Interactive capabilities allow for an array of activities. The building’s envelope is developed as a thick wall integrating multiple storage spaces, secondary kitchen, and small ‘inhabitable’ window niches that carefully curate incoming light and expanding views to the surroundings. Deliberate secondary wooden roof cladding provides the continuity of the dark wooden materiality of the facade cladding. Oiled larch boards completely define the materiality of the outside relating to the traditional finish of the vernacular barn. Positioned on the borderline of the village it clearly relates to the adjacent wooden barn with the dark wooden materiality, but with the new distinctive volumetric identity moves deliberately away from its vernacular neighbour and curiously associates with the nearby 16th century church creating a dialogue between the two. The ridge of the roof is pushed apart creating a continuous skylight running throughout the house’s linear volume and providing top light for all the crucial spaces. Stove’s centrally positioned chimney determines the concept of the house informing the centrally aligned layout of spaces within the specific cross-section of the house.
The kitchen, with a multifunctional wood stove, plays the vital role in the private and social life of a couple living in the countryside. On the other hand the Chimney house marks typological transformation generated by the users’ specificity. It respects the morphology of the traditional built context, referring to the prevailing gabled roof type of the house and respecting its volumetric and material parameters.
The design of the Chimney House in Logatec is primarily based on the rules of local architecture.
