Verdea by Vivijana Zorman
Verdea is a modern house in Logatec, Slovenia, designed by Vivijana Zorman as an open, flowing home for contemporary living. Soft green cabinetry, pale timber floors, and light-drenched rooms connect across two levels, giving the semi-detached structure a calm, continuous character. Throughout, carefully placed furniture and built-in elements keep each room generous yet intimate. Glazing, columns, and a sculpted stair guide movement while preserving clear views between social zones.
Morning light runs along the pale herringbone floor and climbs the white column by the kitchen island. A soft green volume anchors the room while sheer curtains glow. Around it, quiet furnishings and rounded edges keep every sightline gentle.
This semi-detached house in Logatec, Slovenia, is organized as an open-plan home for a contemporary household. Interior architect Vivijana Zorman arranges daily life around fluid circulation, allowing movement to loop between kitchen, dining, and living areas without dead ends. Interior character grows from a measured palette of greens, light wood, and whites, applied with careful variation from ground floor to attic rooms.
On the main level, the kitchen reads as the heart of the plan with its full-height soft green cabinetry and central island. Slender legs in the same hue brace the rounded island, while two red stools add a deliberate jolt of color. One short wall pulls back for a tall opening toward the dining table, so someone cooking stays visually connected to conversations and the garden beyond the glazed façade. Storage is handled in flush planes, keeping the room clear for movement.
Linking Kitchen And Lounge
From the island, the eye runs straight toward the living area, where a low timber console aligns under the television and a pair of large windows. A column marks the gentle bend between kitchen and lounge, working more as a quiet pivot than a barrier. Soft grey seating, a circular wall light, and a slim floor lamp cluster against a vertical timber panel, setting up a relaxed corner for reading or conversation. The continuity of flooring across this level reinforces the sense that one generous room simply shifts in use.
Dining Axis And Stair
The dining table sits directly between the green kitchen wall and the sculpted stair, forming a clear axis through the house. Overhead, two circular pendant lights trace delicate outlines against the white ceiling, echoing the island’s radius and the column profiles. The stair itself rises in light timber treads with open risers, hovering above a built-in planter that brings foliage into the heart of the interior. As people move up and down, the dining area stays visually active yet never crowded.
Calm Work And Rest Rooms
Upstairs, rooms continue the palette with lighter gestures and more daylight. A study pairs a long timber worktop with white storage wall units and a curved pale green sofa, creating a compact but comfortable place for focused work. The main bedroom centers on a tailored headboard that wraps the wall in wood and upholstered panels, while patterned relief on the ceiling catches shadows from the tall window. Green bedding and curtains tie back to the kitchen’s color, keeping the narrative consistent from floor to floor.
Softly Lit Bath And Wardrobe
Beyond a glass partition, the ensuite bathroom stays bright and quiet with white walls, a freestanding tub, and a slim glass shower screen. A long timber vanity with integrated basin stretches along one side, its simple geometry mirrored by linear brass-colored fittings. Nearby, the dressing area gains natural light from a roof window over built-in wardrobes and a low timber bench. Everyday routines unfold along this sequence, from waking in the bedroom to dressing under the soft daylight.
By the time evening falls, the circular lights in the living room, the sculptural pendants, and discreet ceiling fixtures draw the house into a gentle glow. Colors stay muted yet precise, so the greens read fresh rather than loud. Through consistent materials and careful transitions, Verdea turns an open plan into a calm, connected interior tuned to daily rhythms.
