Mikelić Vreš Architects (MVA) is a Zagreb-based architectural practice founded in 2007 by architects Marin Mikelić and Tomislav Vreš. The studio specialises in contemporary architecture and urban design, with a portfolio spanning individual residences, multi-residential buildings, hotels, commercial properties, public buildings and urban spaces. Its architectural philosophy is rooted in a careful understanding of each project's location, natural and built environment, and individual user requirements, with particular emphasis on functionality, spatial quality and contemporary architectural expression.
The practice develops tailored architectural solutions, from initial concepts and spatial planning to detailed design and multidisciplinary project coordination. Particular attention is given to the relationship between indoor and outdoor spaces, material selection, natural light and the quality of everyday living environments. Notable completed projects include Courtyard House in Zagreb's Pantovčak neighbourhood, a contemporary family residence featuring a private courtyard and swimming pool, and the Trnje Apartment Building, recognised for its innovative approach to shared spaces and residential organisation. The studio's work has received numerous professional distinctions, including the Viktor Kovačić and Vladimir Nazor awards.
Beyond residential architecture, its portfolio includes the Histria Aromatica Homestead in Istria, Hotel Well in Tuheljske Toplice and various public and commercial developments. Mikelić Vreš Architects is particularly relevant for private investors, landowners and property developers seeking thoughtful architectural solutions tailored to their location, lifestyle and long-term property value. Its experience in private residences, residential developments and technically demanding architectural projects allows the practice to combine contemporary design, technical expertise and functional spatial planning.
