in an invited competition, the structure is located just outside
the historic town centre of Ljutomer; the site borders on
the single-unit-housing zone. The scheme consists of two connected
volumes. The smaller, housing the town's Post Office, is a
uniform volume wrapped in copper sheath with pronounced vertical
seams. The larger volume is of triangular shape, organized
around an open atrium with connecting corridors. Glass clad
ground floor houses retail space and cafes, offices are located
in the overhanging volume of the upper floors. Its facade
combines fixed-glass bay windows and, positioned between them,
aluminium doors that open to provide natural ventilation.
