located within central ljubljana, slovenian firm OFIS architects has completed a residential property clad with a perforated metal envelope. the perforated panels form an abstract reinterpretation of the façades of classical villas found in the historical suburb, while simultaneously allowing light to permeate the building. the dwelling comprises a series of cuboid volumes, where negative space forms external areas and private patios.

the scheme’s interior combines exposed structural concrete walls with an inserted wooden shell. providing living accommodation for a family of five, the program is divided not by walls, but by floor levels. primary and shared living space is found at ground floor, while space for the client’s three children is positioned above. the uppermost storey, which contains the master bedroom, opens out onto a terrace which floods the level with natural light.
