Statements

The Golden Pencil Award 2013 for excellent realization. Commission: Vedran Mimica, Croatia; Andreas Ruby, Germany; Tomaž Pipan, Slovenia; Dr Dušan Ogrin, Slovenia.
“The colour orgy of red and green in the new part gives a sense of a luxurious salon, in which people can also work. The architects’ decision to use red in the interior, with which the products themselves are painted, contributes to the strong energy generated by the production facility.”

“With the concept of creating the atmosphere through colour, the architects managed to completely blur the visual rhetoric of a traditional factory premises of the heavy industry. The space does not reproduce romantic industrial iconography of sweat, smoke and heat, but stirs a feeling of arousal, which exalts the precious nature of industrial work, which is becoming increasingly rare in the western world, Slovenia included.”

 

HOUSES, Private interior of 2017. Commission: Peter Gabrijelčič, Ana Gruden, Tomaž Krištof, Kristina Dešman.
“The so-called gorge creates a special magic, creating the illusion that heaven is not that far: the skylight, the thin, almost gentle metal tensile position of the roof, the innocent whiteness, and the fence in the form of stairs that lead to the “heavens”. The consistency of the concept and the imaginative form have created an impressive iconic interior.”

 

Nande Korpnik, architect and full professor at the Department of Architecture in Maribor
“In their opinion, categories, such as content, format, function, program, and context are more separating than binding. Therefore, they place greater emphasis on the importance of architecture as a medium and communication, which is free from formal language. They also emphasise the importance of dialogue between actors in the construction process.
Their professional and media breakthrough is apparent. They are gaining popularity among clients, lecturers and the media: Finance, Hiše, Oris, etc.
What can my closing thought be than: ‘Run, Superform is coming.’”

 

Prof. Dr Danica Purg, President and Dean, IEDC – Bled School of Management
“I remember your creative plan for our new building in Bled. It was a very original and wonderful design, which unfortunately we did not manage to realise. But I am sure that this shall happen in the future. I wish you many more brilliant and original projects.

 

Iztok Špan, general manager, Tajfun
“The cooperation between the Tajfun group and the Superform architects has been a long and successful one. We created a lot of conceptual designs and realised them. In fact, with Superform, the conceptualisation itself ever demands any crucial amendments. The men and women at Superform somehow feel you and simply know what and how something should be done. Or we can sense what everyone is feeling. At the end of the day, such cooperation means everything – functionality, design, placement in the environment. Of course, this kind of architecture is not for everyone; it is ambitious and modern. We could say it has “balls”. However, on the other hand, it is quiet, not too flashy, just confident and proud in the space in which it resides. Exactly how we see Slovenia in the future.”

 

Nada Vodušek, journalist, Primorske novice
“Can our dwellings be as dramatic, mysterious and unpredictable as nature? Do we perceive them with all our senses? If we were to pose these questions to a Superform architect, he would agree without a slightest hint of hesitation.
Loyal to the principle that form succeeds experience, they even managed to designed a mansard apartment in the attic of an old town house.”

 

Matevž Granda, art director, Outsider
“Anyone can interpret the saying clothes makes the man in their own way, but no one can blame a company that wants to express what they do with how they look. Especially if this is not done in the form of a banal advertising sign, but as an integral and coherent part of the architecture itself.
In the commercial-production building Propulsion 02, the technologically-energetic solution at the same time expresses the reinterpretation of the motif of the gearwheel, which is one of the company’s products. Therefore, the entirety is not condemned to advertising or ad-hoc catalogue solutions, but is instead a sovereign and uniform move that resembles the consistency of highly rationalised industrial production.”

“The industrial hall of the Superform bureau is also fantastic. An interesting metal construction, overlays, wonderful colours, and terrazzo on the floor, while the space itself resembles a dance hall. My initial thought was that it might even be too good for its function.”

 

Westley Cockle, Head Project Management Consultancy, Source8, London, United Kingdom
Microsoft Ljubljana Project: »My team was very impressed with the quality of your design. Superform were able to digest the client’s design standards and develop a very well thought out and appealing design which complimented the client and the local culture. Your support through-out the project was excellent, projects are risky by nature, you were able to navigate all the issues presented to you and your above and beyond work ethic ensured that this project was delivered successfully.«

 

Klara Vincentova, Real Estate Portfolio Manager at Microsoft, Prague, Czech Republic
»The outcome of the Microsoft premises looks great and we are happy to have such an inspiring office in Ljubljana!
The basket element is really cool, so are the feature walls and I really like the hub area with the seating and community »slovenian« table! The overall design is representing MSFT identity, while the space still looks local, yet impressive! The overall flow works really well and we are glad people feel proud of working in such an amazing environment.«

 

Vasja Zupan, COO, Bitstamp
»At Bitstamp, we were looking for a long-term partner to manage our business premises and found an excellent team of architects at Superform. They have been with us from concept to completion, dedicated to the quality of their work, and we have always been very satisfied with our collaboration. Throughout our cooperation, we have recognized the high professionalism and understanding of client needs in Superform’s work.«

 

Marko Krivec, client of the “House within a House” attic project
»Every client embarks on a comprehensive apartment renovation project and the creation of a new home with the utmost zeal and enthusiasm. It’s hard to imagine a more reassuring feeling than when the project team approaches with equal or even greater excitement for creation. Not just for something new, but for something satisfying and inspiring, beyond conventional thinking. I believed in the excellence of the ‘House within a House’ project from the first day I saw the conceptual design, so I constantly strived for optimal implementation during construction. And with each day I spend in my new home, I am more thrilled that I chose to collaborate with the architectural office Superform.«

 

Jan Ekart, architect, employed at Superform
»I would like to thank you for a year and a half of incredibly creative, extremely educational, and insanely fun work in your architectural story. Sincerely thank you for the opportunity to join a firm I have admired since my early years at university. Being part of this will remain a special, almost idyllic memory forever.«

 

Marcel Primožič, CEO, Somar d.o.o.
»As the Roman master wrote more than 2000 years ago, the fundamental principles of architecture are encountered in all their essence and meaning in the works of the architectural firm Superform, d.o.o., and their impact on society. But not only that, the principle of beauty in all its splendor and harmony intertwined with the life energy that they infuse with their mastery of this principle. It is an extraordinary pleasure to work with someone who operates comprehensively in accordance with their six values, which are ‘engraved’ on their website. This means that they are honest with themselves and at the same time with us, the clients. Superform has demonstrated a high level of professionalism, creativity, and dedication at every step of the project. Their ability to infuse a company’s identity into architecture and transform it into functional, aesthetic, and sustainable solutions has been impressive.«
