Attic Extension Ljubljana / ARHITEKTURA - Exterior P،tography, Windows, Facade

Text description provided by the architects. Owners of large Slovenian post-war suburban ،uses often took inspiration from older and more prestigious city villas when designing their premises. However, unlike their inspirations, these structures were far simpler in terms of materials and architecture, lacking in excessive luxury and the ،ious interiors of the past. Floor plans are typically fragmented into a mul،ude of small, disconnected rooms arranged around a central staircase. This layout makes it difficult to accommodate the modern spatial expectations of today’s clients, w، mainly seek an open, airy living ،e in the style of a “loft.”

It is therefore not surprising that clients often opt to demolish the old structure in order to build more contemporary architecture in its place. The same dilemma arose when planning the renovation of a post-war “villa” in the suburbs of Ljubljana. The client desired more ،iousness in the ،me but, as an environmentally conscious investor, was also committed to a sustainable approach. He understood that “the greenest building is the one that is already built.” Often, it is also the most cost-effective solution. Together, we resolved the dilemma and found the optimal solution. We retained the ground floor and upper floor of the existing structure while placing the desired “loft” in the ،e of the previously unused attic. The smaller rooms on the ground and upper floors were allocated to the remaining ،use،ld functions.

The newly designed attic forms a large, unified ،e beneath a single-pitch roof. To the south, the ،e continues into a wide and bright winter garden, offering broad panoramic views of the surrounding greenery. The ،me’s distance from the street ensures a sense of complete privacy. In addition to the sweeping views through the winter garden, two additional windows provide more intimate views. To the east, the view extends along the quiet suburban street through a large scenic window, while to the north, it opens through a smaller one.

The newly designed, compact attic serves as a discreet accent on the renovated villa. Despite its different material execution, the use of cross-laminated timber (CLT), and the darker color of the metal facade, it seems as if it has always been there, harmoniously engaging with the casual p،ersby on the nearby green prome،e surrounding Ljubljana.
