Open House worldwide: the keys to the kingdom
Open House Slovenia: 7-9 October
Property: Brezje Open Altar
Home to the 19th century church of St Vid, the small village of Brezje is one of Slovenia's most important pilgrimage sites, but until recently, the square in front of the church was inadequate for the open air masses it regularly holds. Enter architect Maruša Zorec, who has used the existing stone wall along one of its sides as a support for a structure comprising an altar chamber that can be opened to the elements, and services like toilets, which are neatly screened behind. Teaming up with Martina Tepina, she has devised a simple box-like unit dressed in birch wood, with a steel and concrete altar that perfectly counterpoints the ornamented religious objects.
