New Slovenia architecture projects with building news and architectural images, plus architects background. Slovenian real estate updates from across this Central European country.
We include new properties like the Hotel Natura, Rogla, design by architects Enota. This new Slovenian hotel building is one of the first points of contact for visitors to the Rogla sports and tourist resort. Built as the final addition to a group of hotels, it represents perhaps the biggest visual departure from the recognizable expression of the previous interventions, which referenced the local, rurally developed landscape to a larger degree.
We also show the Cukrarna Gallery in Ljubljana designed by Scapelab. Cukrarna is a former sugar refinery, built in 1828. During its’ two-hundred-year history, it was a sugar refinery, destroyed in a disastrous fire, and later a tobacco factory, a textile factory, a military barracks, and a homeless shelter.
Finally, we feature the Ljubljana Railway Station Hall by SADAR+VUGA. The upgrade of the rail infrastructure consists of a new railway station hall, the reorganization of passenger and freight tracks with new covered platforms, refurbished and expanded underpassage, renovation of the early 20th century station and the new green plazas on the eastern and western side.

Wellness Center Orhidelia – since the demanded program of wellness center is very extensive and in parts it demands overcoming great spans and big heights of inner spaces, putting up classically conceived building on central green plot would fill up last remaining open area in thermal complex and largely degraded its spatial quality.

Velenje Car Park, Slovenian building design by Enota Architects – Velenje was designed as a garden city and as such, it had a lot of unoccupied ground-level surfaces. With the increase in the number of vehicles, these surfaces began to turn into car parks.
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.
