Centrally located in the Mirje Suburbs of Ljubljana, the villa’s stacked boxy volume is evocative of a pyramid; the shape is in reference to the Plecknik-designed pyramidal pedestrian archway sited nearby. The facade’s double perforated panels are an abstract interpretation of the stone textures of the surrounding historic architecture. “The rough classical façade was represented with double-perforated panels; the task was to achieve texture through the illusion of depth which allows a light presence and enhances the shadows and reflections off a palette of beige tints,” write the architects. “The three-dimensional texture creates a dynamic abstraction while encapsulating its coherent volume. Diagonal crosses act as a functional and graphic representation.”

The interior design mixes two different and distinct elements: cool and exposed structural concrete contrasted with warm-toned wood. The architects separated the programming by floor: the ground floor comprises the open-plan living and communal spaces; the first floor is for the children’s play areas and bedrooms; and the second floor is for the parents and master bedroom. The minimalist and modern interior decor matches the contemporary exterior.
