Construction began on 19 April 1931 and the building opened on 21 February 1933. It was, upon completion, the tallest building in the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, and the ninth-tallest high-rise in Europe.〔Ifko, Sonja (1995), ''(Recent Slovenian Architecture )'', University of Ljubljana, pp. 13. Retrieved 3 December 2007.〕 It was and would remain for some time the tallest residential building in Europe.〔 Predominantly a place of business, the Nebotičnik skyscraper is home to a variety of shops on the ground floor and first story, and various offices are located on floors two to five. The sixth to ninth floors are private residences. Located on the top three floors are a café, bar and observation deck.〔''(Ljubljana.si - Skyscraper )''.

The company hoped to restore the Nebotičnik skyscraper to its former glory.〔"(Australian Slovenian Buys Top Floors of Ljubljana Landmark )" Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Slovenia. Retrieved on 1 January 2008.〕 == Architecture == The Nebotičnik skyscraper, originally designed as an eight-storey building,〔 was designed by Vladimir Šubic, with assistance from Ladislav Kham, Ivo Medved (pavilion on the terrace), Marjan Mušič (tempietto on top), Marjan Sever, and Bojan Stupica (fittings of the cafe). The building was decorated with sculptures by Lojze Dolinar (the female figure on the side façade in the height of the sixth floor), Boris Kalin (the relief above the main entrance), and France Gorše (four bronze heads in the main hall). Its design is based on the neoclassical and art-deco styles, and is crowned with pilasters on the upper floors. Its design follows the classical tripartite division of tall buildings pioneered by the American architect Louis Sullivan—it is composed of a base designed to interact with the street and pedestrians, a homogeneous shaft, and a crown, topped by a cylindrical colonnade with a mounted flag pole,〔 which was added after the completion of the tower.〔(Slovenia.info - Architectural heritage - Ljubljana, Nebotičnik Skyscraper ). Retrieved 24 December 2007.〕 The façade is interrupted by evenly distributed rectangular windows framed in stone, an accentuated ground level and first floor, and semi-circular windows in the café on the eleventh storey. The entrance on the ground floor leads to a lobby lined with Karst marble. Upper storeys are accessible by elevator or the spiral stairway at the centre of the building.〔''(world66.com - Ljubljana Sights )'' mentions staircase. (Nebotičnik Stairway ) on Flickr. Retrieved on 3 December 2007.〕 Two of the elevators are fast and lead visitors to the café on the upper floors, while the third is slower and leads to the residential levels.〔 The stairway terminates at the tenth floor. The façade is adorned by a four-metre (13 foot) tall sculpture of a woman, the work of the Slovenian sculptor Lojze Dolinar, to help alleviate the connection between the skyscraper and the lower bank next to the tower.〔 Sculptures in the loggia were designed by the Slovenian sculptor France Gorše.〔 Located to the west of the Nebotičnik skyscraper is a six storey residential structure, designed by the same architect. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Nebotičnik」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
