Plusminus30 Architects

The studio Plusminus30 Architects, founded in 2007 by Barbara Debevec, Lara Melon, Bernard Podboj and Jure Melon, works with clients' wishes and budgets to create projects that draw on local surroundings and materials to form links between tradition and technology.

All graduates of the Faculty of Architecture, University of Ljubljana, Plusminus30 Architects was founded when the team (together with Nataša Štrukelj) won the competition to work on the spaces of the University of Primorska and its Faculty of Humanities in Koper.

The studio's recent work covers a broad range of project types and functionalities: the waiting room for the dental practice Orto MD (2016), showroom designs for American cosmetics brand MUD (2017), renovation of an outdoor plaza area for the student dormitories in Koper (2017), and the Ducal Winery, a multi-phase project that will transform a traditional wine cellar into a modern resort (2018). Yet another winery project was that of Edi Simčič Winery in Goriška Brda (2019).
