KalasContemporary is a unique multifunctional space in the middle of an oasis of tranquillity in the heart of the Haloze wine district. The building is a revitalisation of an old vinedresser’s cottage in modern architectural form, with an attractive interior and extraordinary panoramic views. It is a residential artist’s studio with gallery, complemented by a collection of antiques and the main attraction, an old wooden wine press dating from 1837.
The architectural concept is a synthesis of traditional elements and modern design that provides a unique and unforgettable experience. It is a high-tech space where everything is operated at the touch of a button (air-conditioning, heating, blinds, underfloor heating, internet). Outside, the terraces and green areas offer an interplay of light and shade and, above all, plenty of privacy.
The surrounding area is rich in opportunities for recreation in natural surroundings and perfect for romantic walks, hiking and cycling. The nearby river Drava offers numerous activities (canoeing, fishing, swimming, etc.).
