Memories in trunks

The refurbishment of a historic house in the centre of the village of Skopo, Slovenia, seeks to give voice to the memory of the objects and images discovered in the trunks preserved in the home’s old storeroom. The intervention aims to retain the essence of the house and its quiet beauty, weaving the artefacts into the design and limiting the works to structural and functional improvements.
The renovation embraces the typological features of the building — the old hayloft hoist, the well, the external balcony and the pergola — preserving and enhancing the existing materials in their original colours, so that the house may tell its story to the guests of the B&B.
