 The beginnings of OFIS' activities date back to the nineties, which was an exciting yet difficult period for the former Yugoslavian republics that were undergoing intense self-re-evaluation and reinvention from scratch, economically and culturally. In terms of architecture, this meant that most of the larger architectural offices had to be scaled down or went bankrupt and so creating a space for younger groups or individuals to participate in architectural competitions.
 The firm's work encompasses architecture, urbanism, art, and stage design. It ranges from new buildings to interventions within old structures; scales from stadiums down to a small farewell chapel; programs from social housing, luxurious villas and residences, sports facilities, and cultural and office programs. Over the past ten years, they have been dealing with various national and international clients from the private sector to the commercial sector and also state institutions.
