Arhitekti Počivašek Petranovič

The studio was established in 2017 by Davorin Počivašek and Urban Petranovič.

We are a team of young architects, each of us contributing our knowledge and ideas. Our comprehensive and interdisciplinary approach to work benefits from collaborations with external experts – landscape architects, designers, and artists.
We are interested in the context from which we develop a project, the siting, the interaction between nature and the object, and the impact of natural elements such as light, wind, and climate. The tradition behind and meaning of the chosen form, elements, and typology are other considerations that we take well into consideration. Taken together, these factors help us form a clear idea and devise a carefully thought-out solution that is both contemporary and innovative.
We pay equal attention to every project we take on, regardless of the type and scale, from home renovations to commercial facilities, residential estates, and large complex projects such as the Dobrunje prison facility.

We have won commissions for major projects through successful participation in open competitions. Already in the first year of operation, we won the competition for the protection and rescue center in Trzin, the new male prison complex in Dobrunje, and in 2020 the competition for the commercial-residential complex NT6 in Novo Mesto. In 2022 we took part in the exhibition “New Praxes, New Tools” – the exhibition of selected contemporary Slovenian architectural practices.
