Chestnut housing From concept to construction

Year............................................2009 Location.............Ljubljana, Slovenia Client.............................Bizaar d.o.o.

Architects ......... Andrej Kocjan, Miha Volgemut, Rok Žgalin Kobe, Ana Vrhovec The aim of the project was to create a very heterogeneous residential neighborhood, and yet not to lose i t s c o h e r e n c e. T h e b u i l d i n g prototype was designed with a fixed inwardness and a unified system of roofs and window openings. The prototype served as a background model for further terrace designs, which established successful relations between buildings and contributed to the expressiveness and vitality of the neighborhood.

Pirnar HQ Schematic design

Year............................................2014 Location.............Ljubljana, Slovenia Client..............................Pirnar d.o.o.

Architects....................Ana Vrhovec, Rok Žgalin Kobe This is a conceptual study for renovating an existing building's façade. The overall guiding idea for the design was to combine the two different sized parts of the complex into a unified architectural whole. To convey this concept, various approaches were used: different applications of horizontal and vertical cladding and panels would serve as a new layered skin of the building. Each time, an organic form was applied to create a fluid feel and a more contemporary appearance for an otherwise very conventional exterior.

These proposals compelled the client, who already had a conventional design in his hands, to think outside the box and rethink the image of his company.

Pirnar HQ From concept to construction Year.............................................2015 Location..............Ljubljana, Slovenia Client...............................Pirnar d.o.o.

Architects......................Ana Vrhovec, Rok Žgalin Kobe As a continuation of the preceding study this project is a reconstruction and a transformation of a workshop hall and an office building into a contemporary showroom, office, and production space for an aluminum door manufacturer. The main task was to create an appealing exterior, reflecting the companie's products, and values, to meet all the client's needs and at the same time transform a conventional building into a state-of-the-art architecture. The building was clad with vertical aluminum panels; the undulating skin wraps different parts and heights of the building into a coherent whole. The southern facade unfolds itself, drops to the ground and finaly develops into a garden fence, that encloses the courtyard and highlights the main entrance of the building.

The renovation design converted a group of old buildings into state-of-the-art architecture to make the client's brand stronger.

Glamping Box Design Development

Year............................................2014 Location............Pag Island, Croatia Client..........Ambassador&Co d.o.o.

Architects.....................Ana Vrhovec This mobile home is a modular prefabricated vacation house. In this case, as a part of a smaller resort, this home would also serve as a “glamping” accommodation.

Because the mobile home can be brought to different destinations, it enables the idea of glamping, which stands for “glam camping” or “luxury camping” and is meant to bring the world of luxury into nature and merges the world of first-class accommodations with indestination experiences. The basic layout can be freely combined into larger units of different sizes and shapes. Depending on the exterior materials applied, the same house can be placed in completely different climatic conditions and its architecture can adapt well to the specific characteristics of the site.

„Subterrane“ Thesis project: Underground mixed-use center

Year............................................2008 Location........................Thermal Spa resort at Rogaška Slatina, Slovenia Architect.......................Ana Vrhovec The design of a large-scale public multipurpose center is set on a clearing of a slope behind the Soča Hotel in Rogaška Slatina. The project deals with the relation of an inter vention with the existing historical health resort, a relationship that preserves the quality of natural and built fabric and adds new residential options at the same time. It seeks to determine the manner in which it is possible to include a new building in a historical environment based on subterranean architecture and explores new dimensions of underground living.

Wise space management delivered the client's principal request - a maximum sized living spaces.

„Swiss Knife“ Apartment From concept to construction, Project management Year............................................2007 Location.............Ljubljana, Slovenia Client......................................Private Architects..............Rok Žgalin Kobe, Ana Vrhovec

PS

This small apartment does not have enough room to function normally and still appear spacious. It has to have everything in one room: a kitchen, living room, and a large bedroom. They are all there, just not visible at the same time. The design is based on movable walls and parts of furniture, which can be folded and pulled out or entirely removed from sight. Depending on the time of day, the apartment configuration and the lighting can be transfor med into three completely different environments.

Innovative interior design made the impossible possible; one room comprised three different spaces and doubled the apartment's market value when sold soon after.

Apartment KG From concept to construction, Project management

Year............................................2008 Location..............The Alps, Slovenia Client......................................Private Architects..............Rok Žgalin Kobe, Ana Vrhovec A vacation home as a family winter retreat. Designed to be simple but playful enough so that eac h member of the family feels good and comfortable within its walls.

