Out with the old and in with the new?





Forget the most obvious and by now quite frankly the most boring fact about this house that is generated in my head - the fact i adore it. Scrap it, bin it, burn it.

What is important with this is that the design isn't out of place. What Anton Žižek and Marjan Poboljšaj have done here is genius in terms of the setting. They have taken an old building which represents the somewhat distinctive style of the location and run with it. As for the left half of the building, (on the top photo) I think one could have adopted a more subtle approach, but then again that might be a reason why these guys are doing what they are and I am here, drooling over their creation. Drooling because it is brilliant.

It is divided and yet uniform, it's modern yet traditional, it's radical yet... well radical. Someone find the owner and shoot him, I want this house.
