Rock Villas by Arhitektura Krusec
This is Rock Villas, designed by Arhitectura Krusec. It is located in Celje, on a rocky slope that is dominated by a catholic monastery and was settled by civic villas in the first half of the past century. The basic purpose behind designing two condensed construction masses was to preserve the dominant building typology which has through decades shaped the character of the quarter known as Rock Basement.
On the North side, the villas are build only two storeys high to preserve views from existing single family homes behind the plot. But, on the south side, they cascade in terraces along the slope, until 3-4 storeys high. Each of the two volumes are organized into multiple separate residential units with decidedly individual characters due to varying border conditions.
Each layout responds to the varying condition. Apartments situated in one of the three ground floors are designed to be inseparably linked to a green garden while apartments in the upper storeys are organized around large sun terraces. The only apartment without an option for a terrace has an exterior space situated on the roof of the building. Parking for residents and guests is organized in the basement floor linking both buildings. Celje views are the one of the interesting things that can be seen from the apartments.
