The development vision for the office and warehouse building in the Vič industrial zone in Ljubljana follows the structural transformation of a degraded urban area. In the 1980s, the Ljubljana Bypass “cut” into the spatial structure of the city, generating a series of synergistic points of spatial development at the intersections of traditional urban inroads […]
It is simply not appropriate for a housing typology to show excessive uniqueness, exclusivity and design excess. The apartment building is located north of the motorway ring, along Dunajska Road in Ljubljana. Its location is very interesting, as it occupies the entire building island, oriented to the east and west. Building a housing programme along […]
Every client, every space, every content requires rethinking. We do not accept prescriptions and playing the same motifs over and over again. The client approached the project with the ambitious idea of fitting out a new hairdressing salon in the centre of Ljubljana in just five months, from May to the end of September. Planning […]
An extension, a problem or a solution for bourgeois construction? The villas of Ljubljana, which are scattered around the “suburbs” of pre-modern Ljubljana in Poljane, Mir, Rozhná dolina, southern Bežigrad and lower Šiška, have some common features that are uncharacteristic of modern forms of living. As single-family buildings with a single entrance, they are significantly […]
We recreated the atmosphere of an oriental casbah by intertwining the themes and characters of the apartment. Modern multi-family housing construction nowadays rarely has the luxury of three-way orientation. For the most part, modern tenants and homebuyers are “condemned” to one-side-only lighting. Their perception of changing daily conditions and the passage of time is reduced […]

The Slovenian countryside is dotted with numerous farmhouses, dwellings and buildings used to manage arable land, pastures, meadows and forests. The cultural landscape, the natural environment and the settlement culture intertwine to create distinctive landscape patterns. Posavje, especially […]
An equal dialogue between the old and the new library building, between the traditional and the modern concept of raising awareness of knowledge and the importance of the written word. The new city library is the result of a winning project in a public competition. Of all the competition options submitted, we were the only […]
The North City Gate, a place of many opportunities and views – a residential and commercial building on Ljubljana’s northern entrance road. The layout plan for the northern part of Vienna Road, adopted in the early 1990s, was based on the bold visual-spatial assumption that a relatively low, compact, mixed-use row of buildings would be […]
Can post-earthquake reconstruction also be an opportunity to rethink traditional building typologies? In 1998, the Upper Posočje region was struck by a massive earthquake with a magnitude of 5.6. Many buildings were damaged, but one of the worst affected settlements was the village of Čezsoča, near Bovec. The rapid response that accompanies all disaster response […]
Can traffic become a park, or how to deal with the fact that an elevated car park is planned in a prominent urban location? The Ljubljana Clinical Centre Urban Master Plan envisages the siting of two above-ground car parks to relieve traffic congestion in the area and to provide visitors with easy, transparent and accessible […]
