House NB is a breathtaking residence located on the edge of a valley in Podgorje pri Slovenj Gradcu, Slovenia. With its sculpted form and serene setting, the home creates a powerful connection between architecture and nature. Designed for light, flow, and human experience, it is a space where design feels both grounded and elevated.
At the centre of this warm, open-plan living space sits the JC Bordelet Lea suspended wood fireplace, proudly supplied by Sculpt Fireplace Collection. Suspended in mid-air and surrounded by soaring ceilings, this fireplace offers a dramatic visual anchor. Flames dance in full view, casting light and warmth across the living, dining, and kitchen areas. Its placement encourages gathering and reflection, creating a strong sense of place.
Floor-to-ceiling windows welcome daylight from every angle, bathing the interiors in a gentle glow. The home flows organically from shared zones to more intimate retreats. A raised dining area, open library nook, gallery-style play space, and floating stone kitchen island each deliver their own unique mood—while still feeling unified by the central fireplace.
Outside, terraces extend from the home, blurring the line between indoors and the surrounding landscape. These outdoor spaces invite year-round use, offering comfort and connection to the valley beyond. The house’s strong exterior form gently protects the calm, tactile interiors within.
Even in private spaces, attention to detail shines. A spa-inspired bathroom, inspired by Henri Rousseau’s dreamlike jungle scenes, brings texture and nature into daily rituals. Every finish, surface, and transition has been carefully considered.
Ultimately, House NB celebrates the poetry of architecture. It invites touch, movement, and stillness. With the JC Bordelet Lea suspended wood fireplace as its heart, the home becomes a living expression of design, nature, and meaning.
