“Hayrack” apartments, Cerklje, Slovenia
2006-07
Ofis Arhitekti



The site is the edge of alpine town Cerklje with beautiful views to surrounding fields and mountains.
The building has L shape that is opened towards these views and encloses a protected 300 year old tree. Apartments are social – they were sold to Slovenian Housing Fund for young families at price 900 EUR/m2. Therefore the budget had to be very limited. The building materials are very simple, economical and local.
Wood beams are used on the façade with elements and patterns of Slovenian traditional hayrack – wooden structure for storing grass and farm equipment.
