I’m an award-winning architect with +10 years of work experience in diverse project scales and typologies, from urban master plans to shelving systems. The scale is of no importance to me. A chair and a city block are equally complex and stimulating design challenges.

Among my proudest achievement is the co-founding of the studio Filter Arhitektura with a group of passionate architects, that went on winning multiple awards at international competitions while at the same time playing a prominent role in inspiring the next-generation architectural practice in Bosnia-Herzegovina and the region, fully anchored in local context albeit with contemporary design language.

I enjoy each stage of design process, from the first raw idea to seeing it becoming a livable object, but what I’m particularly passionate about and skilled in is resolving contradictions stirred by the brainstorming dialogue, not only I see them as thought-provoking means but firmly believe no design issue can be unlocked without true collision.

I think of architectural and design solutions as tools for improving the quality of life but also as means to inform us about or revealing the conditions we live in. Yet, architecture alone cannot achieve this dual purpose, but only in synergy with other perspectives and sensitivities. It is this very cross-disciplinary nature I love the most and the one I believe has true transformative potential in shaping our communities for better, the way we live and interact.

When not drawing or thinking, I like best indulging in other passions of mine, mountaineering, skiing, ultra-trail running, sailing…
