1
Years Experience Working
Aleksandra Poloni Grubač is a Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina, based architect
specializing in custom residential and public design, remodeling, renovation and
historic preservation. She is a licensed architect with over 11 years of experience, and
her work can be seen throughout Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Croatia.
Aleksandra’s lifelong fascination with shaping the residential and public environment
has led her to study and practice in most styles of architecture – she is equally
comfortable designing in classical and contemporary idioms.
It’s all about the client – developing a close connection that helps me thoroughly understand how you want to live. And, once I understand that, my mission is to create a special, personalized solution that will transform how you live weather it is in your office, home, garden, etc. Architecture around us should be charging our emotional batteries not draining them.
A “classicist” by training
and a “modernist” by inclination, Aleksandra’s style is rooted in the desire to integrate
the timeless values of traditional architecture with the openness, light and technical
innovation we have come to expect from contemporary design. Aleksandra believes
that architectural design is a collaborative process – not an extension of the ego of
the architect.
A native Bosnian/Croatian, Aleksandra began her architectural practice in Sarajevo. It
evolved into a design/build firm that was highly acclaimed and garnered many
accolades over a dozen years.
PASSION
I love working with people who want to do something unique with their
investment.
I collaborate with my clients. I am not interested in winning architectural awards and
seeing my designs in architectural websites. The problem with having those goals is
that you design for a magazine rather than for your client. Throughout the project I
listen to understand how my clients live and what they need. The goal through this
process is to discover and learn how my architectural expertise can help them meet
the lifestyle they want.
ARCHITECTURAL STYLE
I’m fascinated by all styles and periods of architecture, from classical to
contemporary, and I’ve designed spaces in just about every genre. I’ve specialized on
historic buildings and have an in-depth understanding of historic preservation and
everything it includes. I also love contemporary design. I’ve done everything from
custom spaces to one-bedroom apartments. For me, the architectural style is almost
secondary to the excitement of finding creative solutions to difficult ventures.
In addition, my expertise extends outside, to outdoor planning and horticulture.
MISSION
I want to make a difference in quality of people lifes. Rather than imposing my views,
I will listen carefully, understand their dreams – and find the creative solution that
results in a beautiful, cozy home.
