House XL, Slovenia

A Modern Interpretation of Slovenian Building Tradition

Located in eastern Slovenia, House XL is designed for a family of seven and represents a contemporary interpretation of the region’s architectural heritage. Created by SoNo Architects, the residence is conceived as a quiet dialogue between tradition and modern living. Its form and proportions respond sensitively to the surrounding landscape of rolling hills and cultivated fields, allowing the building to settle naturally into its environment.

The architecture pays subtle tribute to local building traditions while introducing a refined modern expression. Through thoughtful massing, material selection, and careful integration with the terrain, House XL demonstrates how contemporary design can honor context, culture, and place—resulting in a home that feels both rooted and forward‑looking.

Nobilis – Subtle and Sophisticated Tones

Nobilis is a translucent, lightly pigmented façade panel that highlights the natural texture and depth of fiber cement. Its surface captures light softly, revealing the material’s authentic structure and giving each panel a refined, handcrafted quality.

With its understated elegance, Nobilis is an aesthetic choice for both exterior façades and interior spaces where a calm, sophisticated expression is desired. The collection’s subtle tones allow architects to create harmonious surfaces that feel timeless, tactile, and beautifully balanced within any architectural context.
