CONTEMPORARAY SLOVENIAN HOUSE IN THE EYES OF YOUNG ARCHITECTS

Z razvojem slovenske družbe se spreminjajo stanovanjske potrebe prebivalcev. Posledično se spreminja tudi družina 21. stoletja, ki je ekološko ozaveščena, zahteva trajnostno arhitekturo prijazno okolju. Zato smo se odločili posodobiti tradicionalno slovensko dvokapnico in sloneč na tej tradiciji nadgraditi hišo, ki bo prebivalcem ponujala sodobne življenjske standarde. Na pogled enostavna dvokapnica skriva modularnost prostorov, ki jih lahko lastnik prilagaja glede na trenutne potrebe. Enostavnost arhitekture in enostavnost oblikovanja prostora poudarja glavni arhitekturni element našega pogleda na slovensko sodobno hišo, galerijski prehod, torej „most“ hiše.

That considered, we have decided to modernize the traditional Slovenian gable roof house, and design a house that bases upon that tradition and create a residential space that would offer a contemporary life to its residents. What seems as a simple gable roof house is, in fact, hiding the modularity of living spaces which are changeable according to owner’s current needs. The simplicity of exterior and interior design is emphasizing the main element of our view point on Slovenian contemporary housing, the gallery transition space and basically “the bridge” of the house. That transition space, made of red corten steel, metaphorically connects the traditional and contemporary Slovenian housing. Our house also reflects future Slovenian society, which is keeping up with world trends. In spite of that, the society will maintain some traditional elements and will, furthermore, develop on its own
