Foundation of our approach.
The built environment defines our lives. Space shapes our habits, identities, and interactions, which is why architecture cannot be reduced to merely drawing buildings. It is a discipline that unites human behavior, context, engineering, economy, and environmental responsibility into one coherent act.
This understanding is further reinforced through my academic work at the Faculty of Architecture in Sarajevo, where teaching and research form an integral part of professional practice. Engagement with students strengthens methodological clarity, structured analytical thinking, and a responsible, human-oriented approach to design in practice.
NOTA BENE was established in 2017 with the objective of integrating scientific research, architectural design, and coordinated engineering into a unified practice. Since then, the studio has developed into a team committed to delivering precise, verifiable, and performance-oriented projects.
Every project we develop seeks balance: spatial quality, sustainability, and cost efficiency. Energy performance, reduced CO₂ emissions, material durability, and user comfort are inseparable from questions of budget, maintenance, and investment logic.
Architecture, for us, is never a “drawing for a permit,” but the creation of enduring assets, i.e. spaces that serve people and responsibly use the resources invested in them.
Today, our portfolio includes residential and public buildings, highrises, hospitality projects, interiors, modular systems, and complex urban environments locally and abroad. Regardless of scale, every project is shaped by its context and refined down to itssmallest detail.
Architecture is a responsibility. It must endure, inspire, and create value beyond the present moment. Every project is a dialogue between human and nature, investor and user, present conditions and future expectations.
