The starting point for the design concept of the new house is the trestle as a traditional representative of wooden construction in Slovenia. Parallel free-standing walls of "Hayrack" are placed on the site chosen for the construction. Volumes with a specific purpose are inserted between the walls. The volumes are covered with longitudinal gable roofs connecting the walls of the trestles. This unique approach creates a VILLA HAYRACK.

The property on which the house is located encompasses a picturesque hillside under a forest and along a stream near Ljubljana. The house is situated on a south-facing plateau. The location offers open views of the distant hills around Ljubljana. Access to the house is via a winding path that follows the natural configuration of the terrain. The path reveals picturesque views of the house, which is sequentially shown from different angles, and of the landscape.
Materials: The walls on the north side of the house are made of solid, kneaded Alpine wood, free of chemicals, glues and are a Slovenian product and design. The southern part of the living volume structure is made of skeleton steel frames. Larch also hugs the interior of the house, sometimes in the form of logs, other times in the form of wooden shingles on the ceiling.
Facade: The façade combines elegance with durability. Metal panels provide a modern aesthetic, complemented by timber beams for visual appeal and natural ventilation. Glass walls maximize natural light, blurring indoor-outdoor boundaries and fostering connection with the surroundings.
Shading: Dynamic shading elements offer adaptable solutions. Moving wooden panels and blinds provide customizable shading, enhancing the ambiance and functionality of the space.
The wall panels are spaced differently to allow different levels of light transmission, different views, different levels of privacy. Where necessary, they are more widely spaced, e.g. on the south side, where the living and sleeping areas are located. On the north side, the dormers are recessed. The most charming and unique feature of the house is the large 4m long sliding panels on the south side of the living area. The panels have spaced timber beams. The sliding panels offer openness and closure to the south façade. They allow for adaptation and scenography according to the needs depending on weather, privacy, possibility of transition from inside to outside.
The investor highly values the house's picturesque hillside setting near Ljubljana and its commitment to using natural, unprocessed materials, reflecting a vision for an environmentally harmonious home. The adaptable features, such as large sliding panels and efficient systems, enhance the functionality and comfort of the home while fostering a profound connection to nature. This thoughtful integration of sustainability, tradition, and modernity exemplifies architectural excellence.
