The contemporary holiday houses, situated at the foot of Slovenia’s most majestic mountains, subtly intertwine tradition, innovation, nature, and architecture. Their concept responds on multiple levels to the rich Alpine architectural heritage and the challenges of their unique location on the edge of Triglav National Park, at the tripoint where the Alps have historically connected the cultures of Slovenia, Italy, and Austria for centuries. Nestled at the forest’s edge above Lake Jasna, they redefine the model of living on steep terrain. Through a contemporary interpretation of Alpine wooden construction, they emphasise the necessity of a thoughtful and subtle building culture in the European mountain landscape.

Nestled in the tranquil scenery of the Pacific Northwest, Discovery Bay House exemplifies a harmonious blend of intellectual depth, artistic innovation, and natural harmony. This custom home was designed for Michael Ross, a discerning client who discovered the architectural studio Dekleva Gregoric Architects after being captivated by an ocean-view residence they designed in Maui, Hawaii. Originally from New York and having spent years in Los Angeles’s entertainment sector, Michael aimed to create a spacious retreat with sweeping views, allowing him to host family and friends. His first meeting with the architectural team and the discussion about their design philosophy set the tone for an engaging creative process. Continue reading Dekleva Gregoric

To an industrial designer’s intent of living and working together, we replied with a design studio experiment – a hidden underground addition in the unused backyard of a typical row house. Situated in a ‘70s suburban housing area of the well-preserved medieval town of Škofja Loka, the studio’s green roof is a mere incline in the former north-side backyard, located right next to the public walkway. On one side, a segment of it is cut out to make room for an entry ramp leading to a secluded atrium and further on to the studio. The atrium is conceived as an outdoor foyer, providing the studio’s only light source. Continue reading Dekleva Gregoric

The region of Karst was once covered with Oak trees that Venetians have extensively used for building up the City on water. They have left the wind to peel off earth revealing limestone grounds.
