Awards
2014
• Maks Fabiani Recognition Award for the Bohinj Cycle Path project, in collaboration with Atelje Ostan-Pavlin
2011
• Golden Pencil Award, awarded by the Chamber of Architecture and Spatial Planning of Slovenia. In collaboration with Atelje Ostan-Pavlin, the cycle path from Bohinjska Bistrica to Lake Bohinj and on to Srednja vas, mostly along field tracks, was recognised as an outstanding example of themed cycle path design in Slovenia and a model of good practice. For active tourism in Bohinj, it is more than a good design — it is a strategic project. “The rest areas and viewpoints are well placed, while the structures and street furniture are interesting and imaginatively designed, with materials and forms in harmony with the local architectural heritage and cultural landscape.”
2008
• Golden Pencil Award, awarded by the Chamber of Architecture and Spatial Planning of Slovenia. In collaboration with architects Aleksander S. Ostan, Nataša Pavlin and Veronica Egart, for the exhibition design accompanying the public presentation of the City of Ljubljana's new spatial planning documents (SPN, IPN) (2008).
2006
• Golden Pencil Award, awarded by the Chamber of Architecture and Spatial Planning of Slovenia, for the artistic project to convert the former prison on Metelkova into Celica Youth Hostel, Ljubljana, with KUD Sestava
