It took OFIS Architects ten years to bring Portico House to life. Located in one of the city’s upscale districts, this Ljubljana house has been in the works since the start of the last decade. The plot is in the city’s Rozna Dolina district, a name that translates poetically as ‘Flower Valley’. Following an earthquake measuring 6.
The architects note that the area is now considered to be Ljubljana’s equivalent of Beverly Hills, with large single-family houses grouped into plots on a grid system. ‘Unfortunately, many owners converted the plots into over-scaled multiple dwellings of undefined architectural language,’ they add. This approach comes from the area’s pre-war villas, which typically were raised up to protect them from flooding. A shallow ramp leads down to a large parking garage, while the entrance staircase creates the portico that gives the house its name.
