Češča Vas Pool Complex / ENOTA

Andreas Luco — Wed, 20 Dec 2023 03:00:00 +0000

New pool complex Češča vas is located in a space dominated by the existing, recently renovated velodrome. It is our preference not to drastically alter the spatial relationships with the erection of the new swimming pool facility as it would introduce disorder that the space could do without, and further saturate it. The new pool facility thus takes advantage of the topographic properties of the inclined terrain. It is sited as low as possible and does not constitute a new dominant in the space.

Hotel Maestoso / ENOTA

Valeria Silva — Sat, 21 May 2022 15:00:00 +0000

The Stud Farm Lipica is one of the most remarkable natural and cultural monuments in Slovenia. The area of cultivated karst landscape comprises laid-out pastures and meadow areas featuring protective fences, oak groves, and tree lanes. The historic built core of Lipica gained the appearance of a congruous whole in the early decades of the 17th century. Through the ages, it had continued to develop until large tourist accommodation buildings were built in the 1970s, as the exceptionality of Stud Farm Lipica piqued the interest of visitors from across the world.

Koper Central Park / Enota

Paula Pintos — Thu, 21 Feb 2019 07:00:00 +0000

In line with the prognosis that the sea by the promenade is to grow increasingly cleaner, it is feasible that a new city beach may appear along the promenade. Successful similar examples show that a city beach is not only an area where people take a dip in the sea but that city beaches can become the most important free-time socialising space. Since the densely developed old town core does not allow for a sufficient number of large open spaces and constrains their size, and since we need to understand that convivial bustle, concerts, and late-night events disturb the residents in the immediate vicinity, the placement of such programme in the area under consideration is all the more suitable.

Termalija Family Wellness / Enota

María Francisca González — Wed, 24 Oct 2018 09:50:00 +0000

Termalija Family Wellness is the latest in the series of projects which we have built at Terme Olimia in the last fifteen years and concludes the complete transformation of the complex from a classic health centre built in the 1980s to a modern relaxing thermal spa. The transformation has been characterised by its gradual nature - each step was carried out in response to the then-current needs and did not follow any preconceived development plan. In fact, every new building was believed both by the investor and by ourselves to be the last.

Skorba Village Center / Enota

Pilar Caballero — Fri, 13 Apr 2018 05:00:00 +0000

Skorba is a small village in the vicinity of Ptuj, Slovenia's oldest town. Once a typical village with a clustered settlement pattern, the passage of years and the proximity of the city caused it to grow out of turn, transforming it into a commuter suburb without a clear structure. The organic growth resulted in a markedly heterogeneous development organised along the access roads, with no public surface layout and without a clearly legible village centre.

Wellness Plesnik / Enota

Cristobal Rojas — Fri, 19 Jan 2018 05:00:00 +0000

Hotel Plesnik is a boutique family hotel found in the heart of a nature park, boasting a tradition spanning over eighty years. Its exceptional location at the end of a glacial valley offers an unforgettable view of the majestic peaks of the Kamnik-Savinja Alps. As Logarska Valley is claimed by many to be one of the most beautiful valleys in Europe, the amazing view of this natural wonder was the obvious choice for one of the leading motifs in the renovation of the hotel's wellness centre.

Promenada / Enota

Daniel Sánchez — Sun, 31 May 2015 21:00:26 +0000

The Velenje "Promenada" is an important city space and a vital city thoroughfare. It is one of the central axes of the centre of Velenje, a young town designed in the 1950s, based on the Modernist ideal of the garden city; as such, it is unique in the Slovene space. The renovation of the Promenada represents the first step towards the gradual revitalisation of the city centre. It's tasks are to supply the city with the missing programmes and to help it reclaim its original character of a town-in-a-park. A successful renovation, informed by the awareness of the excessive surfaces designated for traffic, must bring together two requirements seemingly at odds with each other: "More greenery and more programme."

