Each floor of the house provided a different level of privacy and relation to the outside space.
The underground gymnasium, which contained working space, fitness, sauna, swimming pool, music room and three atriums, shaped a vast base of the house which surrounded almost the entire plot. It was marked by atriums establishing continuous relationship between interior and exterior spaces. Glass walls framed the rooms and swimming pool which the natural light could be entered the spaces
The living room with reception area, open kitchen and dining area were positioned the first floor and continued over the external terraces which double the space. The walk around planted atriums which appeared as small gardens provided glimpses of the world below. Terrace overlooked the neighboring wild green area protected and owned by the city, which was the extended ‘visual’ garden of the house.”
There was another smooth transition between inside and outside. On the upper floor, there was bedroom with integrated bathroom facilities continues onto the terrace of the same size as the room. This terrace provided a broader view, an orientation towards the city and the neighborhood.
The modern house was managed as a series of carefully planned spatial sequences starting with a front garden. This garden was open, not fenced off as the gardens in the neighborhood. An almost semi public area which simultaneously belonged to the street and the house, was formed.
“The polished concrete exterior platform, such as a kind of treshhold, referred to the shallow stairs leading to the living room level. It had a smooth system of circulation within different fields of activity in the house. Terrazzo floors tagged more public areas while there were wooden floors for the private ones in douglas fir.
The house was developed in concrete which enabled vast spans and spaces. The concrete gave on site, sanded and polished. A sedimental character of the material was revealed.
The house’s outside appearance was enigmatic, entirely different from the houses in the neighborhood. The closed cubic shaped with a street facade made of polished concrete appeared nothing of the luxurious world inside.
The Slovenian practice bevk perović arhitekti embodied this luxurious villa. The house design was situated in a prestigious neighborhood of single family houses in the vicinity of the centre of Ljubljana. Due to the small size of the lot, a large part of the minimalist house was concealed in the ground forming an introvert world secluded from the surroundings.
