Ofis Arhitekti in Ljubljana was formed by Rok Oman and Špela Videčnik in 1996. Both studied architecture at the Faculty of Architecture, University of Ljubljana before continuing their studies at the Architectural Association School of Architecture in London. Their work negotiates between architectural projects in different scales (from 30 to 50,000 square metres), covering performing arts and design.

Past projects by Ofis arhitekti include an under-extension to a villa in Bled, the Old Oaks 19th-century lakeside villa extension project, and in 2004 their most prominent work, a contemporary extension to the City Museum of Ljubljana and renovation of the old museum space using an innovative formal and experiential vocabulary. Other projects include 650 Apartments in Ljubljana, in which the exactness of the modular was explored and translated into a composition of the flexible and the inflexible, creating a delightful apartment complex, and Housing on the Coast, a low-cost housing project along Izola Bay which successfully employed the humble modular unit.

Ofis arhitekti has participated in several Venice Architecture Biennials, in the 1st Beijing Architecture Biennial of 2004, and in the London Architecture Biennial of 2006. Since 2001 the company has also presented its works at lectures in Ljubljana as well as in Croatia, the UK, Germany, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Belgium, Spain, China and the USA.

Ofis arhitekti has been awarded many prizes, including the Piranesi Award for its 16 x 68 Housing Block in Piran (2000), the Young Architect of the Year Award (London, 2000), the Design Vanguard Award (2001), the designation as one of five young architectural offices 'to look out for' in the Guardian (2001), the Architectural Record Award, New York (2001), the RIBA Architectural Review and Design Awards, London (High Commendation for the City Museum Ljubljana, 2004), the Miami Biennial Honors for Villa Under-Extension in Bled (2005), the European Grand Prix at the Innovation Awards, Monaco (2006), and the Mies van den Rohe Awards (Commendation for Housing on the Coast, 2007).
