- thestrongrope, on 06/23/2008, -0/+17Nice! I think this is a great design. There is a certain repetitiveness to it, but being staggered, slightly different sizes and having different colored shades, breaks up the monotony of it all. I wish public housing could always be this imaginative.
- tomazkovacic, on 06/23/2008, -2/+19Ne morem verjet, da je Slovenija na prvi strani Digg-a! Zgleda, da je predsedovanje EU in obisk Bušmana le pomagal.
- Slovenian6474, on 06/23/2008, -2/+17Thanks.
- inactive, on 06/23/2008, -0/+14I'll definitely have to visit this if I'm ever in Slovenia. I love it.
- unique172, on 06/23/2008, -1/+14Go visit Slovenia. It's a wonderful place.
- pigglesnout, on 06/23/2008, -0/+12Kicks my houses ass any day of the week.
- FL33C3, on 06/23/2008, -1/+12Haha, men je tud srce zapelo, ko sm to vidu. Dugg for the first non-english comment ever seen.
- joeolivas, on 06/23/2008, -1/+11Honeycomb's big...
- Rauby, on 06/23/2008, -1/+10Translation: "I can´t believe, that Slovenia is on front page of digg.com. It´looks like holding of the presidency of EU and visiting the USA president Bush helps our nation.
edit: tomazkovacic: Slovenija ga rula! - noncn4mst, on 04/15/2009, -4/+13I think it's hideous. But my question is:
SINCE WHEN did they put housing projects on the BEACH?? - unique172, on 06/23/2008, -0/+9I studied in Austria in 2004 and spent quite a bit of time in Slovenia. It's gorgeous, the people are very friendly, and everything is still inexpensive (though this is changing). It's my favorite place to hang out in Europe by far - not for culture specifically (it's not Paris or Berlin), but just for spending some quality time. Love the place.
- jaredvolkl, on 06/23/2008, -1/+10Dugg because that's damn cool AND I'm half Slovenian.
- inactive, on 06/23/2008, -0/+8I think they did some really awesome stuff in the 70's, and a lot of it deserves to be revisited from a design perspective. A lot of the time, it seems there's an unfounded bias against anything that was popular in another era. True progress is about more than just abandoning old ideas.
- laughandsing, on 06/23/2008, -1/+8Classic.
- b0j3, on 06/23/2008, -0/+7Dugg for mentioning Slovenia.
- inactive, on 06/23/2008, -1/+8The beat the hell out of the projects in NYC.
- dvda2, on 06/23/2008, -1/+8tell it like it is brotha!!!! what did he write?
- tomazkovacic, on 06/23/2008, -1/+7Ou ha ha ha *sarcasm*
Go back to your cheesey holland and try to invent something more impressive than wooden footwear. - dunker, on 06/23/2008, -0/+6Thanks. :) Damn, there's a lot of us. :)
- greentime, on 06/23/2008, -1/+7Quite beautiful!
- Rauby, on 06/23/2008, -0/+6I don´t know. I was there about a week ago (It´s about 200km from me). it´s not so impressive as it looks. I much more like the older classy buildings in this area.
- metapop, on 06/23/2008, -1/+7if you only knew how great it is living in europe... slovenia is a gorgeous country. i lived in budapest for 2 years, probably the best 2 years of my life.
*edit*- i meant to respond to wordsncollision. - Hypersapien, on 06/23/2008, -0/+5It looks like the housing developments in all the utopian sci-fi movies.
The future is starting - rawg, on 06/23/2008, -1/+6The design is a little busy for my tastes but it's definitely a step up from most public housing projects that I've seen. I'm assuming that there are efficiencies in the design that make it cheaper to construct and maintain but couldn't find any in the article.
I do like the fact that the design incorporates elements that make it more energy efficient, which helps the occupants but is also better for the environment. - tomazkovacic, on 06/23/2008, -0/+5Slovenci na Digg-u!? Ne morm verjet. Bom kr oba dodal na seznam prijateljev.
