Planica. The final act of the season. Packed stands, a roaring home crowd, and the perfect moment for the biggest win of his career.
With an extraordinary flight of 247.5 meters, Anže Lanišek set a new personal best and claimed his first career victory on the Planica flying hill. A moment he had long wished for – and finally made the most of, right at home.
Winning at home – and in the air
It’s been a season we’ll remember for a long time. Podium finishes, near-misses, and now – a perfect ending with a victory in Planica.
Anže once again proved that patience, persistence, and hard work always pay off. His consistency in the second half of the season and calm focus were the marks of an experienced athlete who trusted his chance would come. And it did – in the best possible moment.
“This is the sweetest win”
“Without a doubt, this is the sweetest win. I’ve waited a long time for this. I came close a few times. So happy. It’s true what they say – fourth time’s the charm,” said Anže after his win.
The final day of the season brought everything together – the work built through the winter, focus in the quieter months, and the energy saved for the moment it would all come together. That’s exactly what happened in Planica.
A season behind, a new journey ahead
An extraordinary season comes to a perfect close – and a new chapter is already beginning for Anže.
We’re proud to have signed our first sponsorship agreement with him and even more excited to now walk alongside him in the early stages of designing his new home.
Together, we’re searching for the right balance of aesthetics, warmth, and quality – so that his home will reflect everything he brings to the ski jumps: determination, focus, and calm strength.
Anže, congratulations! We’re excited to support you in your next big jump.
When we imagine building a new home, we often focus on the needs we have right now. But what happens in ten or twenty years? Families grow, work moves into the home, children move out, and rooms gain new purposes. That’s why flexibility in architecture isn’t just a luxury – it’s a necessity.
At KAGER, we’ve been building timber frame houses for over 35 years. Our construction method allows for open and customizable spaces that can be adapted easily over time. With the combination of our Vita Nova systems and precise craftsmanship, we create homes that reflect your lifestyle today – and tomorrow.
Timber frame construction: The structure behind every KAGER home
Timber frame construction is more than just a method – it’s a mindset. At KAGER, it forms the basis of every home we build. Instead of relying on load-bearing walls, the structure is supported by a visible timber frame. This allows you to freely adjust the interior layout without major structural changes.
Because the walls aren’t load-bearing, they can be moved, added or removed at any stage – whether during planning or years later. This design also allows for large glass surfaces and seamless transitions between indoor and outdoor spaces. In other words, the structure brings together aesthetics, flexibility and energy efficiency in one solution.
Vita Nova systems: different styles, same flexibility
All KAGER homes are built on the same structural foundation, but the final appearance depends on the façade system you choose. Vita Nova offers three design systems – all based on the same timber frame, but with unique architectural expressions.
Vita Nova with integrated blinds: Ideal for those who appreciate the warmth of wood and classic details. The structure remains visible, and blinds are hidden behind wooden covers to preserve a clean, timeless façade.
Vita Nova with aluminium cladding: Designed for lovers of modern, minimalist architecture. The aluminium elements offer added durability and a sleek finish, while integrated blinds enhance energy efficiency.
Vita Nova with wooden cladding: The perfect choice for those who value natural aesthetics. The frame is covered with wood, creating a warm, earthy impression. External blinds can be chosen freely depending on your preferences.
Each system is factory-assembled to ensure high precision and fast on-site installation. Inside, the frame is painted in your selected colour from the KAGER palette, adding a personal touch to every detail.
One structure, endless possibilities
With the Vita Nova system, almost every element of your home can be customized:
Visible or hidden frame: Show off the structure or mask it with wood or aluminium.
Façade materials: Combine glass walls, wood panels, or both.
Colours: Select your desired finish for the timber structure, windows, and doors.
Interior layout: Design open-plan spaces or create enclosed rooms as your life evolves.
Construction system and insulation: Choose between various construction types and insulation materials to achieve your energy goals.
Why adapt your lifestyle to your home – when your home can adapt to you? With KAGER’s timber frame construction and Vita Nova systems, your home becomes a living space that grows with you. Whether you’re planning for today or thinking ahead to future changes, this is architecture that supports you through every life stage.
A truly solid home doesn’t depend on the time of year. Instead, it depends on how it’s made and what it’s made of. Our houses are constructed from laminated spruce (BSH), a material known for its strength and dimensional stability. That means whether it’s summer or winter, your home will be just as structurally sound. So when is winter actually the better option?
Believe it or not, winter often brings conditions that make construction more efficient – especially when working with wood. The air is drier, the site cleaner, and assembly faster. A house built in winter can be move-in ready by spring.
4 advantages of building in winter
A cleaner, less muddy site: Dry and frozen ground means less mud, which is especially important when working with exposed wooden elements. The cleaner the site, the better the final finish.
Lower humidity, no heavy rainfall: Less rain and lower humidity levels mean the wood stays dry. That helps prevent future warping or cracking – essential for long-term durability.
Better structural stability: Wooden elements settle more evenly and consistently in lower temperatures. This reduces movement later and increases the long-term structural performance of the house.
