TOMIŠELJ TALL HOUSES

Architecture

Design: Andrej Kregar, Jože Kouter, Damir Černec

In the village of Tomišelj, at the foot of Krim and only minutes away from unspoiled nature, a series of modern tall houses is planned. The entire area of Ig has very narrow plots, largely due to the region’s agricultural past. Because of this, designing buildings for contemporary living is a significant challenge. As a result, the new houses follow a tall and narrow form, which gives them an elegant and light appearance.

Large windows bring generous natural light into the interior, while the floor plan remains rational and well organized. Although the houses stand on relatively narrow plots, they still offer enough room for a spacious seating area, a modern kitchen with an island, a dining table, a bathroom, a toilet, a children’s room and a study. Therefore, they provide all the comforts expected in a modern home.

Because of the unconventional layout, the interior feels dynamic and fluid. It includes all the classic rooms you would expect in a single-family house, yet the design connects them more distinctly into a cohesive whole. In addition, the eastern and western façades step slightly inward, creating an innovative terrace. This space is covered and protected, yet it still maintains a strong connection to the surrounding nature. Even in the rain, you can enjoy fresh air in the shelter of your home.

Furthermore, the height of the houses gives them a strong and confident presence in the landscape. They define the space clearly, while their thoughtful positioning ensures they do not cast shadows on one another or on neighbouring buildings. This careful placement improves comfort for residents and supports a harmonious relationship with the wider environment.
