PLATO is an architectural studio based in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegowina.
The studio was founded on the vision of its lead architect to rediscover the essential meaning of space, and to create environments that feel deeply personal and authentic to those who inhabit them.
At its core, the studio is shaped by this guiding idea, while its strength grows through a carefully selected network of collaborators. Each individual contributes through their own discipline, bringing new perspectives and supporting the realization of projects with clarity and purpose.
At studio PLATO, we create interiors and architecture of residential spaces that elevate everyday living. From the first sketch to the final build, every detail is shaped with intention and executed with exceptional care, ensuring the final result surpasses your expetations.
Our work is rooted in continuously evolving knowledge of environment, spatial philosophy, and emerging technologies which we thoughtfully integrate into each project.
What we offer is not a style, but a way of thinking - a process that allows spaces to become deeply personal, yet timeless, grounded in their essence and naturally resolved.
WHAT TO EXPECT
SERVICES
- ARCHITECTURAL PROJECT DESIGN for villas and houses The main architectural project typically includes: - Architectural drawings Floor plans, sections, and elevations that define the spatial organization, proportions, and overall appearance of the house or villa. - Site plan Positioning of the building within the plot, including access, orientation, and relationship to the surroundings. - Conceptual and design development Refined spatial concept translated into a clear architectural solution, aligned with the client’s needs and the character of the location. - Material and facade definition Selection and description of materials, finishes, and façade treatment that shape the identity of the project. - Technical descriptions Written documentation explaining construction systems, materials, and key design decisions. - Basic structural and installation coordination Integration of architectural design with structural logic and main mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems. - Area calculations Gross and net surface areas, building coefficients, and all required calculations for permits and approvals. - Documentation for permits All necessary drawings and written parts required for obtaining building approval.
- INTERIOR PROJECT DESIGN FOR BOTH RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL SPACES The main interior design project typically includes: - Spatial layout and organization A carefully developed floor plan that defines functional zones, circulation, and the overall logic of the space. - 3D visualization Visual representations of the interior that communicate the spatial experience, materiality, and lighting before execution. - Technical drawings for implementation A complete set of detailed drawings and documentation required for on-site execution, including: • Floor finish layouts and specifications • Wall treatments and surface finishes • Reflected ceiling plans (if applicable) • Electrical layouts (lighting, switches, sockets) • Lighting specification and fixture selection • Plumbing layouts (water supply and drainage positions) • Positions of heating and cooling elements • Detailed drawings of custom-made furniture and joinery • Specifications of selected loose (purchased) furniture • Ceramic layout schemes and tile positioning • Specifications of ceramics and sanitary equipment - Material and finish specification Carefully selected materials, textures, and color palette that define the character and cohesion of the space. - Furniture and equipment definition A complete overview of all elements within the space—both bespoke and selected—ensuring consistency in design and quality.
- PROJECT SUPERVISION - Project supervision typically includes: - On-site visits and monitoring Regular presence on site to review progress, verify execution quality, and ensure alignment with project documentation. - Clarifications and technical support Providing additional explanations, sketches, and adjustments where needed during construction. - Coordination with contractors and craftsmen Communication with all involved parties to ensure accurate interpretation of drawings and smooth workflow on site. - Material and detail verification Checking materials, finishes, and details during execution to maintain consistency with the design intent. - Problem-solving on site Addressing unforeseen situations and proposing solutions that remain aligned with the concept and quality standards.
1. Working with us is a process of discovery of space, material, and the way you live.
2. From the beginning, you can expect guidance. Not only in making decisions, but in understanding them: why something works, how materials behave, how space can support your everyday rhythm.
3. You can expect a space that is not only visually refined, but deeply considered calm, balanced, and lasting. Beauty, for us, is not an addition, but a result of clarity and alignment.
4. Throughout the process, we remain present: guiding, refining, questioning, and supporting. We shape the project together, translating your needs into a space that feels natural, personal, and essential.
PROJECT TIMELINE
2. Site measurement & examination
1. Initial talk, professional consultation The first step in shaping the project: an open conversation that helps us understand your lifestyle, needs, and vision. It allows us to establish a clear direction and begin creating a space with a unique atmosphere, material language, and spatial logic.
4. Client approval
3. Concept moodboards and floorplan presentation. Through sketches, references, material selections and early layouts, we define the core idea of the project.
6. Client approval
5. Project creation. Detailed 2d and 3D presentation for explanation of our vision. Visual clarity before execution. Through high-quality 3D renderings, we communicate the spatial experience, materiality, and light — allowing clients to fully understand and engage with the design before construction begins.
7. Detailed technical drawings - Main project ready for execution We develop detailed drawings, technical specifications, and material definitions required for precise on-site execution, ensuring that every element is clearly communicated and aligned with the design intent.
8. Project realisation and supervision Ensuring the integrity of the design throughout construction. We provide professional supervision on-site, coordinating with contractors and craftsmen, reviewing progress, and ensuring that all work is executed in accordance with the project documentation and design vision.