- Slackdragon, on 06/23/2008, -0/+5Yeah yeah yeah!
It's not small. - WordsnCollision, on 06/23/2008, -2/+6Sounds great, except the Slovenia part (just kidding, Slovenes, you're all right!)
- dserfaty, on 06/23/2008, -8/+12I hate it... I'm not really sure what you guys find esthetic about it. To me it looks like an ugly building and they tried to cover the ugliness with pretty colors. To each his own I suppose...
- Otto, on 06/23/2008, -0/+4No no no.
- MarkDenali, on 06/23/2008, -1/+5pretty cool. very mid-century inspired.
- Surferess, on 06/23/2008, -0/+4I like it!
- Versh, on 06/23/2008, -0/+4A vast improvement from the company's previous work on the Cosmo-Slotnick building-- only I would think a limited palette would look better than the current multi-colored textile shades. Still, one has to admire the austere purity of minimalistic modernism.
- notadiggtard, on 06/23/2008, -0/+4Welcome back to the Seventies!
- markob, on 06/23/2008, -0/+4*****. I traveled there many times on the same train, no such thing. Also, it's WAY more chance for you to get mugged in Hungary than Slovenia.
- igorQ, on 06/23/2008, -0/+4Slovenia ftw!
- phenom2k7, on 06/23/2008, -2/+6I'm seeing colourful prison cells. It looks awful. Another fad that people will look back upon and think wtf were they thinking.
It reminds me of some of the disaster buildings still left up from the 60, 70's. - finalcut, on 06/23/2008, -3/+6It doesn't really look at all appealing to me. Instead it reminds me of a 1970's era bit of architecture. The colors, the awkward angles, everything about it screams early 70's.
- thingsarecool, on 06/23/2008, -0/+3I wish I could live there. It makes me happy.
- Duositex, on 06/23/2008, -0/+3Not exactly a honeycomb.. but.. sorta close.
- lysdexia, on 06/23/2008, -0/+3A burst of colourful energy - they look lovely to my eyes.
- mandarin, on 06/23/2008, -0/+3I can already imagine lots of hanging clothes on those things if they ever build that in Socal
- eddosa, on 06/23/2008, -1/+4Ne mogu ni ja da vjerujem :)
- Rauby, on 06/23/2008, -0/+3Dodano, kolega ;)
- tjrecord, on 06/23/2008, -0/+3I think it looks terrible. There is waaaay too much orange and yellow and it looks so clashy. This structure should have had a gray concrete background and the colorful panels would have looked much nicer.
- piesforyou, on 06/23/2008, -0/+3I agree, it's absolutely hideous. And just imagine it in 10 years time when the wood has bleached and the paint is beginning to peel - ugh!
- Janes, on 06/23/2008, -1/+4Too bad half of our national bee population perished last year..
Congratulations Rok Oman, Špela Videčnik, Martina Lipicer, Neža Oman, Nejc Batistič, Florian Frey, Marisa Baptista, and Špela Uršič. Your names deserve to be on Digg, you have helped put Slovenia on first page of Digg and not bushman. - Rauby, on 06/23/2008, -1/+4Thanks, a lot ;)
- mtmtmtmt, on 06/23/2008, -1/+3uh, those are balcony railings...
- justgenius12, on 06/24/2008, -0/+2Why would you use the word "gorgeous" to describe a house? I thought this was only used for hot chicks?!
- britoca, on 06/24/2008, -0/+2this guy said it well:

Gorgeous? Really?
I personally find it a bad copy of the worst of the 50s/60s. It’s really hideous actually.
Add to it that in 6 months time, because of the way it’s half impossible to clean easily, it’s going to be full of grey streaks from rain and a couple years down the line it will be a dirty hideous construction.
This is proof that people don’t learn anything from the past. Move on.. move on.." -
