Larisa Čišić - CEO, licensed architect
I've always seen architecture as a healing art, not just as a beautification art. - James Polshek.
Larisa Čišić, graduated in 2017. at the Faculty of Architecture in Zagreb with the master thesis 'refugium, a network of urban micro-getaways as a model of preventive health care'; the case of Zagreb'. She is an architect, designer, traveller and a passionate lover of life who believes in the ruach, ancient Hebrew: 'explosive, expansive, surprising, creative energy that permeates all things, holding everything together and giving the universe its life, depth and fullness'. She is passionate about experiments in architecture and discovering its social and healing potential. She did her internship in four reputable studios in Zagreb and Tokyo, as well as on the Erasmus + exchange program at the Politecnico di Milano. She is the winner of several awards for architectural design, as well as a volunteer in the projects "Acupuncture of the City - improving the quality of urban life through a series of small and precise interventions in urban areas" and "Zagreb for me - urban revitalization of public spaces".
At kunstmanir STUDIO we are focused on creating a spatial experience that goes far beyond of building a livable self.
From tree houses to glamping resorts, kindergartens to experimental pavilions, wabi sabi interiors to custom design solutions, our mission is to elevate the healing and meditative potential of architecture.
We are specialists in using organic materials, designing modular constructions and renewable energies.
