Condominium Trnovski Pristan

Interior view of the building.

During the day, the sunlight reflecting off the glass surfaces causes the windows to look dark. The black pixels of the tiles soften these edges binding them to the light ceramic membrane. A distant view of the building further enhances this effect.

View of the 'salamander house' amidst its context.

The brighter pixels of the tiles (mostly yellow) re-establish a dialogue with the natural surround along the quay and the willow leaves and greenery within it. It is thus that the 'salamander house' adapts and generates a new context within the existing one.
