Gartner Architects' project creates a new relationship with the landscape, offering each room the view and experience of Milka's incredible alpine backdrop. The materials, colors and shapes of the interior are inspired by the mountainous, green and forested surroundings.
The program consists of 6 new rooms, each unique with its own character. The proposal stands out for the use of quality and durable materials derived from local Slovenian tradition, such as wood and stone, which are the main materials for the exterior and interior of the hotel.

Description of project by Gartner Architects
In the heart of Julian Alps, the old guesthouse Milka got a new life. Restaurant occupies the ground floor together with theoutside terrace offering gorgeous vistas over the Alpine Lake Jasna and the Julian Alps. Reception, one suite and a private sauna occupies the basement. 5 elegantly equipped rooms occupy the other floors.
The concept of Milka is to offer a wholesome alpine experience, combining Slovene tradition with modern comfort at the highest level. The thread that connects everything is taken from the lake itself. Hilly, green, and wooded surroundings dictated the use of colours. The basis of architectural approaches was the use of quality and lasting materials stemming from local, Slovenian tradition – wood, metal, stone offering extremely tactile and rich experience every step of the way.
Milka now offers 6 new rooms, each unique with a character of their own. One of the main goals was to provide every room with the view and the experience of Milka’s amazing alpine backdrop. The interior, however, uses the colour palette of tones that change throughout the seasons, ranging from blueish and green hues of the lake and the surrounding mountains in summer to warmer tones of yellow, mustard colours of autumn leaves, and grey tones of the local limestone.

Gartner Architects is an architectural office which has been creating quality architecture for over ten years. Each member contributes something special, and together we have successfully implemented many challenging projects. Our team consists of: Jernej Gartner, Brigita Gartner, Maša Malgaj, Alenka Jager, Domen Gjergek in Anže Kumar.
The office does interior design, design plans for residential and industrial buildings, as well as shopping centres. They also remodel and renovate buildings of all sizes.
The beginnings of their architectural bureau, which is today known as the Gartner Architects LLC, reach back to 2007 when a group of experts in the field of architecture, advanced technologies, sustainable development, and design gathered. In 2010 the bureau started using advanced BIM technology (Building Information Modeling) which has been changing the overall approach to building design. This technology allows their clients to take full advantage of modern concepts in designing, executing plans, and managing their new or already existing buildings. This added value of their architectural bureau has been recognized by some major companies such as Novartis, Lek, Petrol, Lidl, Messer, JUB, the Housing Fund of the Republic of Sloveni, Knauf Insulation and Petrol, which continue to trust them with their projects. They have also been approached by several private investors with innovative solutions to housing construction and workspace design.
