A hub for regeneration and sustainable living
Project Kajža describes itself as a hub for regeneration and sustainable living. By showcasing successful renovation projects and promoting community engagement, Kajža aims to inspire individuals to view old houses as opportunities rather than burdens. In Slovene language kajža is an expression for an old and simple house, usually positioned in a village or other remote areas. The project therefore advocates for renovation in rural areas as a means to address housing challenges, while also exploring community housing practices and advocating for community renewal. Kajža provides education on renovation techniques and financing, promotes local self-sufficiency and sustainable living, and seeks systemic solutions for the resettlement and revitalization of abandoned buildings in the Slovenian countryside. Through intelligent reflection and empathy, Kajža strives to reconcile the various parameters involved, demonstrating that heritage preservation, sustainable living, and community revitalization can go hand in hand. It envisions a future where old buildings are cherished, communities thrive, and sustainable lifestyles are embraced.
Educational program
One of Kajža's main goals is to contribute to educating people about the significance of vernacular architecture from the past. The initiative follows the global trend of placing growing emphasis on the reuse of existing buildings. This practice aligns with sustainability efforts as renovation represents one of the most environmentally friendly options. In addition to maintaining an active blog on its website, Kajža regularly organizes events to raise public awareness about the importance of responsible renovation. They also provide consultancy services to support future renovators.
