LOCATION: Komenskega 9, Ljubljana

Renewal of the classicist villa Art center – Pionirski dom, designed by the engineer Anton Klinar in 1894 for the city councilor Ivan Velkavrh, was designed in cooperation with the conservator Sabina Ravnikar. The emphasis is on the historical structure of the building. All major interventions, such as the hall, elevator, balcony, mansard, and furnishings were designed in a minimalist fashion, in order not to transform, but rather support the basic character of the building. The painting by Mitja Ficko opens the stage and introduces the visitor to the creative activities inside.
