Ontwerp TEEMA-torens
The project originates from the consideration of: the existing conflict between the necessity for urban densification and the preference of most people to live in the suburbs in a one-family house surrounded by their own garden on the one hand and; the attempt to create an innovative building type which preserves the superb view - not only for the happy few who can afford to live in these towers, but also for their neighbours and the passers-by - on the other hand.
XXS - eXtra eXtra Small House
eXtra-eXtra-Small House is located in Krakovo, the very centre of Ljubljana and at the same time in a historical village - once (in the Middle Ages) supplying the nearby monastery with fresh food - today highly protected historical area. The basic dimensions of the new house were already defined by law according to the volume of the pre-existing house.
The task was to integrate all residential functions in an extra small volume and to bring the sunlight to the living spaces in the ground floor through the roof openings with the in-direct sunlight, since the house faces north. The house is an urban holiday-home for a couple living in countryside.

North Sydney Bus Shelter and Canopy Entrance (Competition-1st Prize)
This proposal aims to serve the dual purpose of consolidating North Sydney’s major public transport interchange and providing North Sydney with a tangible and defining marker.
The scheme comprises a thin steel roof that links the three sites and provides a continuous covered way from the train station to the bus stops. At the top of Mount Street Palza the plane of the roof folds up into a series of moulded towers. Beneath these towers is the entry to the train station and a proposed flower market.
