Trnovo Church Pavilion

The Trnovo Church Pavilion in Ljubljana, Slovenia, stands as a discreet yet versatile cultural and social space, designed to foster solidarity, equality, integration, and exchange within the community. Its architecture is intentionally transparent, accentuating the quality of the existing atrium between the church and Plečnik House. Through a minimalist approach and carefully chosen materials, the pavilion exudes a sense of lightness while offering viewers a rich and sophisticated experience. Adorned with vine leaves, the concrete wall carries a symbolic weight, embodying both joy and strength. This natural embellishment serves as a visual testament to the pavilion's purpose and ethos. The presentation area boasts a cantilevered roof, providing essential shading during hot summer days. A mirrored ceiling adds another layer of symbolism, reflecting the beauty of the surroundings and evoking the concept of heaven on Earth. The openings within the pavilion, mirrored on the ceiling's surface, form a symbolic image of the Holy Cross, imbuing the space with spiritual resonance. Concealed behind the concrete wall are practical amenities such as a kitchen, an exit from the underground garage, and a passage connecting the parish to the pavilion, ensuring seamless functionality alongside its aesthetic appeal.
