If you’ve ever renovated, built or arranged your home, you’re probably familiar with the MojMojster portal. The website is a rich source of verified advice, tips and expert content in the field of construction and architecture. The articles are clear, precise and written in an accessible way – which is exactly why we enjoy following them, too.
This time, we were especially delighted to see one of our favorite projects mentioned in one of their articles: “House for the Best Years”. Architect Matej Gašperič created something truly unique with his approach. We were impressed from the very beginning by his innovative conceptual design, and we carried out the project with great joy, dedication and attention to detail.
A Story Told Through Architecture
This is a wooden house that is not merely a building – it’s a space with soul. The name “House for the Best Years” was not chosen at random. It symbolizes different life stages that one might remember with nostalgia – or happily live through right now. Whether that’s your thirties, sixties or any other chapter in life, what matters most is that every visitor or resident feels at home, safe and connected to the space.
At its core, the house tells the story of traditional Gorenjska architecture. Architect Gašperič drew inspiration from old village centers and the characteristics of rural homes that shaped the region. The final result is a modern interpretation of traditional architecture – infused with sensitivity, imagination and respect for the space.
Visually, the house is minimalist, yet rich in symbolism. A wooden fence along the edge of the plot, vertical wooden slats on the facade reminiscent of a hayrack and the use of contemporary materials all come together to create an appearance where rural heritage and modern living intertwine. The slats are not just an aesthetic element – they also act as sunshades, blocking direct sunlight during the day while allowing soft morning and evening light to enter the interior. This is especially important for living comfort due to the extensive glazing.
When the Terrain Shapes the Architecture
Another special feature of the project is how it responds to the terrain. The plot has a slight slope, which would typically require an additional floor. However, to preserve the single-storey structure and the rural character, we chose to follow the natural conditions.
As a result, the house on one side almost appears to “hover” – a feature that makes it even more original and harmonized with its environment. The article on MojMojster describes this challenge perfectly and explains the architect’s decision for a non-typical but highly effective solution.
