A show flat in the new modern complex Situla in Ljubljana, Slovenia by GAO architectsDecember 16th, 2016 by Sumit Singhal
Article source: GAO architects A show flat in the new modern complex Situla, situated next to the main train station in Ljubljana, the capital city of Slovenia, designed by GAO architects. Gao architects designed the interior of the flat, based upon a story of living an urban, dynamic and creative life in the core of the city. We associated the urban lyrics, colourfulness and liveliness of the passing trains with a sort of rough design of certain lofts which can imitate the modern way of living with its fusion of different decorative elements. They can reflect a very artistic way of living due to the choice of materials.  Image Courtesy © Miran Kambic

The center of the kitchen, the kitchen counter made from oak tree wood, is most definitely the heart of the apartment. We used a construction pier as a base for the kitchen counter which is built around it and which serves as a multifunctional element, offering not only a surface for cooking and serving but also as a wonderful socializing area.

The atrium was upgraded by incorporating some old wooden railway tracks as a sort of platform used for passing the garden and its fragile decoration.

This works as a linking element for the interior and exterior.

The walls of the hallway are covered in wallpaper displaying birch trees. These elements create a soft transition from a public to a more private part of the flat.
