RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS ? BEŽIGRAJSKI DVOR - LJUBLJANA

The residential buildings of Bežigrajski dvor in Ljubljana come in multiple variations, which reflect the same design method as the office buildings, thereby contributing to the harmonious arrangement of the area. However, due to their different functions, these buildings require a ?softer? appearance that is achieved by a specific use of materials, colours and articulation of the buildings.

Three different widths of façade slabs from foam artificial stone (applied on façades for the first time here) are based on the mathematical complexity of construction measures that enable their mutual relationships and cooperation. This same subsystem involves the load-bearing structure, which stands out on the façades repeating and increasing their articulations. Thus, the façade articulation motif of a four-storey structure is completely replicated on a large six-storey building, while being enlarged in height and width. Accordingly, the form and function constitute different interpretations of the same structure and its consistent integrity.

In line with the location and the character of the urban area, the apartments correspond to the requirements of an advanced residential culture.
