Unforgettable opportunity to live by the Ljubljanica River

The nearby Levstikov trg offers numerous cafes and restaurants popular among 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 daily services like a pharmacy and library.

Parking for apartment owners is available with a permit in the immediate vicinity of Levstikov trg, Zvezdarska ulica, and Rožna steza, with additional parking spaces available in the Šumi, Kongresni trg, Kapitelj garage houses, as well as the planned garage house 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 cultural heritage due to its historical, architectural, and urban value. Or head to Ljubljana Castle, which offers diverse walking and running trails of varying difficulty. The home, nestled between the river and greenery, allows for a rich leisure time throughout all seasons with a changing backdrop of greenery. Nearby are key city landmarks and social hubs such as Špica, Trnovo, and 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 rich 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 of the atrium house is a shared space. The paving material for the atrium will be selected in accordance with the historical context of the house and Ljubljana’s old town core. The entrance lobby will be paved with rough brushed concrete, and the courtyard with concrete pavers. Most interventions will take place within existing apartments. The main entrance door and staircase will be renovated. A modular metal planter with evergreen plants will be placed 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 part. 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 the work proceeds without the need for a building permit.

New elevator, discreetly integrated inside the building, connects 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-mounted underfloor heating will be installed. New wooden entrance doors with preserved structure and profiling, built-in access control system, camera, and anti-burglary features are planned.

The exterior side will have 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 mosquito nets are planned on the main street facades, while classic single wooden windows will be used 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 layout preserves the idea of Baroque bourgeois apartments and is based on a 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 walk-through wardrobes that allow hidden passage between rooms and serve as functional units with built-in installations. Rooms without natural lighting are illuminated by skylights above the wardrobes.

Frescoes and historical heritage

The house conceals 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 renovation, these frescoes can be highlighted or reconstructed, giving each buyer the opportunity to design a home according to their wishes while preserving rich history.