Move in by summer: Build in winter, and your home is ready for interior work and landscaping as soon as the warmer months arrive. No waiting around – just smooth progress.
Why we build all year at KAGER
High-performance materials: We use laminated spruce BSH in every load-bearing structure. This wood doesn’t warp, crack, or absorb moisture easily, which guarantees strength and stability regardless of outside conditions.
Precision manufacturing in a controlled environment: All elements are pre-fabricated in our production facility. This allows us to machine, treat and protect every piece of wood in perfect conditions – away from wind, rain or temperature swings.
Fast on-site assembly: Thanks to pre-made components, building on-site usually takes just a few days. This reduces weather-related risks and allows precise scheduling year-round.
Dry construction process: Unlike traditional methods that involve wet processes like concrete, our wooden homes are built dry – which means there’s almost no impact from cold or damp weather. Quality stays high and timelines stay on track.
With the right system, winter isn’t a limitation – it’s an opportunity. Thanks to our technology, expert team and fine-tuned process, we’re able to build homes of the highest quality throughout the year. So if you’re thinking of building a home, don’t wait for the “right” season. With KAGER, any time is the right time.
Choosing to build a home is one of life’s most important decisions. That’s why it matters that future homeowners not only trust our work but also get to see the process up close. At KAGER, we welcome anyone interested in understanding the quality and precision behind each element and every stage of the production.
This is exactly what ski jumper Anže Lanišek wanted to experience – to see how wooden-glass homes are built from the inside out. Together with Nastja, he visited our production facility in Ptuj, where he got a firsthand look at the work, people, and dedication that go into every KAGER home.
.
Boutique production for a unique final result
At KAGER, we don’t build standardized homes. Each house is custom-designed to suit a specific plot and the lifestyle of its owners. This means the production process isn’t serial – it’s individual. Every home is created with care and precision, from the first sketch to the final detail.
What impressed Anže the most was this uniqueness. He followed the process step by step – from preparing wall panels and wooden structural elements to hand-finishing wood surfaces and fitting large glass panels.
How wall elements are made
Our skeletal structure ensures not only excellent structural stability but also complete architectural freedom. Since the load-bearing function is carried by columns and beams, exterior walls can be fully adapted – allowing for expansive glazing and seamless transitions between indoor and outdoor spaces.
Glass walls that open the home to nature
We believe that you shouldn’t have to choose between a home that feels open and one that’s energy efficient. Thanks to our Vita Nova technology, we offer both – large glass surfaces that connect your living space with nature, while maintaining excellent insulation and indoor comfort all year round.
When Anže saw how the glass walls were installed, he immediately understood what makes KAGER homes so special: “Seeing the precision behind each element really helped me understand why wooden-glass houses are different.”
Hand-finished wood for a warm and lasting impression
Another special touch in every KAGER home is the hand-finished wooden structure. This isn’t industrial production. Our craftsmen treat each component individually, ensuring that every detail is perfect. It’s this attention to detail that gives KAGER homes their distinctive warmth and timeless look.
Anže and Nastja saw how hand finishing enhances the natural beauty of the wood and how precision in installation ensures not just aesthetics but long-term durability.
Every detail reflects the people behind the work
This visit offered Anže more than just insight into how homes are built – it introduced him to the people behind them. With their skills and commitment, our team ensures that every KAGER home isn’t just well built, but also visually striking.
“Now I can truly picture what my future home will look like,” Anže said at the end of the tour – confident that his choice of a Vita Nova Classic home was the right one.
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.
The construction of Doppler Winery presented several technical challenges that required innovative solutions and exceptional adaptability. The unique architectural design and demanding location made many phases of the project particularly complex.
Wood or concrete?
During the initial discussions with the investor, a crucial question arose:
“Can the building be constructed with a wooden structure instead of concrete?”
This inquiry led to a complete redesign of the architectural and spatial layout, requiring new engineering solutions. Additionally, the winding mountain road leading to the site posed challenges for transporting large construction elements.
Glass as a structural element
The large glass walls in the building serve both an aesthetic and structural purpose. They provide unobstructed views of the rolling hills, connecting the interior with nature while also playing a crucial structural role.
Instead of traditional concrete columns, the glass walls are designed to absorb horizontal forces such as wind and seismic loads. By directly bonding the glass surfaces to the wooden structure, the need for additional reinforcement elements was eliminated.
Height, span, and logistics – overcoming challenges
One of the most significant challenges was the height of the glass walls and the span of the open spaces. Additionally, transporting and installing these massive glass elements on such a demanding terrain required meticulous planning and precision engineering.
A perfect balance of design and engineering
Through careful coordination, advanced construction techniques, and a dedication to quality, we successfully overcame these technical challenges. The result is a building that seamlessly combines architectural elegance with structural innovation, creating a unique and sophisticated space.
For Kager, 2024 represented a major milestone. Through successfully completed projects, breakthroughs in new markets, and impactful collaborations, we demonstrated that innovation, quality, and adaptability remain the cornerstones of our work.
