Perched at the edge of a valley in Podgorje pri Slovenj Gradcu, Slovenia, House NB is a masterful expression of architecture in harmony with landscape. With its sculptural Art Deco form and seamless transitions between interior and exterior, the residence invites both contemplation and connection.
At the centre of the home, the JC Bordelet Lea suspended fireplace, proudly supplied by Sculpt Fireplace Collection, anchors the open-plan space with warmth and visual drama.
Fire at the Heart of the Home
Suspended mid-air beneath soaring ceilings, the JC Bordelet Lea creates a striking focal point in the main living zone. Flames remain in full view from every angle, casting light and comfort across the living, dining, and kitchen areas. Its central placement encourages both gathering and quiet reflection.
A Home Designed for Flow and Light
Daylight pours in through floor-to-ceiling windows, illuminating the organic transitions between spaces. The home features a raised dining platform, a library nook, a gallery-style play area, and a floating stone kitchen island—each with a unique purpose and feel, yet all grounded by the fireplace.
The result is a unified interior experience, where each zone feels intentional, open, and tactile.
Architecture That Embraces Its Setting
Outdoor terraces wrap around the building and extend the living areas into the surrounding valley. These spaces blur the boundaries between inside and out, offering year-round use and uninterrupted connection to the land.
The bold exterior form shelters the quiet, material-rich interiors, where wood, stone, and soft lighting create a calming rhythm throughout.
Details That Elevate Everyday Living
In private zones, the same design language continues. A spa-inspired bathroom, influenced by Henri Rousseau’s lush, surreal landscapes, integrates art, nature, and texture. Every surface and transition reflects careful attention and refined restraint.
At every turn, House NB reveals new layers of experience. The JC Bordelet Lea fireplace doesn’t just heat the home, it brings it to life.
