DESCRIPTION

The house with an additional service building is located in a secluded part of the Idrija-Cerkno hills in the village of Vojsko. We placed a fitness and relaxation program in the attic of the additional service building.

In the home wellness area, there are fitness machines, a bathroom, and a Finnish sauna. We divided the elongated space into two parts: the exercise area on the east side and the SPA on the west side. By expanding the entrance doors into a glass wall, we connected the interior with the surrounding pristine nature. We placed a window in the sauna, which provides additional natural light, allows for natural ventilation, and offers a view that extends through the entire building.

We designed the existing supporting structure of the attic as a robust element and clad it in anthracite paneling. The sauna wall is entirely mirrored, which optically extends the space and further illuminates it with light reflections. The exercise area is surrounded from floor to ceiling with wooden paneling, which, together with the fireplace, creates a pleasant ambiance.

During the winter months, when heavy snowfall and unpredictable weather are common in this area, the spa provides additional living quality to the owners.
