Project description	The Alpine Dream House was erected for the purposes of petit tourism. Namely, prestigious guests come to the estate, who are aware of the quality of living in a wooden house and appreciate it very much. The house was made entirely by the owner. The Alpine Dream House stands on the Ložekar estate in the Logarska Valley. The farm is 100 ha in size, stretching from 800 up to 1500 m above sea level. A log cabin made of lunar wood is for people who know or want to experience what it means to live in such an environment. The Superior House of the Alpine Dream is only a few steps away from the farm, but its location offers unforgettable intimacy. The wooden house is fully equipped with wooden furniture and interior decoration, the wood was cut down in the home forest (in the forest owner's own). He also made indoor furniture and outdoor garden furniture himself. On the ground floor is a large living room with dining area, fireplace and TV. The space is connected to the kitchen, which does not differ in equipment from its urban relatives (induction hob, oven, refrigerator, freezer, microwave, cutting machine, multipractice, dishwasher, pantry).
Construction material timber	The wood to build the house was cut entirely in the owner’s forest (he owns 80 hectares of forest). Description of Aleš Klemenšek: “Lojze Lipnik (district forester) and I‘ 1350 meters ’‘ sniffed ’the trees for this hut and then we waited for the right moon, for the right date when they fell. We took a hundred cubic meters of logs to a sawmill in Nazarje, where they were machine peeled and then we waited for a good year for the moon wood to dry, discharge, calm down and only then was it ready to be sawn. In Nazarje we assembled the house, marked the individual parts, dismantled it, brought it up here and put it together again. Then again, I left her alone for a good three-quarters of a year to balance herself, to find her position. Wood is a living thing, it needs to be given time - it makes a force to nature once, and it will slap you back five times.
Planning	The construction of the house took place under his own direction. They applied for a public tender for the construction and the house was also partially co-financed.
