Bevk Perović Arhitekti

Founded in 1997 by Matija Bevk and Vasa J. Perović, Bevk Perović Arhitekti is a multiple-award winning architecture office based in Ljubljana. Well known for its big public housing projects as well as for its broad-mindedly designed private houses located around Slovenia, the office also garnered international recognition by gathering awards and winning several competitions and commissions abroad. The works by Bevk Perović often sport a slightly reserved feel, though paradoxically this doesn't prevent them from usually being very outspoken buildings.

Of their more notable recent ventures, one might mention their plan for the upcoming National and University Library building, the 2017 constructed Islamic Centre in Ljubljana and the Situla Building, a striking mixed-use block built near the main railway station in Ljubljana. Besides designing buildings, they occasionally collaborate with the contemporary lighting manufacturer Vertigo Bird. This particular enterprise also got them praise as well as awards.
