Slovenian architects Ofis have completed a combined office, warehouse and shop on an industrial estate in Skofja Loka.
The architects took on a plot that already had planning permission and adapted existing plans.
They also had to employ the services of a construction company already contracted to build on the plot using a pre-selected concrete prefab system.
The building, for a company that makes safety equipment, is finished in concrete, glass, metal and polycarbonate.
