VILLA MONJA
Ljuta, Kotor, Montenegro
PROJECT
Enforma Studio (Nikola Novakovic,
Radovan Radoman)
In 2015, architects Nikola Novakovic and Radovan
Radoman of Enforma completed the project of
renovating the interior of Villa Monja, an 18th-
century stone building in the Bay of Kotor. The area
has been a Unesco World Heritage Site since 1979
and therefore subject to the restrictions associated
with the conservation of historic buildings.
The renovation has exploited the transparency of
glass to give a contemporary twist to the building,
using it to separate the different areas in the
structure without creating visual limitations, and
to construct a minimalist staircase and landing in
glass and steel. The lightness of these innovative
elements contrasts with and elevates the ancient
stone walls and wooden structures to give the villa a
sense of timeless elegance.
The lighting fixtures are in harmony with the
architectural project’s minimalist style. White Cube
W 1.0 wall-mounted fixtures are set in the stone,
heightening that material’s qualities, while Gem
1.0 projectors, also in a white finish, punctuate the
wooden beams in the living area.
