Dr. Home by Scapelab

Scapelab has accomplished the design of the Dr. Home undertaking in Slovenia. This eye-catching up to date residence is situated on a hillside close to the Slovenian city of Slovenske Konjice and has entry to spectacular views of the luxurious inexperienced countryside round it. With 1,872 sq. toes of residing house, this design goals to maximise the publicity to its lovely environment.

The home for a neighborhood medical physician sits on a hillside close to the city of Slovenske Konjice, Slovenia. The area is legendary for its’ wine manufacturing, and the close by hillsides are coated in traces of vineyards. This sample of striated, tessellated topography is reinterpreted by way of the metallic envelope of the home. The home has a reasonably commonplace plan, with a joint residing and eating house and a house workplace on the bottom ground, and bed room and youngsters’s rooms on the primary ground. The envelope wraps itself round these functionally distributed areas.

The envelope seems to be a random sculpture, however is the truth is very rigorously formed; the overhangs and tessellations across the home windows work as selective shading parts, blocking the excessive summer time solar to stop overheating and permitting the low winter solar to enter the house. The envelope is fabricated from standing-seam metallic, with traces rotating to create seen, separate polygons and guarantee water runoff. Across the home windows and entrances on the bottom ground the fabric switches to wooden, which is current on the encircling terrace as effectively. The polygonal language of the home is mirrored within the parts of the encircling panorama –the benches and exterior tables.

The home is an experiment in form, which means and performance of the constructing envelope. The polygonal, patterned construction is related not with the encircling buildings, that are principally typical self-made homes from the socialist period, however with the summary nature of the encircling panorama. The 2 supplies, metallic and wooden, wrap the home –metallic from the highest down, and wooden from the underside up, assembly across the home windows and entrances. The envelope, whereas showing to be purely a design factor, can also be a rigorously designed shading system. However, this dynamic exterior doesn’t affect the extremely useful distribution of areas inside the home. The inside depends on a really calm work/dwelling setting for the physician and his sufferers, with wonderful views of the encircling valley.
