Nordic Centre Planica warm-up building, 2016
Architects Aleš Vodopivec and Marko Smrekar set up STVAR architects in Ljubljana in 2005 following their successful submission at the open competition for the design of the Central Library Celje building. The studio comprises a team of architects, engineers and flexible external specialists. The team is active across the full spectrum of building engineering, from demanding public projects to detail-rich interior designs for private clients.
Noteworthy recent projects include the reconstruction of a swimming resort in the Municipality of Radovljica (a work-in-progress) and collaboration on the construction of the new Planica Nordic Centre in the Tamar Valley in northwest Slovenia. STVAR architects conceived the service and performance buildings and pavilion, while A.biro designed the ski jumps and bridges and Studio AKKA handled the landscape architecture, including the layout of the infrastructure and cross-country trails. For their work, the studios received the 2015 TREND Award for outstanding achievements in visual creativity.
