Slovenian studio OFIS Arhitekti has completed Frame House, a family home in Ljubljana clad in red-brick tiles that play on the area's pitched-roof buildings.
Frame House is located in the city's suburbs and designed by OFIS Arhitekti with a footprint of 200 square metres so as not to intrude on the site's large rear garden.
A large canopy with pitched sides shelters an entrance patio
The home has a geometric form, fronted by a large canopy with pitched sides. This shelters a paved entrance patio intended as a place for the client's children to play.
OFIS Arhitekti placed a hole in the canopy to provide an existing tree with light and space to grow.
Perforated metal screens and large windows animate the exterior
"As the client loves gardening the idea was to place the house in a way that keeps the back garden as large as possible," OFIS Arhitekti co-founder Rok Oman told Dezeen. "Therefore the back of the house is flat and simple, while the entrance yard provides sufficient space for cars and is partly covered with a canopy also creates space for kids to play," he added.
The home is clad in red-brick tiles typically used on roofs
Frame House's cut-out on the front elevation contains the entrance and access to a single-storey storage area, both clad in blackened timber.
Inside, OFIS Arhitekti has created a ground-floor living, dining and kitchen space with views of the garden through large sliding glass doors that open onto a stone-paved terrace.
