The Compact Karst House byDekleva Gregoric Arhitektiis a 900 square foot home for a small family in rural Slovenia.
It was designed using local materials and traditional forms, but constructed with a clear contemporary vision.
It feels at home in its Mediterranean environment, but still manages to push the envelope.
The area of the compact Karst House has been logged for timber for structural projects in Venice.
As Venice continues its descent into the sea, Slovenian timber is helping to slow that process.
The removal of Slovenian oak has exposed plenty of limestone around this home.
Inside, this compact living space is made to feel larger by creative use of space.
The downstairs rooms are largely open, providing shared space for the family to enjoy together.
The Compact Karst House is small in stature but functional in usable space.
We hope to see more like this one from the people at Dekleva Gregoric Arhitekti.
