House NB
Discover the captivating allure of House NB, a sublime creation located on the picturesque edge of a valley in Podgorje pri Slovenj Gradcu, Slovenia. At its heart lies the remarkable JC Bordelet Lea suspended wood fireplace from Sculpt Fireplace Collection, poised majestically in the center of an expansive open-plan living, kitchen, and dining area. With soaring ceilings and abundant windows, this sanctuary embraces natural light, infusing the space with an ethereal glow.
This architectural marvel effortlessly blurs the line between terrain and structure, crafting a harmonious blend of shelter and landscape. The home's protective exterior envelops a serene interior that seamlessly extends to outdoor terraces, inviting year-round enjoyment. The focal point of the interior is a double-height, multipurpose zone adjacent to the fireplace. This dynamic space gradually transitions into private areas, offering various ambiences—a raised plateau for dining, a library haven, a floating stone island kitchen, and a gallery-style recreational space. These distinct atmospheres cater to diverse needs, celebrating the interplay of natural light.
Designed with meticulous attention to human scale, House NB invites tactile exploration and a profound connection to the environment. From a spa-inspired bathroom that pays homage to Henri Rousseau's dreamlike jungle scenes to the disciplined integration of elements, every detail resonates with purpose and creativity. This interior isn't just a living space; it's a profound dialogue with the essence of habitation and its interrelation with nature. Beyond functionality, it exudes poetry, freshness, and playfulness—a true testament to design innovation and the transformative presence of the JC Bordelet Lea fireplace.
