Text description provided by the architect. The house is located in a suburb near the center of Ljubljana, surrounded by mostly single-family houses and a busy road. The customer requested to purchase a three-bedroom house with an area of no more than 200 square meters and containing a large living room and guest room/study. They also requested a garage, bike and garden storage next to the entrance. Since there is an existing old garden on the plot, the house is positioned to retain much of the existing lawn and trees, but there is also a paved area at the entrance where the children can play or roller skate.
The covered garage becomes the main feature of the project, forming a kind of canopy that highlights the main entrance of the house. Functionally, this is an area that protects the car, but also serves as a playground for the children to play in during inclement weather.
A tree was planted under the canopy as an accent to the entrance area. Visually, the canopy, storage rooms and house form a unified volume with a unified skin assembled from red brick tiles covering vertical and inclined planes and creating a perforated lace structure in front of the service room. The closed facade and canopy also provide insulation from the busy road and maintain an intimate relationship with the interior of the house.
The opposite garden facade is flat and simple, with large sunshades that allow southern sunlight to enter. Large windows connect the interior to the garden. The interior of the house is simple and functional. The space is optimized to provide many rooms and services in a small area. Some areas combine dual functions, such as the staircase that also doubles as a bookshelf and the study with a pull-out king-size bed that can be used as a guest room.
