Constructivism and Modern Vila Grad by Groleger Arhitekti
Principle of Constructivism and Modern Vila Grad Landscape

The Cladded with Dark Gray Stone Vila Grad
The Interior Good Lighting Vila Grad
Beauty at its essence is its very aesthetically from the surrounding environment. A scene in the lush green environment gives the pure white building a friendly and at the same time luxury aura. A very important urban planning aspect was to maintain the rich green tissue of the surrounding hill and connect it with the newly designed green par terre. In close proximity to the historic Old Town of Ljubljana lies the new sculptural building, embedded in a green oasis beneath the hill and the old castle, the city landmark.
A clearly structured floor plan offers exceptional living qualities. The living and dining area is designed as an open, flowing space, extending into a spacious terrace. Large scale glazed windows create in the interior good lighting conditions and spatial continuity. Two fundamental elements determine the character of the building: The “spine” and the “living cell”. The second term refers to the large and small lounge.
A corridor and a flight of stairs connect the two levels. All ground floor apartments enjoy also gardens, forming a close relationship with the surrounding landscape. Floor to ceiling sliding glass doors create seamless transitions between outside and inside. In the more private sleeping area are bedrooms, children’s rooms and bathrooms, oriented to the courtyard which serves as a small shielded children’s. The exterior reflects the internal structure. The more calm courtyard façade turned towards the green hill, is cladded with dark gray stone. Living room and terraces alternate like a chequerboard pattern, the façade is a result of a dynamic, lively, rhythmic “living cell” on the skeletal structure. The “stacking principle” of the big lounge is visible in the composition of the white street façade.
