VURNIK'S HOUSE, Ljubljana
The Vurnik House, or the former Cooperative Bank, on Miklošičeva Street, is one of the most famous buildings in Ljubljana. With its richly decorated facade, it partially stands out from the frame of its otherwise similarly vibrant Art Nouveau part of the city. Built in 1921 by architect Ivan Vurnik, it is considered one of the finest examples of national style architecture.

Vurnik House, or the Cooperative Business Bank building, is possibly the most colorful building in Ljubljana. The structure was finished in 1922 and is the product of architect Ivan Vurnik’s quest to find a distinctive Slovenian architectural style. The exterior of the building was originally painted by Vurnik’s wife, Helena, who incorporated the Slovenian tricolor with motifs of carnations and Slovenian landscapes into the house’s facade.
