Its both economically efficient and functionally flexible as no structural elements are placed within the apartments, which are of different sizes and structures.
The development sits on a site of 60 x 28 m which are set out on a hill with a view of the Izola Bay on one side and surrounding hills and vista on the other.
Each of the apartments have a uniquely designed terrace that provides an intimate outdoor space that flows seamlessly from indoors. Naturally Ventilated, the terrace features a semi-transparent textile shade that not only provides much needed shade from the Mediterranean climate, but also a good degree of privacy. The textile shades carry varying colours which add to the ambience of each of the apartments but ultimately make the facade of the building a sight to behold. Strong geometry, varying textures and bold colours characterise the elevations of the blocks, creating something striking and engaging for a tightly budgeted project.
Each of the balcony modules are designed as an efficient system, that provides, shade, ventilation and privacy adding great value to an affordable housing project.
