Rozžna Dolina – a place of opportunity or conflict? Any construction in Ljubljana’s Rozná dolina valley is much more a problem of the question than a question of the challenge. Any architect who has been through the planning process, communicating with the administrative authorities, the public and local residents will agree that the urban renewal […]
The contemporary restrained self-confidence of urban renewal in the centre of Murska Sobota. Project description:The redevelopment of Slovenske Street – South is the second phase of the redevelopment of Murska Sobota’s city centre. Previously, as part of a wider renovation in 2019, the t. i. Luther’s Alley by the municipal building, on the axis between […]
At the interface with a local urban park. The starting points we took into account for the design of the second apartment building in Mirje are entirely the same as the first one (Mirje Apartment Building), but we were faced with the slightly more delicate situation of a new building. Its western façade completes the […]
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 […]
Finding the relationship between the past and the future – between sustainability and profit. By amending the municipal spatial plan in 2016, the Municipality of Ljubljana relaxed the urban planning conditions for building in the previously relatively conservatively protected areas of the Rozná dolina, Tabor, Mirje, lower Bežigrad and lower Šiška. The potential level of […]
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 […]
A mere 400 square metres of paved area was enough to re-establish an important urban axis. Murska Sobota is a flat city that has grown more or less freely over the last hundred years. Growth did not follow a predetermined geometry, but rather the individual urban districts were based on key infrastructure axes, i.e. the […]
A municipal centre without an urban tradition, a myth or a real opportunity? The satellite settlements of Ljubljana, which undoubtedly include Ivančna Gorica, chronically suffer from a lack of urban identity, as the construction of the city’s central functions has not kept pace with its population expansion. As a result, a relatively large number of […]
SNG Drama is housed in a historicist theatre with a small stage, inadequate stage technology and a functionally modest auditorium. The rehearsal spaces are inadequate, and the changes in the set-up of individual performances require severe compromises in terms of content and scenography. This unsustainable situation has persisted for several decades, and drama theatre has […]
Should a fire station tower be more than just a facility for drying fire hoses and practicing rescue? Slovenian settlements are divided into three key types. The first group are those where continuous settlement, and thus the centrality of settlement formation, can be traced back to the Middle Ages or even further back in history. […]
