Studio

Our office commits to excellent design and qualitative buildings, that time and again offer a sensible response to the building task at hand within its specific context.
We explore the context of the situation in which something can happen. The situation within which something exists or happens, and that can help explain it.
In the design process our office doesn’t hold on to a particular architectural style, but works from a consistent design method, in which certain principals define the project.
Our method rests on the principlethat the design should be continuously adjusted through critical reflection and discussion with the client. The method that well-considered shaping of the different building elements, with regards to its intrinsic structural, technical, sustainable and aesthetic qualities result the project.

Designing and building is teamwork.
We pay special attention to the exchange and dialogue with all concerned building partners – such as the client, the administration, the consultants, the contractors –which generates a positive synergy and helps the realization of a building project with a clear added value.Through collaboration with specialized consultants, a stimulating dynamic of know-how and knowledge duringthe design development is nurtured to result in an optimized building.

Designing and building is a process.
Having good control of the project process is an indispensable key for a good execution of an architectural project. The management of administration, planning, cost control and compliancy with regulations are continuously checked and balanced.

Styria employs professional experienced architects, engineers and young designers in a teamwork environment, using “high-end” software and Building Information Modeling (BIM).

He completed his Architectural internship with the rector of the Diplomatic Academy of Vienna and architect prof. dr Carl Pruscha at his office “Studio for Habitat and Environment”.

He continued his education at the Doctoral School of Architecture at the Graz University of Technology.

As of 2001, he is in charge of the Styra Architecture office along with his father Ljubo Mišič and coworkers. In 2003 he became a member of the Slovenian Chamber of Architecture and Spatial Planning and then he also became an authorized architect and project leader of architecture plans for complex, less complex and simple structures.

David Mišič and his coworkers are authors of many important public facilities such as the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, many multi-apartment buildings, commercial buildings, schooling facilities and residential houses. He was also nominated for the European Union Prize for Contemporary Architecture “Mies van der Rohe” award in the year 2011, for his restoration project on the Castle Hompoš, The Faculty of Agriculture and Life Sciences.

His completed works include many solutions for competition projects such as the proposal for the University of Ljubljana, the National University Library NUK II facility and many other public kindergartens and schools.

Styria Architecture won the first prize for its urban and architectural solution of the Foranč area in Piran and the center area of Strunjan.

Many important public facilities were built after plans created by the Styria Architecture office, such as the Cultural Center of Arnold Tovornik with a library in Selinca ob Dravi, the Emergency Center Novo Mesto, the Department of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine in Maribor, the renovation of the Baroness house in Maribor and the revitalization of the Vrhe farm near Slovenj Gradec.
