House "D"

Words from the architect

The House "D" is built into a very generic Slovenian semi-rural suburbia. It creates an ambiguous, soft relation to the typical double-pitched roof, not-too-big-windows and at-least-one-balcony houses in it's direct surroundings.

The steel framed upper storey of the residence houses the living-swimming-entertaining areas; suspended above the green painted, green covered concrete plinth.

Approaching the site, the house rises above you and is perceived bottom-up. A very cinematic sequence underlines the house; especially when experienced from its immediate surroundings.

You can imagine the client's family enjoying sunbathing on a pool deck, high above the roofs of neighboring houses, with an Arcadian view to the hilly landscape of Slovenia.
