Pod Pekrsko gorco residential neighbourhood, Maribor
To many of us, residential neighbourhoods are the setting of the most playful times in our youth. However, for a neighbourhood to become such a setting, it requires an appropriate combination of public, semi-public and personal areas. Furthermore, it has to make it possible for various generations and profiles of people to enjoy living there.
The feel of an integrated multi-layered town has been instilled into the neighbourhood as its central theme. The building volumes are of understated design, setting the frameworks for the varied green atria. Motorised traffic is limited to create the possibility of a quality green and safe environment surrounding the home. The interconnected atria are dedicated to various themes. During a walk through the neighbourhood, the buildings offer diverse views of the life unfolding between them and the surrounding natural sights. The overall effect is a picturesque one, owing to the intertwining of a discreet yet tactually and decoratively diverse façade and the ever-changing nature.
