Studio
'Dva arhitekta' (Cro. 'two architects') is an architectural studio founded in 1992 by Tomislav Curkovic and Zoran Zidaric. Their first projects dealt mostly with interior design made with a minimal budget and a lot of effort, but quickly gained great recognition. In time, their primary focus shifted from interiors to family houses, a category which Dva arhitekta have branded with their own recognizable signature.
Spanning their 25 year long collaboration, they have been winners and nominees for the most important architectural awards in Croatia and lately abroad, in competitions like Cemex Awards, Wienerberger Brick Award and World Architecture Festival. Three years in a row they were shortlisted for The Plan magazine Awards culminating in last years’ win with of The Wine Chateau project in the production category. Although Dva arhitekta have worked mostly in Croatia, their scope extends even further, fuelled by numerous features in architectural magazines and sites, international book publications and exhibitions.
