shut down during the civil war that took place during the 1990's
-In the 2008 architects 4of7 brought life back to this structure and turned it back into a fitness center that takes pride in promoting an active lifestyle
