Today, our design for the new cultural center of the Slovenian city Izola has been revealed at the exhibition showcasing competition finalists and designs.

To boost Izola’s new cultural quarter, our design proposal for the Istrian Cultural Centre is guided by the concept of connection. Carefully positioned in the urban and natural fabric of the harbor city, the building connects the city with the seaside, bridges the gap between the historic center and the newly developed tourist areas, and links practitioners and visitors of various art forms. We designed the beating heart of Izola’s cultural quarter featuring a wide variety of spaces, from a small café and a book shop to performance spaces and a full-scale theatre hall.
