Private house in the south of Russia

A private house in the south of Russia designed by our studio for the architectural competition “Beautiful Wooden Houses 2019”. The house has a wooden frame in places of large unsupported spans, learned by steel beams. With this project we wanted to show that a wooden house can be not only a traditional style of chalet,
country and Russian style, but also in a modern minimalist style. The facade is made of black plank and wood panels of light wood.

Cathedral of Freedom / Hommage to Joze Plecnik

CATHEDRAL OF FREEDOM / Hommage to Joze Plecnik is an experimental short film dedicated to Slovene architect Joze Plecnik.

Cathedral of Freedom / Plecnik Parliament (Slovene: Plecnikov parlament) is the colloquial name of two designs for a building intended to house the legislature of the People’s Republic of Slovenia within the second Yugoslavia. Formally known as the Slovene Acropolis and the Cathedral of Freedom (Slovenska akropola / Katedrala svobode), the two designs were proposed in 1947 by Slovenia’s most eminent architect, Joze Plečnik, but were rejected in favour of a more conventional design.

A square, colonnaded false façade would have surrounded the cylindrical main building of two stories, surmounted by a tall, spirally tapering conical cupola. Supported internally by inclined columns, the cupola would have spanned the parliament chamber. The facade would have measured 50 m in length, the tower rising to 120 m. Several slightly varying designs were produced, some including a second colonnade wrapping the second floor of the main building, different porticoes, or an asymmetrical ground floor.
