Vila na Homcu/Villa in Homec

Arhitekt/Architect Jože Plečnik

Poslednja stvaritev znanega slovenskega arhitekta Jožeta Plečnika.

Plečnikova (nekdanja Pirnatova) vila stoji na Homškem hribu, na mestu nekdanjega mogočnega Društvenega doma, ki je bil med drugo svetovno vojno požgan.

Pasar Alojz Pirnat, sicer domačin iz Nožic, je po vojni kupil razvaline požganega Društvenega doma. Bil je eden izmed najtesnejših Plečnikovih sodelavcev obrtnikov. Zanj je izdeloval cerkveno posodje, lestence in druge pasarske izdelke z zahtevno oblikovanimi detajli. Plečnik je na prošnjo prijatelja Pirnata izdelal načrte za nov stanovanjski objekt na Homcu in jih zasnoval tako, da je obdržal del še ohranjenih kletnih prostorov Društvenega doma ter jih vključil v nov objekt. Plečnik je vsa gradbena dela, od začetka gradnje v prvi polovici petdesetih let 20. stoletja, pa vse do svoje smrti, nadzoroval sam. Ker se je gradnja zavlekla, je nadzor nadaljeval njegov učenec Anton Bitenc. Gradbena dela so bila zaključena konec petdesetih let (1957), v celoti pa je bila zgradba dokončana desetletje kasneje.

The last creation of the famous Slovenian architect Jože Plečnik.

Plečnik’s (former Pirnat’s) villa stands on Homški hill, on the site of the former mighty Društveni dom, which was burnt down during the Second World War. After the war, Alojz Pirnat, a local from Nožice, bought the ruins of the burnt down Social Center. He was one of Plečnik’s closest associates of craftsmen. For him, he made church utensils, chandeliers and other products with intricately designed details. At the request of his friend Pirnat, Plečnik made plans for a new residential building in Homec and designed them in such a way that he kept part of the still preserved basement of the Drustveni dom and included them in the new building. Plečnik supervised all construction work from the beginning of construction in the first half of the 1950s until his death. As the construction was delayed, the supervision was continued by his student Anton Bitenc. Construction work was completed in the late 1950s (1957), and the entire building was completed a decade later.
