Anže Lanišek and his partner, Nastja, have chosen a house from the Vita Nova Classic architectural line for their new home. This style combines traditional elements with a modern approach, resulting in a timeless aesthetic and functionality. Below, we reveal their vision for their home, detailing its exterior design and interior layout.

Wooden structure for a bright, warm, and energy-efficient home
The house will feature a skeletal structure made from laminated spruce wood (BSH), ensuring exceptional stability, durability, and aesthetic excellence. Glass walls with outstanding thermal insulation (0.5 W/m²K) allow abundant natural light and a visual connection to the surroundings while maintaining energy efficiency.
With its open floor plan, spacious interiors, and carefully designed details, the house offers a perfect balance between functionality and aesthetics. Large glass surfaces connect the interior with the outdoor living space—a spacious terrace and greenery—creating a sense of freedom and harmony with nature.
Well-thought-out floor plan for maximum comfort
The house is designed to provide functional and comfortable living across two floors. An open floor plan, large glass surfaces, and thoughtful room placement create a pleasant and bright living environment. The total net area is approximately 150 m², with high ceilings (2.9 m) further enhancing the sense of spaciousness.
Open and bright living area
The ground floor spans 75 m² and includes a central living area where the living room, dining room, and kitchen merge into a unified, open space. Glass walls provide ample natural lighting and visually connect the interior with the terrace and garden, fostering a continuous connection with nature. The kitchen features a functional island, ideal for meal preparation and socializing.
The ground floor also includes an additional room suitable for a home office, relaxation, or guests. A technical room housing a heat pump and ventilation system, along with a utility room, are strategically placed to minimize intrusion into the open living space. A spacious entrance area also features a sanitary space.
Upper floor—a space for privacy, comfort, and relaxation
Upstairs, the main bedroom offers privacy and comfort, complete with a spacious wardrobe. Two additional children’s rooms are bright and adaptable to various age groups, ensuring long-term usability.
A large bathroom equipped with a double sink, bathtub, and shower occupies the central part of the upper floor. Additionally, there’s a lounge area suitable for relaxation, reading, or work.
The design of the upper floor maximizes space utilization while providing the comfort and functionality essential for pleasant living.
Architectural features of Vita Nova Classic
Vita Nova Classic draws from architectural tradition, enhancing it with modern design solutions. Its foundation is classic Slovenian architecture, complemented by contemporary aesthetic elements that ensure timeless appeal and sustainable living quality.
A distinctive feature of this line is the visible wooden structure, a recognizable element both inside and outside the house. The massive wood imparts warmth and a sense of homeliness to the space while maintaining structural stability and energy efficiency.
The design of the eaves with visible rafters plays a significant role in shaping the exterior appearance, emphasizing the traditional roof form and adding the character of classic alpine houses. A suspended semicircular gutter enhances this look, contributing to the harmonious overall image of the building.
Wood serves as a key element not only in the structure but also in the details. Handcrafted wood acts as natural decor in the interior, creating a pleasant and authentic ambiance. Every detail is thoughtfully designed—even the integrated guides for blinds are discreetly hidden under wooden covers, allowing for aesthetically pleasing shading without visible additions on the facade.
For perfect precision and flawless execution, the house’s facade is completed during production, ensuring high quality and long-lasting material durability. This approach allows for precise detailing while reducing on-site assembly time.
