The brief

The question behind the work.

Urh Rucigaj Roberts' master's thesis proposes a low-cost renovation of an NGO headquarters in Metelkova, Ljubljana.

The scheme turns part of an old military barracks into a co-working environment for the organisations already using it, while adding multi-use spaces and opening their work to the wider public.

User participation supports the low-cost approach, including joinery that partitions enlarged internal spaces for adaptive reuse while retaining Metelkova's established identity.
