- OFFICE PROFILE
- Davor Katušić and Jana Kocbek founded their joint office KatušićKocbek Arhitekti in 2010, the authorial successor of the office Produkcija 004. The KatušićKocbek Arhitekti is a medium-sized international company with premises in Zagreb and Ljubljana and certified architects in Croatia and Slovenia. A personalized approach to each project, however large or small, is a hallmark of our office. A corporate, generic way of doing business is not how we operate. Using the BIM software and Autodesk Revit platform enables us to flexibly expand our office and a network of associates, according to our needs. The usage of Revit platform provides a better control of all project phases and final cost calculations, ranging from the project design and construction to maintenance. Experience in working on most complex projects, such as laboratories and hospitals is one of our most important competencies, as well as a reference for designing all architectural typologies. In our project design, we always apply the latest “green building” technology.
- WORK IN PRACTICE
- The architectural work of the office drew international acclaim with their Emergency Terminal Zagreb project already in 2009. The ETZ has been awarded at home and abroad. The awards include the Viktor Kovačić Award (2009), World Architecture Festival Category Winner (2009) and the 47th Zagreb Salon of Architecture Award. The Emergency Terminal Zagreb has also been nominated for the prestigious European award Mies Van der Rohe and Contract World Award (Germany). The work has been presented in many notable architecture magazines, at home and abroad.
- WORK IN ACADEMIC AND PUBLIC LECTURES
- Along with successful realizations of projects, KatušićKocbek Arhitekti lecture at international architectural symposia and conferences; The Piran Days of Architecture, Days of Oris, Life and Architecture conference in Pécs, Hungary, and others. Davor Katušić worked as a lecturer at the Art Academy in Split, a lecturer at IGUW, the Technische Universität in Graz, Austria, and a visiting professor at the Pécs University of Architecture, also working as a critic at the same university in Marcel Breuer Ph.D. School.
