A.biro was established in 1999 by Miloš Florjančič. It initially comprised a team of three architects (Miloš Florjančič, Matej Blenkuš and Jerneja Fischer Knap) later grew to include others. The current team is headed by Matej Blenkuš and includes architects Katja Cimperman, Anja Cvetrežnik and Grega Valenčič and architecture students Tadej Rezar, David Klobčar, and Matic Banko.

A.biro engages in a wide range of projects in a number of fields (the studio is currently not involved in urban planning). The team works on around 15-20 architectural projects annually, and is active throughout Slovenia. A.biro's approach highlights a deeper understanding of the space in which a project is situated, and seeks to draw on meanings and nuance of specific spaces that give their work a sense of permanence.

Projects

A.biro's significant projects include the 'Chinese Wall' Hotel Park Restaurant adaptation, the interior of Glass Gallery Glezia, the Jakopič Gallery adaptation, Family House F, Family House H, Bovška hiša, Vila na Skalci interior design, Ljubljana Bus Station, the New Sarabon car park, the Grosuplje Public Library, Mozaik building, renovation of the Bogenšperk castle, Šentpeter garage building, Imparo office building, Brinje housing and the Vertikala office building.

One of its projects - the Šmartinka Multipurpose Building - has been featured in the Phaidon Atlas of Contemporary World Architecture.

At the end of 2015, the Planica Nordic Centre was inaugurated. The multi-use winter sports facility was the work of several studios: Studio AKKA (landscape, including the lay-out of infrastructure and cross country lanes), STVAR Architects (service and performance buildings, pavilion), and A.biro, who redesigned the ski jumps and bridges. Their work on the project received the 2015 TREND Award 2015 for outstanding achievements in visual creativity.
