Slovak property developer CORWIN has committed to constructing an 82-meter, 23-storey residential tower in Ljubljana, designed by our long-term partner Snøhetta—marking a major cross-border dialogue around this contemporary architectural concept in Slovenia’s capital.
Ljubljana doesn’t build tall—heritage and UNESCO restrictions limit downtown heights. The city’s second-highest building is the Crystal Palace, a shopping center from 2011. So when CORWIN—a developer better known for Prague office blocks—decided to go vertical in Slovenia’s capital, they needed to convince a city that thinks six stories is ambitious.
More than just a tower, Nordika is part of a broader masterplan to revitalize the brownfield area along Masarykova Street into a vibrant, walkable district of housing, public space, and mixed-use buildings
That’s where we came in. As a leading architectural visualization studio in Europe, we specialize in translating architectural concepts into photorealistic renderings that convince before construction begins.
We used the intermission to perfect our visualization package as well. Our obsessive attention to Ljubljana’s atmospheric conditions and the way light behaves on Central European façades was key throughout the project. Every render was crafted to translate Snøhetta’s design language and make it speak Ljubljana’s visual dialect.