Velenje Car Park / ENOTA

Cristian Aguilar — Mon, 06 Apr 2015 04:00:36 +0000

Velenje was designed as a garden city and as such, it had a lot of unoccupied ground-level surfaces. With the increase in the number of vehicles, these surfaces began to turn into car parks. Despite the fact that Velenje's centre is a pedestrian zone, a large - possibly too large - portion of the exterior ground surface is designated for stationary traffic, which crucially affects the quality of open-air habitation. With the envisioned increase in the number of users of the city centre, the parking required stands to become an even bigger problem. For a successful revitalisation, solutions need to be found which will increase the number of available parking spaces while reducing the surface area occupied by them at present.

Ptuj Performance Center / Enota

Daniel Sánchez — Thu, 26 Sep 2013 00:00:00 +0000

The Dominican monastery in Ptuj boasts more than 800 years of history, which is, in various degrees of apparentness, expressed in its building structure. The Dominicans came to Ptuj in the early 13th century, when they were given a plot within the city walls, at the very edge of the west corner. Alongside the existing Romanesque buildings, they began the construction of the monastery and the church, whose transformation of its Romanesque configuration to the current Baroque form had several interim Gothic phases. The rest of the monastery complex shares a similar fate also; however, much more of the Mediaeval, Gothic structure is preserved there.

Novo Mesto Central Market Competition Entry / Enota

Alison Furuto — Thu, 25 Apr 2013 01:00:00 +0000

Situated in the very center of the historical town core, the Novo mesto central market feels somewhat removed today, being separated by its level and oriented towards the low-quality city space of Florjanov Square. Therefore, one of the basic guidelines for locating the new central market into the space must be to create the best possible entrance from the main square. Designed by Enota, the backbone of the new central market is formed by the covered Market Street, which lies on the level of main city square and connects the two spots closest to it on both access streets.

Stamboldžioski Dental Studio / Enota

Nico Saieh — Thu, 19 Jul 2012 00:00:00 +0000

Stamboldžioski Dental Studio is located at the outskirts of the city, in a residential community featuring mostly single-family homes. It has been built as a replacement for the cramped surgery in the dentist's private house, which was set up on the ground floor. It is therefore an annex, whose floor area - as it so often happens in such cases - exceeds that of the house it has been annexed to. Furthermore, its programme significantly differs from the predominant function of the vicinity.

Podčetrtek Sports Hall / Enota

Andrew Rosenberg — Wed, 23 Feb 2011 00:00:00 +0000

The municipal sports hall is located at the main road to Podčetrtek near Terme Olimia spa resort. It is located directly by the road, behind the existing roadside dyke. The main entrance itself is facing the road and is accessible via a connecting path between two driveways at the extreme points of the dyke.

Jurčkova Housing / Enota

Nico Saieh — Fri, 16 Jul 2010 00:00:00 +0000

A residential building with 47 dwelling units lies next to Jurčkova Street. The building is divided in two lamellas parallel with the street. Due to mostly individual infill in direct vicinity of new building, lamellas are further divided into smaller blocks, which differentiate by colour and measure. Coloured, concrete balconies are arranged commonly on both lamellas connecting smaller blocks back to a whole. Despite the large number of balconies privacy is ensured with closed side of balconies.

Termalija / Enota

Nico Saieh — Thu, 08 Jul 2010 00:00:00 +0000

Termalija spa extension is conceived as a sequence of contextually different spaces, which addresses visitors with experiences known from nature. In design the goal was to stimulate as much one’s senses as possible. Rooms are in vivid colours with walls decorated in stylized graphic impressions from nature (eyesight). All rooms are equipped with different atmospheric sounds (hearing) and distinctive aromas (smell) in order to stimulate visitor’s senses even more.

Sotelia Hotel / Enota

Nico Saieh — Mon, 07 Jun 2010 00:00:00 +0000

Wellness Hotel Sotelia fills the gap between two existing hotels, both of them not hiding their different architectural origins. New hotel is not trying to summarize samples from nearby structures but rather clearly distances itself from the built environment and connects, instead, with its natural surroundings.

Orhidelia Wellness / Enota

Nico Saieh — Thu, 03 Jun 2010 00:00:00 +0000

Main goal while designing the building was to diminish as much as possible its presence in the surroundings. Since the demanded program of wellness center is very extensive and in parts it demands overcoming great spans and big heights of inner spaces, putting up classically conceived building on central green plot would fill up last remaining open area in thermal complex and largely degraded its spatial quality.
