House L, Važec

Family house on the site of an old stone building, Važec

The house in Važec was built on the site of a roughly hundred-year-old stone building in poor condition. The owners could have demolished it completely but wanted to keep what was worth keeping. The original stonework is very beautiful, so we fitted the layout of the new house to the walls that were sound and made them part of the new building.

The design is built on the contrast between old and new. A modern glass extension, working as a winter garden, adjoins the preserved stone part. The rest of the house is built of ceramic blocks.

Designed in 2022, completed in 2023.
