Designed in 2021 by Slovenian architects Jana Hladnik Tratnik and Tina Lipovž of Studio Pikaplus and recognised with the BIG SEE Tourism Design Award in 2023, Konjiček is a 115-square-metre bungalow with a distinctive green flat roof and deep cantilevered overhangs sheltering an all-round terrace, with the living, dining, and cooking area glazed on two sides, three bedrooms facing the forest at the rear, and a restrained material palette of microcement, concrete, and laminated wood, cooled in summer by the green roof and deep eaves without need for air conditioning.
Overview
The Location
Set on a sunny hillside above the village of Lokavec, on the edge of a forest and the nature reserve of Mount Čaven, Konjiček celebrates the panoramic view across the entire upper Vipava Valley, in a region of vineyards, orchards, and stone villages along the western Slovenian border with Italy, with two Michelin-starred restaurants in the valley, hiking and climbing terrain on the surrounding mountains, and the Slovenian coast and Trieste within an hour.
