Špela Videčnik and Rok Oman, both graduates from the Ljubljana School of Architecture and London’s Architectural Association, established OFIS arhitekti in 1996. The office is based in Ljubljana and Paris.
Since its creation, the practice has been investigating space relations in different scales and context. Their work is represented by various programs from public, sport, cultural and religious buildings to single and multiple housing. Their academic research combines different interests and curiosities. They investigate European and local Slovenian identity in contemporary architectural language, which includes traditional knowledge of vernacular buildings, revitalisations, conversions and new constructions in alpine area. Through their research of Habitations in Extreme environments they built several alpine shelters in Slovenia and a glass house in the desert in Spain. These investigations are included in their concepts that create low energy consumption buildings built with natural materials and sustainable principals as for example Hotel Bohinj, a Student Housing in Paris and a recent renovation of modernistic landmark Tiskarna in Ljubljana.
OFIS arhitekti has undertaken international projects for various sports facilities and stadiums in Slovenia, Croatia, France, Spain, Russia, Belarus, and Italy. Their designs for the Football Stadium Ljudski vrt in Maribor and the Bate Borisov Arena in Belarus have received international recognition, including the IOC/IAKS Silver Medal and a nomination for the Mies van der Rohe Award, and are highly esteemed by athletes and spectators alike.
They teach, run studios and workshops in various Schools for architecture including Harvard Graduate School of Design, Architectural Association in London, Hong Kong University, UCLA in Los Angeles, Milano Politecnico and ENSA Paris Val de Seine and Faculty for architecture in Ljubljana.
