one of the latest projects by OFIS architects repurposed a historical complex in ljubljana, slovenia. the building used to be a butcher factory complete with water tower and butcher hall. ofis was commissioned to remake the old factory into a contemporary shopping centre, while preserving the existing historical structure. to make things even more tricky, the building had an extremely limited budget which had to stretch quite far. the interior was going to be completed in the store’s established standard finishings. however, ofis needed to find a way to turn the façade into something more spectacular. they devised a cut metal pattern, which was to be placed on the façade. these perforated metal cut-outs are place all over the wall and the pieces removed from the perforation were repurposed and also place on the façade. overtime, climbing greenery will be added to the façade.
