Lace Apartments by OFIS Arhitekti are oddly delicate, yet command attention in their home of Nova Gorcia, Slovenia. After four years of planning, design and construction, this five-floor, 69,965-sq.-ft. multi-unit residential building finally came to completion earlier this year. The most unique feature of this ultra modern structure is most certainly its shape, featuring protruding elements that are not only architecturally appealing, but also serve to withstand the region’s sweltering summers and windy winters. “The formal concept reinstates three-dimensional lace, which embraces the volume of the building,” according to OFIS Arhitekti. “Furthermore, the lace is transformed into functional elements – projecting roofs, pergolas, apartment dividing walls, terraces and balconies with loggias. These elements protect external spaces and interior of apartments and provide additional privacy to inhabitants.” OFIS Arhitekti.
