Stanovanje 5a

Unforgettable opportunity to live by the Ljubljanica River

Excellent location – the property is situated by the Ljubljanica River, providing easy access to picturesque riverside walking paths. Cultural, historical, and commercial points are located nearby. The nearby Levstikov trg offers numerous cafes and restaurants popular with locals and tourists alike, while just a stone’s throw away is Cankarjevo nabrežje with livelier bars and shops. The location is very suitable for families, as there are many primary schools, kindergartens, and high schools in the vicinity. Quick access is also available to stores such as Maximarket, Mercator, and Lidl, as well as other everyday services like pharmacies and libraries.

Parking for apartment owners is available by permit near Levstikov trg, Zvezdarska Street, and Rožna steza, with additional parking spaces in the Šumi, Kongresni trg, Kapitelj garages, and the planned garage under the Ljubljana markets.

Building nestled between the river and the castle

The location of your new home offers open views of the Ljubljanica River on one side and Ljubljana Castle on the other. Take a walk along the newly renovated Gallusovo nabrežje, an important part of the cultural heritage due to its historical, architectural, and urban value. Or head to Ljubljana Castle, which offers a variety of walking and running trails of different difficulty levels. The home, nestled between the river and greenery, allows for diverse leisure activities throughout all seasons and a changing backdrop of greenery. Nearby are key city landmarks and social hubs such as Špica, Trnovo, and the Ljubljana market. The location offers an ideal starting point for visiting numerous cultural and historical sites, including the Škuc Gallery, the Slovenian National Theatre with a varied opera and ballet program, and the Slovenian Philharmonic.

Common areas

The lobby will provide bicycle parking, and a new concrete bench will allow seating while waiting for visitors or deliveries. The bench’s seating surface will be heated, enabling use in all seasons. The ground floor atrium of the building is a shared space. The paving material for the atrium will be chosen in accordance with the historical context of the building and Ljubljana’s old town core. The entrance lobby will be paved with rough polished concrete, while the courtyard will be paved with concrete pavers. Most interventions will take place within the existing apartments. The main entrance doors and staircase will be renovated. A modular metal trough with evergreen plants will be installed in the courtyard, creating a “green” curtain that separates common communication paths from private balconies.

Existing condition of the building

The building intertwines historical heritage with the vibrant city pulse. Above the ground floor is the residential section. Residents access their apartments via a shared, partially open staircase connecting all floors. Massive brick and stone walls preserve the building’s historical character, with vaulted spaces on the ground floor and wooden structures on the upper floors. This unique location combines rich architectural heritage with a modern lifestyle and offers quality living by the Ljubljanica River, in the very heart of the old town core.

New interventions

The building will undergo thorough maintenance work aimed at preserving its historical character and improving functionality. The typological design of the building, including the building and roof dimensions, remains unchanged, so work proceeds without the need for a building permit.

New elevator, discreetly integrated inside the building, will connect all four floors while preserving the visual and spatial identity of the courtyard. The existing non-load-bearing floor structure will be removed, and a reinforced screed with dry-installation underfloor heating will be installed. New wooden entrance doors with preserved structure and profiling, integrated access control system, camera, and anti-burglary features are planned.

The exterior will feature a metal knob, and the interior handle will be made of naturally treated metal. The building will be equipped with gas condensing boilers and underfloor heating. Apartments will have smart installations for controlling heating, lighting, and security via mobile devices or smart switches.

New wooden double windows with intermediate blinds and built-in insect screens are planned on the main street facades, while classic wooden single windows will be installed inside the atrium and on other facades. Additional bicycle parking spaces and ambient planting will be added in the shared courtyard.

Renovation concept and interior design

The floor plan preserves the idea of Baroque bourgeois apartments and is based on the sequential arrangement of rooms around the main installation core, allowing optimal use of space without unnecessary corridors. The design preserves existing load-bearing walls, on which preserved Baroque and Art Nouveau frescoes can be displayed. New partition walls are designed as built-in transitional wardrobes, allowing hidden passage between rooms and serving as functional units with integrated installations. Rooms without natural lighting are illuminated by skylights above the wardrobes.

Frescoes and historical heritage

The house hides exceptional historical layers with preserved decorative paintings on walls and ceilings. In August 2024, a conservation-restoration survey was conducted, revealing Baroque and Art Nouveau frescoes with diverse elements. During the renovation, these frescoes can be highlighted or reconstructed, giving each buyer the opportunity to shape their home according to their wishes while preserving rich history.
