A closer look at: “SOLINARSKA HIŠA: Fragile Reflections”, an entry for the Salt-Pan House competition in Slovenia

The Salt-Pan House competition organized by Outsider focused on stopping the further ruin of one of the remaining salt-pan houses in Slovenia's Sečovlje Salina Nature Park, while using a new architectural intervention to serve as a spatial model of historic preservation. Entrants from around the world were invited to send their design ideas for a temporary architectural intervention that would be installed on the site of the salt-pan house. Their designs had to use cross-laminated timber panels as the primary material of their structure.

“SOLINARSKA HIŠA: Fragile Reflections” by Claudio C. Araya, Yahya Abdullah, Chemhao Ma, Yutan Sun was one of the submissions to the competition. Although the team didn't place, Bustler thought their entry was worth taking a look at. Below, the team shared more details of their project.
