Inovativna tehnična rešitev nadgradnje Poljanska – Roška by Arheja and CBD d.o.o.
XLam City Top, also known as the Poljanska-Roška extension, is an excellent example of upgrading an existing building with a timber structure. It is a two-story older building that could have been demolished, generating at least 1,500 tons of construction waste. A new, five-storey building would then have required around 3,800 tons of concrete, resulting in at least 1,000 tons of CO₂ emissions. With seismic retrofitting, 380 m³ of concrete were added to the building, corresponding to about 100 tons of CO₂ emissions. However,

CIRCULAR TIMBER PAVILION
The Planica Pavilion combined expressive design with structural efficiency. Its folded roof, inspired by mountain peaks, enabled large spans and resisted wind and horizontal forces. The Planica Pavilion showcased advanced, low-carbon timber construction and circular design: elements were made for disassembly, reuse, and long life. Most components were reused after the event, reducing waste, resource use, and carbon footprint. Engineering and design CBD Manufacturer Stora Enso
XLAM CITY TOP
XLam City Top (Poljanska–Roška extension) shows how an existing building can be upgraded with timber instead of demolition. Rather than generating large amounts of waste and CO₂ from new concrete construction, the project combines seismic retrofitting with a CLT extension that stores more CO₂ than is emitted. The result is a modern, energy-efficient, earthquake-resistant building with a negative carbon balance, preserving urban continuity. Engineering and design CBD Manufacturer Stora Enso
SYLVA SYSTEM
The innovation is based on a strategic, long-term partnership between CBD d.o.o. and Stora Enso, combining CBD’s expertise in seismic timber design with Stora Enso’s advanced wood solutions, such as Sylva. This synergy enables efficient, precise, and low-carbon construction through integrated design, prefabrication, and assembly, creating added value by uniting engineering, research, and low-carbon construction.

BIG SEE Debate Ljubljana 2024
ZONE OF COMFORT: HOW THE YOUNGER GENERATION OF ARCHITECTS SHAPES INTERIORS Interior design is a field of architecture: it deals with spaces that are in direct contact with humans. It must surpass aesthetics and create functional, user-friendly spaces. In doing so, it must consider existing structures, function, lighting, ventilation, materials, colors, textures, communications, volumes, and proportions, and arrange them with architectural and design techniques into a safe, comfortable, adaptable, and interesting space.

Villa SP, Venice
The particularity of the area suggested a building intervention that re-proposes, in the current interpretation, a residential building that can be traced back to an architecture that respects the surrounding natural environment and with references to traditional forms and building techniques.The project therefore aims to the realization of an essential and sculptural architecture through the modeling of a "monolithic" volume where, the external brick wall facing, with light lime plastering, recovers the concept of the surrounding walls, typical of the surrounding countryside. The main volume
Eco house BIC Ljubljana, Multifunctional school for a nature conservation technician program
The new school, Ekohiša, at the edge of Ljubljana\'s wetlands, uses almost zero energy. In 530 m2, there are four classrooms, a workshop, and a multi-purpose lobby. The layout flirts with the surroundings. Wooden slats with uneven rasters mimic the branches and trunks of trees. The boughs\' shadow reflects into the upstairs, while the white color on the ground floor suggests mist hanging over the landscape in the early morning. Credits Architecture
