A home full of kitchen stories

During the pandemic in 2020, Bine and his wife Katarina decided to leave the city and embraced a more tranquil and rural environment, using this opportunity to embark on a new adventure in their gastronomic journey. Why chose between a family home and a culinary retreat?
 
The elegant Monstera estate now balances the contrast between being their home and a peaceful and inviting space where the couple can welcome gourmet guests. They offer a unique gourmet experience that helps to escape from the fast-paced world, encouraging slow living, sharing meals, and creating moments that can foster genuine human connections and an appreciation for simplicity.

The Volčič family reimagined the small farm in Goričko after purchasing it in 2017 as a future retirement retreat. One key requirement guided their vision – the new structure needed to blend effortlessly with the beauty of nature all around it. To achieve this, they preserved the U-shaped layout of the original structure, which is common in Goričko farmhouses. The Tondach – “Vlečeni Zareznik Antik” – roof tiles were chosen to visually merge with the environment, allowing the estate to become one with nature.
 
To further enhance the living experience especially in the attic, Tondach roof windows were introduced. These do not only add an interesting design element on the roof, but also fill the interior of the attic spaces with natural light, thereby creating an uplifting and bright ambiance, right under the gorgeous roof.
