studio after

We are Studio After, or Katarina and Luka, an architect duo from Serbia, combining design practice, research, and visualization with a strong focus on housing, heritage, and adaptability in architecture. Our background spans architectural design, supervision work, teaching, and high-end visualization for international clients, alongside academic research into spatial culture and forgotten heritage. We have collaborated with DaNS, BAZA – Platform for Spatial Praxis on competition projects, speculative studies, and curatorial initiatives, and are part of the BAZA Youth network, engaging in experimental and critical architectural practices. We have exhibited work in Serbia, Slovenia, and Italy, published research papers on modernist heritage, adaptable reuse, and post-war housing typologies, and curated an exhibition dedicated to the pioneering work of Dušan Krstić, whose analytical frameworks for evaluating residential quality remain relevant today. Our practice is informed by a belief that architecture carries a collective memory and latent intelligence that can be reactivated to address contemporary challenges of housing, urban transformation, and sustainability. Through Studio After, we merge technical expertise, narrative-driven design thinking, and a speculative approach to spatial futures. Our work spans built projects, visualisation, and research, with a focus on translating complex architectural ideas into accessible and impactful outcomes. We are interested in challenging dominant architectural discourses by exploring alternative models of housing, preservation, and urban transformation that prioritise adaptability, ethics, and long-term value. Whether through design, research, or curatorial work, we aim to uncover hidden layers of architectural intelligence and reframe them as opportunities for rethinking spatial practices in contemporary contexts.
