Mothers home is above all a home – a special one. Architecture responds strongly to its program and tells a livid story.
It can be said it is located between two cities.
Situated in the residential area, next to the park bordering the main Ljubljana cemetery its design inspires sense of security and purpose.
And these are two essential needs of its occupants.
The concept and the program are clearly readable on the facade.
The public ground floor is separated from other more private levels with a strong caesura.
And the double facade embraces the house from two sides, with two materials.
Strong but delicately formed concrete speaks about safety and fragility, while the double glass facade hides and reflects.
The chosen materials offer a feeling of gentle but uncompromising support and security.
The rhythm of transparency hides, reveals and communicates with the environment.It tells the story of a home: safe and warm.
