House MJ, Novo mesto, Slovenia

Debido a las vistas y la configuración de la parcela, la casa se abre hacia el noroeste. Los diferentes niveles se adaptan al terreno y, al mismo tiempo, separan la zona de estar de los dormitorios. La casa no tiene pasillos. La forma del techo permite que el sol de la mañana entre desde el sureste iluminando el cuarto de baño y la sala de estar. La construcción es de madera con marcos prefabricados en la fachada de madera de alerce. El garaje está separado de la casa y se sitúa en la calle, excavado en la ladera para no obstruir las vistas desde la casa. Las huellas del encofrado de madera en el concreto expuesto establecen un diálogo entre el garaje y la casa.

The house stands detached from the road, on the slope higher up, overlooking the town of Novo Mesto. Due to the views and the configuration of the plot, the house opens towards northwest. With the slight split of levels it adapts to the terrain and at the same time separates the living from the sleeping area.

The shape of the roof allows the morning sun from the southeast to light the entrance, bathroom and the living room. The construction is prefabricated timber frame with larch wood facade. The garage with the carport in detached from the house and stands at the street. It is dug into the slope so as not to obstruct the views from the house. Traces of wooden formwork on the exposed concrete establish a dialogue between the garage and the house.
