Ljubljana’s Conservatory of Music and Ballet is one of the oldest music schools in Slovenia, dating back to 1919. Located in the immediate proximity of many historical buildings and other important monuments, the overall renovation aimed to improve the existing program and some technical features of the school’s facilities, while preserving the original volume and structure.

The house is intended for a couple near Litija, who are on the threshold of a third life span and who have courageously decided to sell the old oversized family house and build a new ground floor house on the more beautiful southern part of the plot.
The project for the extension of the General Hospital in Šempeter was won on a national architectural competition in 2007 and completed as part of a nationwide grid of ER units in Slovenia in 2015.
The extension of the General Hospital in Šempeter houses: OR Block, ER unit, Endoscopy unit, central kitchen and warehouse for the whole hospital complex. The extension is also the main connection (corridor) between the ‘old’ and the ‘new’ hospital building.

The PATIO HOUSE, measuring 180 m2 is situated on the outskirts of Ljubljana’s city center. The plot encompasses 550 m2 and lies adjacent to a prominent 30‑km‑long recreational promenade, which encircles the city like a green ring. To the south the plot borders an area of a future housing construction, which has not yet been determined. This attractive space offers all the benefits of living in nature, while having all the advantages of the city.
With a bit of inventivness and imagination you can easily turn a classical one bedroom apartment into a comfortable cosy home! Making use of the unused attic and having no fear of knocking down some interior walls and ceilings is a perfect idea how to expand your living space and cleverly build a modern apartment for a young couple.
The house is located in Rozna Dolina district, (literally »flower valley«) within the city center of Ljubljana.
The area was largely undeveloped until after the 1895 Ljubljana earthquake, when developers started looking for cheap land near industry to build housing for workers. The low-lying meadows in what is now Rozna Dolina were purchased in the 1890s by the Slovene Workers Building Association. Today, it is a popular area next to the green part of the city, Tivoli Park, ZOO and Roznik hill, a popular citizen’s destination.

House L, the prefabricated one-family home looks as a simple, clean geometric shape, with a rectangular floor plan, rectangular facades and flat roofs. However, a more detailed insight offers a lot more and shows the complete luxury of the designed spaces that ensure comfort and quality for a four-member family.
Open floor design of the ground floor is facing entirely towards the outer garden intended for summer family time and relaxation and there for becomes a part of the main living spaces. The ground floor offers an additional office and all the necessary technical areas as well as a garage space for two cars.
For this project, Kragelj’s task was to create an Imaginative workplace where great ideas turn into reality. The design team had to refresh and renew part of the offices in Crystal Palace, the tallest office building in Slovenia. The workspaces needed a fresh look, one that inspired collaborative work, agility, loyalty, and attracted talent from around the world. Also, it needed to be an extension of the company’s brand and values.
When Resalta changed its name from GGE, the company wanted to do more than redesign its brand. The management wanted to acknowledge its incredible growth and adopt a new brand identity to match it. For Resalta to attract top talent from the energy field, it needed workspaces that looked the part and its current offices weren’t up to the task.
One of Resalta’s main challenges to achieving strategic goals was the state of their workplace. They worked in a set of offices that was designed for several small businesses, not one company. There were two main sections, and getting from one to the other was time-consuming. There were separate entrances, and that created a natural rift in the company. Employees could not freely communicate, there were no large meeting rooms, no conference areas, and no common spaces for employees to gather and relax.
This project, realized as a fully functional apartment for a couple, is actually a sample project/showroom inside our studio.
It clearly shows the way in which we think and work and is a great non-verbal communication tool between our client, collaborators, and our studio.
The apartment is situated in the old city center of Koper, in a building that was designed by the renowned Slovenian modernist Edo Mihevc. The interior design was influenced by the legacy of the original design, but adapted to a contemporary lifestyle and modern-day needs.
