In the last couple of years Celje has developed faster than any other Slovenian town in all aspects. This progress is also reflected in new architecture, as a result of which Celje has become a destination for architecturally enthusiastic tourists. From the series of first rate realizations according to Slovene standards, one should mention Nande Korpnik’s family house in Griže, which represented the turning of a new page of Slovene architecture during the 1990s, together with his recent project of the square Trg Celjskih Knezova and the Maximilian residential/office building. Also, there’s work of the Krušec architectural couple (Lena Krušec from Ljubljana and Tomaž Krušec from Celje): the Glazija residential-office building in Ljubljanska Street and the new Celjska Koča (Celje mountain hut).
