Cukrarna, Cultural gallery in Ljubljana, Slovenia.

The Cukrarna building contains four white cube exhibition spaces within a steel structure suspended from the roof without touching external walls.

The structure started as a sugar refinery in 1828 and grew to become the largest sugar refinery in the Austro-Hungarian Empire by mid-19th century.

Several Slovenian writers from the Moderna period, including Ivan Cankar and Oton Župančič, gathered in this building during its residential phase.

The gallery presents contemporary art exhibitions across 2,500 square meters of space and accommodates up to 1,000 visitors for various events.

The renovation preserved 318 original windows and created an independent internal structure that floats within the historical external shell.
