Ljubljana, June 2025 – The DARS Grič office building project, built in 2025, has been awarded the International Architizer A+ Award Winner in the Sustainable Commercial Building category. The award acknowledges the project’s outstanding contribution to the development of modern and sustainable commercial architecture and is an important recognition of Slovenian expertise, design and execution. […]
The buildings designed and built over the last 80 years, since the end of the Second World War, can be broadly divided into two main groups. The first includes buildings where the load-bearing structure is retreating from the edge of the building envelope into the interior, and the second includes buildings where the building envelope […]
Overheating in buildings is one of the biggest challenges to energy and resource efficiency. Protection from direct sunlight during the summer months, a key potential source of excess heat, defines the fundamental visual expression of the design. The Vrbina industrial and business zone is located in the south-eastern part of Krško, along the Sava River. […]
The Leokom production plant was included in the selection of the most representative wooden buildings in Slovenia last year as part of the exhibition Time for Wood – Innovative Use of Wood in Contemporary Slovenian Architecture at the Gallusovo nabrežje in Ljubljana. The exhibition was organised by the Afront Institute as part of the Open […]
The geometry of global and local economies intertwined in a combination of concrete and wood The economic boom of the first decade of the 21st century. In the last century, in close connection with an expansive and poorly controlled spatial policy of expansion of production and craft areas in medium-sized settlements along motorways and regional […]
With simple space measures, we have transformed what were once dark offices into a vibrant working environment. The key challenge of the renovation project was to provide a transparent, relatively bright, yet individualised working environment for the engineers of a large company in Krško. The renovated premises are located in a very deep, unused industrial […]
The alternative solution of the competition project – which complements the client’s brief – proposes to move stationary traffic almost entirely underground, which significantly improves the quality of the city-forming urban open spaces. In terms of programme and volume, the MŠK buildings dominate their surroundings. A new cultural and sports centre is created, with an […]
Can the development of multi-storey timber technology revive the broken link with traditional building? Multi-storey multi-dwelling in timber construction represents a new milestone in construction technology. It involves many additional challenges that are almost negligible in terms of complexity in prefabricated individual construction. In addition to the proverbially more problematic seismic construction in Slovenia, which […]
Zero-energy buildings need to generate some of their own energy to ensure carbon neutrality. The integration of a solar power plant into a building envelope is a major architectural challenge. Project description:With this project, we have tried to combine our own visions of a sustainable society and a sustainable company of the future, based on […]
Fully flexible content, structural shading around the entire perimeter. The design of commercial buildings must take into account two fundamental principles: the ability of the building’s contents to adapt to change at relatively short and frequent intervals, and a sufficiently robust structural frame to ensure the building’s long-term use and longevity without additional investment in […]
