This large urban complex brings new public life into the city center of Ljubljana. The basis of the project is a 1600 seat opera- and concert hall. The auditorium is cantilevered as a giant red sphere into the foyer that overlooks Argentinski park. A shining glass crown tops off the foyer. It holds a panoramic spa, swimming pool, bars, restaurants and a ballrooms. On top of that two 73 meter high twin towers rise into the Ljubljana skyline, housing a five star hotel with 120 rooms. In the basement one finds an underground parking garage for 800 cars. An shopping/office building and an appartment building complement the urban block. The project adds a new image to the skyline of the city.
