This very low budget social housing complex for young families and couples in Slovenia features a unique Honeycomb design inspired by the kingdom of bees. Located on the Slovenian coast in Izola, the façade offers nice views towards the sea, even when the blinds are closed via semi-transparent angled textile shadings. Also, the design smartly changes the rhythm of balconies to create dynamic elevations and offer privacy.
 Balcony modules are designed as efficient system providing shading and ventilation for the apartments. Textile elements fixed on the front of the balconies block direct sunlight and accumulate "air buffer" zone. In the summer hot accumulated area behind the shadings is naturally ventilated through (10 cm holes) perforated side partitions of the balconies. In the winter the warm air stays in the area and provides additional heating to the apartments.
