As an Architect with a specialization in interior design, I am deeply committed to creating spaces that prioritize the well-being of individuals and their environments. With a keen understanding of how design impacts people’s lives, I strive to incorporate innovative solutions and meaningful connections in my work.

Collaboration is a fundamental aspect of my approach, as I thrive on learning from diverse perspectives and working as part of a team to achieve common goals. Having lived in various countries, I have gained a unique appreciation for nature and the built environment, which inspires me to seek creative ways to integrate architecture with the natural world.

With a focus on incorporating innovative design solutions and creating spaces that promote positive experiences, I am dedicated to designing interiors that are not only visually appealing, but also contribute to the well-being of individuals and their communities.

The architectural and interior design project located in Ljubljana has been designed for a family. The space features modern open spaces and high-end furniture, creating a luxurious atmosphere. The interior is spacious and flooded with natural light, giving the space a bright and airy feel.

The open floor plan seamlessly integrates the living room, dining area, and kitchen, making it an ideal space for family gatherings and entertaining. The kitchen features state-ofthe-art appliances and sleek cabinetry. The dining area is positioned to take advantage of the natural light, while the living room features comfortable seating.

The bedrooms are located on the upper level of the home and offer a tranquil retreat for the family. Each bedroom has its own bathroom. The master bedroom includes a spacious ensuite bathroom with a luxurious soaking tub and sauna.

Throughout the home, passive design features have been incorporated to maximize energy efficiency and minimize environmental impact. These features include energy-efficient windows, insulation, and HVAC systems. The result is a space that not only looks beautiful but also functions efficiently and sustainably.
