SLOVENSKA FOUNTAINDesign competition-1st prize

1 2 3 The design for the competition for a "water sculpture" on the

main boulevard in the capital city of Slovenia, Ljubljana, was created

together with architects Mojca Kocbek and Primož Boršič.

The sculpture, resembling a water supply pipe ripped out of the

ground and twisted around, reminds the passers-by that the abundance

of clean drinking water is a basic element of every prosperous city. The

kinks of the fountain guide views and attract attention from all sides,

create space around the water stream and allow for seating. The jury

also appreciated how well the colour, size, positioning and material fit

the surrounding modern buildings as well as the overall style of the

main street.

URBAN VILLAArchitectural design

In 2013 I joined the London based StudioINTEGRATE for my first

traineeship. One of my first tasks there was to design a renovation of an

entrance house for an urban villa La Berlugane. The building will serve as

an occasional accomodation for artist or friends visiting the owner.

The main theme of the house is the combination of semi-enclosed

spaces divided by openable panels with patterns. These panels allow for

variable layouts and, when closed, create very powerfull and inspiring

studio space.

Probbably the most fun project I got to work on was the design of a

basement floor pool and spa area.

The whole scheme is based on an underground cave lake so the

water covers the whole floor and visitors have to use a cantilevered

bridge.

The design is done with T-splines and had to be redone many times

completely from the scratch due to it’s relative complexity.

I also kept working on the Entrance house, gradually geting into

more and more detail. Selecting materials and searching for

manufacturers capable of making more challenging pieces such as the

facade panels turned out to be also quite interesting, especially since we

managed to get lots of physical samples and mock ups.

LESNÁ DISTRICT CENTREurban study

The

principle of the proposed solution

involves gathering function groups into "network

nodes", placed where best available to the target users.

Processed site is thus divided into four main areas: the main

multifunction square (with offices, library, commercial and cultural

centre), social square (with health centre, homes for the elderly and

apartment buildings), sports square (with swimming pool, sports hall, or

climbing wall) and a dominant high-rise building.

Different transport means are separated to avoid conflict crossing. For this

reason only car roads with parking areas are located on the ground, while the main

footpaths are raised one level higher as a system of bridges, public transportation

routes are conducted underground and railroad is left in the trench in its original

place.

Given the significant slope of the ground a system of vertical terraces

was created, offering both larger area for attractive frontage and high

quality landscape views. Individual levels and interchange stations

are connected by a system of tunnels, ramps, stairs or

elevators, so that movement between them runs

smoothly and barrier-free.

BUNGALOW ŽINKOVYInterior design

This proposal, created in

cooperation with the Tomas

Dvorak Architects Ltd.

studio, covers the interior of

a typical bungalow for short-

term accommodation in the

v ic in i ty o f the cast le

Žínkovy.

Bungalows are located

b e n e a t h t h e c a s t l e ,

surrounded by wildlife. This

proposal links to that with

both colour and materials;

mostly natural substances

are used, like wood and

glass. All the sculptures and

decorations also make use

of the forest and nature

motifs, shapes of objects in

the design are rounded and

soft. All this, together with

wide utilization of curtains,

creates specific dreamy

atmosphere. Everything

adds up to an un ique

microcosm where each

moment spent is a separate

experience.

„LIVING” ROOMtreehouse

Living Room is a proposal for a new "bungalow" for Harads

Treehotel. Unlike most of the rooms, this one focuses more

on the feelings inside the building, rather than outside

views.

The designed room is created to look alien and unsettling,

to explore and experience unusual during the one night stay.

It contains two "bedrooms" with overhead windows, which

are the main focal points of the design. The rooms are much

taller than usual and lack any beds or furniture, to make the

visitor feel like an intruder in a strange living room, which

might not be a room after all.

GRASSHOPPERShow off

Probably the most useful of all my scripts so far, this one takes one small object and orients it in every corner of all selected polygonal faces.The use is obvious I believe I made it when I needed to model custom anchors on Acrylic glass boards.The only downside was that I never actually came to use it, as my computer was unable to compute such detailed model. But the script itself works nicely.

One of my early scripts, it takes a 2D curve and creates stairs with such shape. All parameters like step height, number or length are parametric.I created it when I was designing an exterior atrium and wasn’t quite sure about the final shape.

This script was written to create a parametric paper strip model of a loft surface.I used the model to test the space impression of such surface when used as a tunnel.Everything went great till the point where I had to put the strips together. They really didn’t like the idea of touching each other and forced me to use some super glue to convince them, which inevitably led to much dirtier model than I was hoping for.With addition of some misplaced strips, the final result really is not that great, but at least I learned some things and can hope for better result in the future.

You may try making this model for yourself at home as well. First, carefully cut out all the pieces one by one. Then cut every stripe where the cross lines indicate, but only to half their length so they remain whole!Now comes the most difficult part. Carefully interlock numerated and lettered stripes together and create the final form.A drop of glue onto every intersection greatly eases the job, as the stripes tend to fall apart.And there you go! You have your own stripe model of my interior design space study!
