Post Office Building
6, Trg zmage, Murska Sobota, Slovenia
The new building and renovation of the Post Office on the main square of
Murska Sobota represents the final sequence in the revitalization of the
city centre, a series of projects that has previously included the renovation
of the Marketplace and forming of the new urban area behind the square
via a new mixed use building.
The Post Office Building fills the gap that has existed for decades, between
two late-1960s buildings with pronounced vertical facades. The new
structure with a floor plan of 10 by 14 metres is enclosed between
neighbouring structures and has no interior construction except for a
corner vertical core. On street level, the new customer service integrates
the new and renovated building; the four upper floors of the new structure
contain office space.
Wedged between two rigid systems, the new façade is designed as
floating of horizontal glass panels that "stitch" together neighbouring
buildings and convey into the structure the omnipresent horizontality of
the square, the city and surrounding plains. Composed of various types of
glass, the façade has transparent glass in the entrance area and solidly
coloured black glass over the communication vertical. Primary façade area
is composed of four hues of solidly coloured glass and four hues of
reflecting coated glass, with thin strips of stainless steel dividing the
horizontals. Varying types of glass allow the building to “interact” with the
sky and thus offer a different picture depending on the weather.
The Post Office interior is finished in smooth modern materials and neutral
tones. Subdued atmosphere enhances the space's principal feature: the main
wall. Representing a tribute to the local craftsmanship that has flourished in the
area for centuries, it is covered in terracotta tiles and glazed pottery in different
sizes, both hand crafted locally specially for the project.