The minimalist cold, rigorous white surfaces and sharp edges are balanced with the warmth of walnut flooring, backgrounds, and screens.

All of the furniture is designed for the rooms to appear spacious. For example, the small children's room has a perforated wooden screen separating two large beds, and the wardrobe on the opposite side of the room is designed partly closed and partly open.

Apartment DK From concept to construction, Project management Year............................................2011 Location.............Ljubljana, Slovenia Client......................................Private Architects..............Rok Žgalin Kobe, Ana Vrhovec The design of this apartment is based on the contrast between the dark walnut floor and solid white pieces of furniture. The furniture is designed to blur the conventional shapes of typical parts of a residence; for example, the typical appearance of the kitchen or cupboards. The inclined lines add to the dynamics of the space as well because they transfor m the furniture into a virtual sculpture. In this sense, the kitchen works as an interesting background for the living room and dining room in the foreground.

Pirnar HQ From concept to construction Year.............................................2015 Location..............Ljubljana, Slovenia Client...............................Pirnar d.o.o.

Architects......................Ana Vrhovec, Rok Žgalin Kobe

The parti for the showroom is based on the connection between the interior and exterior space. The exterior design elements, e.g. the strip of lawn and the walkway at the entrance, continue into the reception. Also, the entire wall raising behind the reception desk, is a vertical garden, visually linking the showroom to the outside garden. The design of the ofce space on the rst oor is on the other hand more introvert, but designed in accordance with the architecture of the building. Green walls and ofce gardens continue the showroom features, while the white, glass and metal surfaces reect the design of the façade.

Year............................................2010 Location................Pohorje, Slovenia Client...............................Hotel Jakec Architects.....................Ana Vrhovec Renovation of an existing hotel building included spatial rearrangements and furniture design for the guest rooms. The proposal suggested three different color schemes, which randomly appear across the floors. To suit the character of children, who will be the predominant guests at this hotel, all of the furniture, colors, and materials applied are vivid, bright, and fun.

Year............................................2013 Location.............Ljubljana, Slovenia Client.........................Omahen d.o.o.

Architects.....................Ana Vrhovec This showroom was designed for a glass manufacturer and retailer. A new office space with a bigger showroom were needed, both in the same room. Therefore a new glass & steel structure was inserted into the existing space, extending the showroom into the production area.

The display of products - large glass plates inserted into a white monolith - and a simple office area were combined into a single multifunctional piece of furniture.

Around it, the transparent glass walls and ceiling were covered with bubble-like modular panels.

The renovated showroom was designed to show off the company's knowhow and to draw customers' attention to cuttingedge products and advanced technology.

VB Stand 2009 From concept to construction, Project management

Year............................................2009 Location.............Ljubljana, Slovenia Client.........Vila Bravum Consortium Architects..............Rok Žgalin Kobe, Ana Vrhovec The exhibition stand, which won first prize for excellence in fair stand design at the Ljubljana International Fair in 2009, was designed for a consortium of eighteen individual companies that manufacture and sell furniture and building equipment. The stand unites the stylistically different articles and exhibits into a coherent whole that is far more prominent and therefore more marketable than a large number of smaller individual stands. The innovative idea was a huge success and was repeated in various forms at several other fairs.

Invented a concept that united eighteen different exhibiting companies into a whole to help establish the group as a brand; the design won an award for excellence in fair stand design.

Year............................................2010 Location.............Ljubljana, Slovenia Client.........Vila Bravum Consortium Architects..............Rok Žgalin Kobe, Ana Vrhovec The design of this stand is the result of a thoughtfully choreographed route that leads the visitor through the ever-changing exhibition space of a model home covered with hanging ceiling slabs at two different heights. The composition of the modular walls and slabs designed specifically for this circular pavilion is based on horizontal and vertical lines and the main layout consists of a series of interconnected opened living spaces that could easily become an actual home in a real environment.

Following the success of the previous year's fair, the new concept once again attracted attention and praise, thus increasing the number of sales and visitors.

This exhibition stand was designed in half of the A2 exhibition hall at the Ljubljana fairground. Each of the twenty exhibiting companies had its own presentation concept and were all placed behind a four-meter-high screen wall. The solid wall works as a barrier, which again unites the various exhibitors into a coherent whole and separates them from the rest of the space. Wall openings provide visitors with a glimpse of the inside and are at the same time used as display windows for the most eye-catching exhibits.
